Guidelines

“I’m happier than a tornado in a trailer park!” -Mater

We want Grad Nite to be a memorable experience for all grads! Now’s the time to “Git-R-Done” and spell out the Disney dress code and conduct rules. We don’t want to send anyone home so please follow the rules and have a magical time at The Happiest Place on Earth!®

Important Notice

Failure to follow the dress code or conduct rules may result in delayed admission and/or denial of admission to your Disneyland® Grad Nite event.

​Disney cast members have the right to refuse admission to anyone they deem not appropriately dressed during the event and not following these guidelines.
​
Grads must abide by all rules and regulations set forth by the trip chaperones, bus company, restaurants, Disneyland®, California Adventure®, etc. If any of these rules are broken, the participant may be sent home at his/her/they own expense without refund. Participants under 18 years of age who are sent home are required to be picked up by a parent or legal guardian in Anaheim. They will also be responsible for the chaperone’s cost to return to Fremont if the chaperone cannot leave on the bus with the group because of parent/guardian pick up. Participants over 18 years of age who are sent home will have their parent or guardian contacted and will arrange for transportation home at their own expense.

Dress Code

All apparel must be in good condition. Excessively ripped and/or extremely revealing clothing is prohibited.

Nope

Do Not Wear
  • Clothing or tattoos with obscene, lewd or offensive language, graphics or designs
  • Clothing that could be construed as indecent, exposing excessive portions of skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment (e.g., string bikini tops and bottoms, G-strings, excessively torn clothing)
  • Clothing or accessories that drag on the ground or create a potential tripping hazard.
  • Costumes, including masks and makeup that could be construed as part of a costume.

Disneyland® Resort Security has the right to refuse admission to anyone they deem inappropriately dressed, so play it safe. You do not want to be sitting outside Disneyland or being sent home while your friends are inside the park having fun!

Conduct Rules

All students must bring a current, valid photo ID (WHS Student ID preferred) and will be required to show it at check-in and upon boarding the bus.

Above The Influence

Alcohol & Drugs

It is illegal for participants to be found in possession of or under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. A participant found under the influence or in possession of alcohol and/or drugs will be immediately expelled from the trip without refund.

Even if medical marijuana has been legally prescribed to the student or chaperone, it can neither be brought into the park nor a person be found under the influence of it.

Prescription and over the counter medications must be listed on the registration form and be presented to the head chaperone the evening of departure. If medications are presented upon departure but not listed on the form, chaperones cannot take them on the trip. Please contact us at whsgradniteinc@gmail.com for any changes to the form.

(Note: A participant’s purse or belongings may be searched for alcohol and/or drugs at any time). There will be zero tolerance of illegal substances of any kind.

Eye On The Prize

Stay With Your Group

Participants are responsible for being on time for all events, check-in times and departures. If students are excessively late for a departure (more than 10 minutes) they may be left and it will be their responsibility to provide transportation to the destination.
Any paid participant inviting or encouraging a non-paying person (or stowaway) to participate on the trip or enter any attraction with the group will lose his/her privilege to participate.
