Park Hours Greatly Extended

Grad nights don't affect park hours for May or late April. The Magic Kindgom isn't open that late anyway in May or Late April.

Grad night is only at the Magic Kingdom, not at the other parks.

Don't say that "You paid good money." because I've got news for ya... All of the Seniors that go to Grad Nights have to wear almost black tie event clothing. Plus they have to pay $50 plus Transportation. They don't even get to stay overnight in Orlando. It's very fair. It's not like they make the park close early or anything, and they won't be there while you are there enjoying the rides. It's not that big of a deal. Be happy you are going to WDW at all!

U misread what i said.....i didnt say the parks would be closed half the day, what i said was that Grad Nights occur for the second half of the month of April, and most of May....they usually dont affect Park hours much.....In other words, Grad Nights (which take place at MK, and sometimes Pleasure Island too) happen on Fri and Sat nights, throughout the end of April and most of May. Is that more clear?

Okay, Billdis86, don't get snippy with me! It's not my fault adr315 doesn't know how to express himself! Here is what he originally posted:

Disney will NOT extend any days where MK closes early....thats because those are Grad-Nights, thats why MK closes early certain days this time of year, to prepare for the late night Grad-Nights

Nowhere does he say the parks will stay open for the regular May hours. In fact, he says they close the park EARLY for Grad nights. Then he says:

DogsRule, my schools Grad night is April 17 i think, and Grad Nights pretty much occupy most of the second half of April and all of May

He made it sound like they close the parks early every night in May for Grad nights. If this was the case, it would NOT BE FAIR! Thankfully, Disney is not that stupid! Thanks to JoeZerboy, and adr315 for clearing up the miscommunication.

question: next week and following week, disney plans to show Fantasmic! at 8 pm, 9:30 pm, and 10 pm. The show is about a half hour long, and it takes about 20 minutes to get everyone out and another half hour to get everyone in...and they want to have a show a half hour after the one before it starts...I don't think so! That show MAY start by 10:45! Plan for some late nights at MGM!

I think someone your age would have learned some respect for their elders. (I'm still young at heart. lol) I would have thought you were the teenager. lol. These forums aren't for mis-information or arguing. Please have the sense to stop this foolishness.

Look, just be nice. Your posts talk down to people. Maybe you don't mean it, but you often sound condecending in your posts. Just be nice.

Okay, DogsRule, I bet someone put the 9:30 showing in there by mistake. Or maybe there is an 10:30 showing instead of 10 on those nights. I'll find out when I go there tomorrow, but I won't be back till Easter. Oh well. lol. Have a good day. :)

Definitive source for Grad nights.

http://disney.go.com/disneyyouthprograms/dgn/this_year.html

The dates are as follows:

April 19 MK Park Hours 9am to 7pm Parade 3pm No Fireworks
April 20 MK Park Hours 9am to 8pm Parade 3pm No Fireworks
April 26 MK Park Hours 9am to 6pm Parade 3pm No Fireworks
April 27 MK Park Hours 9am to 8pm Parade 3pm No Fireworks
May 3 - Not published but most likely the same as April 19 or 26

No Spectromagic on any of those nights - Most likely due to the extra staging that is used for live performances during grad nights.

Grad Nights are from 11 pm to 5 am
