Disney Grad Nite Rules

Chaperone and Student Behavior Expectations and Policies

For almost 60 years, Grad Nite at the Disneyland® Resort has been a rite of passage for millions of graduating seniors. Disney’s goal is to create a safe environment that is enjoyable for everyone, including all of Disney’s Guests and Cast. Disney has made several updates to the Grad Nite behavior expectation Guidelines and Terms & Conditions, and Disney will be strictly enforcing these updated guidelines. With School’s help, Disney can carry on the legacy of Grad Nite at the Disneyland® Resort as the magical and memorable experience that it is today.

Disneyland® Resort Grad Nite Policies

It is School’s responsibility to ensure that all students and chaperones attending the Grad Nite event arrive at the Disneyland® Resort sober and without drugs or alcohol in their possession. Disney expects Schools to conduct thorough bag checks and student screenings before allowing students to board buses for the Grad Nite event. However, chaperones and students will be reminded of Disney’s Guidelines and Terms & Conditions when they get off the buses at the Disneyland® Resort.
In association with the Anaheim Police Department, Disney will be conducting searches for banned substances that will include bag searches and the use of drug-sniffing canines. If bag searches and/or the drug-sniffing canines indicate the presence of an illegal substance, Disney will ask the subject chaperone or student for permission to conduct a pat down search.

• If any banned substances are found on the bus or on a Grad Nite participant or chaperone, the matter will be turned over to the Anaheim Police Department. Additionally, if School violates this policy, School will be subject to be uninvited to attend future Grad Nite events.

Chaperones are expected to provide adult supervision and therefore are NOT permitted to drink alcohol while at the Disneyland® Resort the day of the Grad Nite event. Chaperones violating this policy will not be allowed into the Grad Nite event and may jeopardize future Grad Nite invitations for School.
While Disney wants every graduating senior attending the Grad Nite event to enjoy the celebration, Disney also expects those attending the Grad Nite event to respect other day Guests and Grad Nite Guests with whom they will be sharing the Park. Certain celebratory behavior can be extremely intimidating to other Guests — especially families with small children — and therefore, should only be displayed after the private the Grad Nite event kicks off. The following behaviors are prohibited at the Disneyland® Resort and/or the Grad Nite event:

• Groups walking and/or running in locked arms (this can appear threatening to other Guests and is a safety concern in impacted areas).

• Groups chanting of any kind (this can be disruptive to other Guests).

• Yelling at high volumes in attraction queues.

The following behavior is not tolerated at all at the Disneyland® Resort:

Inappropriate touching or physical aggression of any kind
Failure to comply with a request of a Disney Cast Member (Disney Cast Members are trained to direct Disney’s Guests for optimal safety and to comply with Disney’s standards of conduct)
Inappropriate language
Theft or vandalism
Line jumping in attraction queues
Failure to comply with attraction guidelines

The following items are prohibited from being brought into or used inside the Park:

· Alcoholic beverages or any illegal substance

· Glass containers

· Outside food or liquids

· Weapons of any kind, or objects that appear to be weapons

· Laser pointers or other items deemed potentially harmful or disruptive

· Smoking, vaping and electronic cigarettes

If a Chaperone sees any inappropriate behavior, Disney asks that the Chaperone immediately notify a Disney Cast Member. And if a student or Chaperone is expelled from the Disneyland® Resort or from the Grad Nite event, it is the responsibility of School to remove the student or Chaperone from Disney property.
