This may be a case of a few bad apples spoiling things for the whole bunch, but Disney has confirmed that this will be the last year for its annual Grad Nites. A tradition at WDW since 1972, it seems that in recent years the outlandish behavior of some guests (including entering restricted areas and damaging attractions) has caused Disney to shut the whole operation down. Also cited in the decision was increased spring attendance and increased costs, but--let's face it--the main problem was hundreds of 17- and 18-year-old kids on property without parental supervision. (Seriously, teenagers are still just kids.)
While some young students who haven't yet experienced Grad Nites might lament the decision, I'm betting the bulk of Park guests will cheer this one. (Am I sounding like a parental stick-in-the-mud? Sorry, gang! I still have little ones and can't quite see myself letting them--even as seniors--go traipsing around WDW on their own. But that's just me.)
