I heard allot of the stories. Yes, I did hear about the SG grad that was climbing up on the train station. I heard that the baby center was a holding area for some of the grads. I heard a grad offered to pay money to a female to a fox unit and was arrested on the spot.
I ended up hearing about 20 grads were arrested. I wonder how many they will have this evening?

First, Security and management surrounded the fight and let it continue until they were all good and done. Then they let the Alpha Unit work on the kids one at a time until the bleeding was all stopped. *Then* they were informed they weren't going to grad night and were told to get back on their buses.
And finally, they were informed that their bus drivers couldn't even take them home for another eight hours because they had to have their legal rest.
Yup, two busloads of unruly and unworthy kids spent about nine hours sitting on a bus in the parking lot at the TTC. Their faculty sponsors took turns glaring at them, and I understand that they weren't allowed to use cell phones, ipods, or any other form of entertainment. Plus they had only the bus loo -- Disney wouldn't let them off the buses to use the restrooms.
And of course the news that the next five classes from their schools were also banned was sent home ahead of them.
Don't you just love it when karma strikes with an iron fist like that? Even *I* can't find a smiley that shows *that* much violence!
:hysteria: :hysteria: :hysteria: :hysteria: Now THAT is awesome! I have to be honest the Grad nights I work a while back was nice. We didn't hear of any incidents or anything weird and I had no trouble with any of the teens. On the contrary they were better than regular ppl. So I guess I got lucky. I guess that since I did the event to see the chaos Karma stroke for me and it was a nice quiet night.

We had to do the same thing...and all I'll say about when was it was the '80's...
Our home park was WDW - which in those days meant MK for Grad Nite...since the only other park was EPCOT, and it was brand new...

You have a few years on me, lol. I went in 92, and it was MK for us too. In retrospect I saw so little of the park that night, lol.

yeah, in the 80's it was way different.
around '82 at WDW in MK I lived there for a week and was never caught. I lived mostly between HM and the train tunnel, near the restrooms. security never found me. I had money for food and stuff thou. in the morning when I saw the people I would just walk around like a regular guest. you could never do it now.
you do have to watch out for the maintance crews thou. worst part is the sound effects from the HM don't get turned off for hours. hearing the same soundtracks over and over and over will drive you nuts.

No, I'm betting on nuts. The Haunted Mansion at MK is a whole long way from either of the railroad tunnels. If you were staying halfway between them you'd be smack in the middle of Front Street in Frontierland.
Are you sure you aren't making up a story about Disneyland instead?
