Stupid Guest Tricks

Actually there is a little dress code, unfortunately there's just not much to it, one thing I know is on there is that the jeans have to be 'nice' (for lack of a better word), i.e. no holes, etc. There's some more on there too, I just don't remember, this was from like 4 years ago, when I just started at Disney and was still tutoring. One of my students was going to Grad Night and showed me the what you can't bring/wear list. And, oh yeah, she was complaining about it. At the time, I didn't know it used to be much stricter (never went to Disney for a Grad Night) or else I would've told her what it used to be like. :)

As chaperones we are told that the lead chaperone has the Disney supplied pager & unless that goes off & we are called, we are free to wander the park as a guest.

Tutter, thanks for more than 2 cents worth of info :) . I wasn't aware Grad Chaperones had literally no control & only lead chaperone has a pager. Very difficult situation this presents. :( I do realize chaperones are not paid & some must attend Grad Nights because parent volunteerism is so low in schools. I give you credit for stepping up to the plate, & also reeducating me.

72 eh? Just 3 years short of the 60's, that would have been a hell of a lot of fun. :twisted:

Someone tell me why in God's name kids have to wear NICE CLOTHES to wander around an amusement park and sit on dirty/wet seats all night? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Then again, I highly disagree with dress codes in general. My high school didn't have one, thank goodness, and the students came out as more individual people than the "sheep" schools produced.

But still. Splash mountain in nice pants? Heck no.

I don't believe they're asking for nice, I think they are just asking for suitable unoffensive clothes.

When I went for my Grad Night in 97 it was definitely more on the "nice" side. No tennis shoes or sneakers were allowed, no t-shirts, no sweatshirts, no excessively baggy or tight clothing, no jeans and stuff along those lines were in the rules. I remember actually having to go buy clothes to wear to the park for six hours, in the dead of night with half the rides non-operational :P I don't even count that trip as an actual Disneyland trip. I think I got to ride three rides, Space Mountain broke down as soon as I got to the loading dock area after having been in line for about an hour or more and the park was more crowded that night than times I have been there during the holidays.

Hmm. You must be around my age, pnutshuman. I attended in 1990 (but graduated a year late due to variable credit in high school at one point.)

Grad nights or not, I don't mind wearing a dress or nice pants to go to a Disney park.
Quite actually, I wore white linen pants on GRR, I went on it 4 times in a row (thank you single riders line) and well... let's say I was glad I was wearing very nice underwear, since everyone could see it through my wet pants ;)
(yes, that was ME!)
