It's Celebration Time At Disney Grad Nite
Nothing is more exciting than the day a senior graduates. Family and friends attend the an elaborate ceremony at school providing well wishes to those who were able to earn a diploma, but to top it off, the event is frequently punctuated by the soiree thrown annually by the Disney Corporation providing those in attendance with a six and a half hour party unlike any other found on earth. In 2010 graduates can expect to see a gala unlike any held previously as, according to Disney officials, it is expected to be "the most elaborate celebration in the park's history." Not only will the park only be open to celebrants and their chaperons and filled with the usual non-stop fun and adventure, but Disney grad nite is also expected to be a unique celebration that will be remembered for a lifetime with celebrity performances and entertainment of a caliber never seen before.
This experience provides graduates not only with the party of a lifetime, but also allows them to identify their role as a member of a much larger community. For many it is the first opportunity they've ever had to remove themselves from the social clicks which usually structure their existence and mingle with those from many other sites in the U. S. Who all have the commonality of celebrating the greatest success in their lives. Many times these connection last long after the party ends and they are once again consumed by the demands of their everyday lives.
Many are familiar with Disneyland's action-packed attractions, major performances, unique features, and open concept, but this year's grads will also be transported into a new world with special features and activities designed solely for the enjoyment of graduating seniors. These will not only include some of the most popular entertainers available today, but will also feature a special fireworks display targeted for these special guests. Additionally, for the first year ever, school's have the opportunity to participate in a pre-grad nite Blast Off party during the two hours prior to the opening of the main park. During this special event not only will grads be treated to a special celebration of their success at Paradise Pier in Disney's California Adventure Park, but will also have access to the greatest attractions there as well.
The Blast Off party is expected to really pump up the action for the main event not only with music and dance, but with access to some of the most harrowing attractions that portion of the part has to offer. Whether one wants to ride California Screamin' with its 360 degree spin, go vertical on the Maliboomer, or plunge as a terrifying pace on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, action and adventure awaits and this is all before the big party starts. A short walk across the quad and one is able to step up the pace on Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, or even on the Indiana Jones Adventure ride. For others the many multi-themed dance parties held throughout the night will ensure that no one walks away feeling less than satisfied.
It's important for those attending to remember that the Disney Corporation has very strict mandates for those in attendance which are designed to ensure safety as well as an experience unlike any other on earth. Not only are grads only allowed to arrive by way of the school's transportation system, they must also be accompanied by chaperons. Although adults strive to remain as unobtrusive as possible, their primary responsibility is to the safety of guests and, as a result, there is a zero tolerance policy at the park. Many a party reveler has found their night spent sitting among the adults at the chaperon lounge rather than experiences Disneyland is famous for with their friends.
The main park the gates open to party-goers at 10:30 pm and will remain open until grads are loaded back on their buses at 6:30 a. M. Upon entering the park one will find the parade route lit with the lights synchronized to the music of the top 40 hits from last year blasting from speakers throughout the park. A stroll down Main Street will find one running into the main dance floor located directly in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle which will include KIIS-FM radio. Other radio stations will be located throughout the park at key locations ensuring that grads get the opportunity to speak to the world live right from the park. Lighting will also enhance pathways leading to key attractions as well as around Pirate Lake so revelers will know just how to get to where the action is.
The decision to attend this event can be complex for many. The tickets cost quite a bit and then one would have to carry additional money for food and souvenirs. It should be remembered, however, that an opportunity to celebrate one of the most important events in one's life in such an extravagant manner is rare and to celebrate with others from across the country is one that will make a memory for a lifetime. For those planning to attend it should be remembered that tickets go fast so signing up early will ensure a seat on the bus. Schools who have yet to book a date also need to be aware that few choices are left. If the school has not as yet made a commitment, seniors should take the initiative and start fund-raising now to ensure everyone who want to go, can. Disney grad nite is important on many levels. It's the last chance to party at this level with friends, to have the opportunity to meet so many new people from so many new places in one location, and the one chance to begin to understand the role you play in the bigger world.
