In a tradition that dates back to 1961, Grad Nite at the Disneyland® Resort (the “Resort”) has been a rite of passage for millions of graduating high school seniors. Disney’s goal is to create an environment that is enjoyable for everyone including, without limitation, all Resort Guests and Disney Cast Members. The Resort expects chaperones and school administrators to strictly enforce Grad Nite behavior expectations and policies. With each school’s cooperation, we can carry on the legacy of Grad Nite at the Resort as the magical and memorable experience that it is today.

It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that all students and chaperones attending Grad Nite (each an “Attendee” and, collectively, “Attendees”) arrive at the Resort sober and without any drugs, alcohol, or other prohibited items in their possession. We expect schools to conduct thorough bag checks and Attendee screenings before allowing Attendees to board buses for Grad Nite. Similar to the security screening process for all Resort guests, Attendees should expect bag checks and magnetometer screenings at the Resort’s backstage screening area.

In conjunction with the Anaheim Police Department, we will also be conducting screenings for banned substances.

Screenings will include bag searches and the use of drug-sniffing canines. If bag searches and/or the drug-sniffing canines indicate the presence of marijuana (or any of its derivatives including marijuana enriched products and medical marijuana) or any illegal narcotics/substance, we will ask the subject Attendee for permission to conduct additional screening. Chaperones are required to enter the security screening area with their students. A chaperone must be available at all times and prepared to handle any issues that may arise during screenings and must accompany students as needed, regardless of a student’s age.

If any banned substances are found on the bus or in the possession of an Attendee, the matter will be turned over to the Anaheim Police Department for further action. If schools/Attendees violate this policy, the school may be banned from future Grad Nite events. Attending Grad Nite is not a right, it’s a privilege.

All chaperones attending Grad Nite must be age 25 or older. Chaperones are expected to provide responsible adult supervision both during the day and evening hours of Grad Nite. Therefore, chaperones should not consume alcoholic beverages during their visit to the Resort for Grad Nite. Chaperones violating this policy will not be allowed into the Grad Nite private event and may jeopardize future Grad Nite registrations for their school. Chaperones must be available at all times to respond to any incident involving an Attendee from their school and must ensure that chaperone contact information provided to Disney is correct and complete prior to the date of the event.

All students attending Grad Nite must be graduating high school seniors that are in good standing with their school. All students must arrive together with their school in buses, large vans or chaperone-driven vehicles. Arriving at Grad Nite in a student-driven vehicle is not permitted. Each Attendee attending Grad Nite is responsible for his/her own ticket throughout the duration of the visit. Tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable and will not be replaced if expired, lost, destroyed or stolen. Attendees will receive an event wristband following successful completion of the security screening at the Grad Nite screening location. Children of Attendees or students without a registered school in attendance will not be allowed to attend regular theme park hours or the Grad Nite private event using any type of Grad Nite ticket package (i.e., paid student, paid chaperone or complimentary chaperone ticket). If an Attendee is seen with a child during the Grad Nite private event, they will be asked to leave immediately. Please leave all children at home. The Grad Nite private event is a special ticketed event for eligible attendees from registered schools, and is not open to the general public or to any other students, parents, chaperones or guests arriving at the Resort without a Grad Nite ticket).

If a chaperone should witness inappropriate student behavior, we ask that the chaperone notify a
Disney Cast Member immediately. If a student should witness inappropriate chaperone behavior, we
ask that the student notify a Disney Cast Member immediately. If a student or chaperone is ejected
from the Resort or Grad Nite, it is the responsibility of the school official(s) to dismiss the student
or chaperone from the Resort premises.

Grads and/or their chaperones may only bring in medication (including but not limited to inhalers
and over-the-counter and prescription medications) in conformance with school policy and the
requirements under applicable laws and regulations, such as Section 49423.1 of the California
