Disney Grad Nites were held for the final time at Walt Disney World April 29-30 and May 6-7. This was a closed party for High School Seniors at the Magic Kingdom. The party was from 10pm-4am on the select nights. Graduates could enjoy their favorite attractions along with dance parties and entertainment throughout the park.
While I never attended a Grad Nite, I think it's a great idea! When I graduated I went on a short trip with only one other friend. Disney Grad Nite would have been perfect because we would have been able to be at the park with other Seniors and could have met people from all over the country. Individuals, small groups or large groups could enjoy Grad Nite. As I read more about the new Disney Senior Class Trip (see below), it seems like you can only really benefit from it if you are with a large group. And it's only your high school group- you wouldn't have a chance to meet other senior classes...
So seniors you've spent years working hard in school and you're finally graduating. But before you graduate you and your classmates deserve a senior class trip like no other!
Disney Senior Class Trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where you and your friends get to create one final high school memory. After all these years of hard work, you've finally made it to your senior year. Before saying goodbye to all of your friends, it's time to create a high school memory at a place where we know how to celebrate life's special moments.
Organizing a trip to the Disney Parks for your SENIOR CLASS celebration is the best way to magnify this special moment that only happens once in a lifetime. Disney Senior Class Trip takes your senior class trip to a whole new level at a magical place made for celebrating. Senior classes or senior groups can purchase specially priced theme park tickets and enjoy Walt Disney World parks in Florida anytime throughout the year. We even have special event add-ons to make you your senior trip extra special!
Seniors... it's time to celebrate with Disney Senior Class Trip!
