Hi there, Lauren, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for submitting your question to us. First of all, congratulations on your upcoming graduation! What an exciting time in your life! And I love seeing other Magic Key Holders here. I've been a part of the program ever since it began and have been really happy with it.
The
Disneyland Resort Grad Nite is an event that is arranged by the
Disney Imagination Campus. Participating schools have an arrangement to sell tickets through Group Sales to students who are interested in attending. Tickets must be purchased through your school and are not sold on an individual basis to outside attendees.
With your
Magic Key, you'll be able to enter the Parks during normal operating hours for that day (subject to
blockout dates). If your school is attending Grad Nite and you have access to tickets, Ticket Option 1 will allow access to only The Grad Nite Private Party Experience at Disney California Adventure Park beginning at 9 p.m. and ending at 2 a.m. It is the most cost effective option and your Magic Key should allow you to enjoy the Parks before the party begins. Please contact your school events coordinator because you'll have to purchase tickets through them.
I'm really excited for you to attend Grad Nite, Lauren! It's a time honored tradition that began way back in 1961 when it drew 8,500 students. They've certainly come a long way since then!
Lauren, I hope that this was helpful for you. Congratulations again and I wish you a magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
