Hi there, Noemi, and welcome to planDisney! Whether you’re asking for yourself or on behalf of a graduate you care about, congratulations are in order. The Class of 2026 has an exciting year ahead, and there’s no better way to honor this milestone than with
Grad Nite, a Disneyland Resort tradition that has been bringing students together for decades!
Grad Nite is more than a regular visit to the parks—it’s an exclusive after-hours celebration at
Disney California Adventure Park designed just for graduating seniors. Homeschool students are welcome to join in the fun, but there’s an important detail to know: registration isn’t available directly to individuals. Instead, tickets are arranged through schools, districts, and recognized home school organizations or co-ops. If you’re connected with one, that will be your pathway to participating in this milestone event.
As of the time I’m writing this, the
2026 Grad Nite dates have been announced and registration is open! Since this event is incredibly popular, it’s a good idea to begin conversations with your group organizer as soon as possible. If that group organizer is you—and it sounds like it might be!—I’d recommend
reaching out directly to a member of the Grad Nite team who will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have and walk you through the next steps.
One of the best parts of Grad Nite is that some packages even include the
Park Hopper option that allows students to enjoy both theme parks during the day and then transition into the exclusive nighttime celebration at Disney California Adventure Park. It’s a full day-to-night experience where graduates can enjoy attractions, music, and entertainment created just for them. It’s a tradition that honors hard work, celebrates friendships, and kicks off the exciting journey that lies ahead.
Noemi, here’s wishing the entire Class of 2026 every success as they toss their caps in the air and step boldly into their future. May their celebration—whether at Grad Nite or on another Disney day—be filled with joy, pride, and memories to treasure for years to come.
Have a magical day!
Cody
