    For Grad Nite with full day park hopper, do we have to stay at DCA after 9pm or do we have in & out privileges? Can allowed to go back & forth between Disneyland & DCA until Disneyland closes & then head back to DCA until grad nite ends?

    Welcome to planDisney, Angelina. It's almost time to throw that mortarboard into the air and make some unforgettable and magical memories with your friends at the Disneyland Resort.

    I can't think of a better way to celebrate all of your scholastic achievements than with a Grad Nite party at Disney California Adventure Park. A private party is great for any graduate, but a private party at the Happiest Place on Earth? Say less. A practically perfect send-off for graduation. Not too long ago, I chatted with a Cast Member who shared that once you scan in for entry to the party, you won't be able to hop between the two parks. They also shared that you should enter the party no later than 10:00 PM. I also recommend checking with your school organizer to confirm this. 

    If you have the Full-Day Park Hopper Ticket, Plus Admission to the Disneyland Resort Grad Nite Private Party Experience at Disney California Adventure Park, I recommend doing everything that you'd like to do at Disneyland before the party starts. But of course, you can park hop as much as you like between the two parks leading up to your event. Once the party starts at California Adventure, you'll enjoy lower wait times for attractions due to the limited capacity. And don't forget to take advantage of all the fun photo ops and exclusive food offerings. 

    Angelina, while this might not be the answer you were expecting, I hope that the information I shared is helpful in planning for your upcoming visit. Let us know if there's anything else that we can help with. Here's wishing you a fun-filled night making memories with your friends. Congratulations, grad!
