So I was in the park yesterday and today.
Yesterday DL wasn’t too bad- I didn’t enter the gates until 1-2pm. I didn’t see too many grad nighters in DL. There were a few but not many. Since I got there so late I just cruised around doing doing non-fastpass rides. I think the longest I waited was 20 minutes. Note at 6-7pm the Peter Pan ride was only a 30 minute wait so I hopped in line.
People were already getting their spots for the fireworks in front of the castle at 7pm
I had Famtasmic HB dining package for 10:30 so I hung around New Orleans SQ as I was afraid of getting stuck on the other side of the park during the fireworks. Even with Fantasmic going on and people waiting for fireworks the lines for rides were the longest I’d seen all day.
I think all the people that were over at CA came over when they got kicked out at 9.
At 11-11:30pm (after Fantasmic) I did a quick round and fantasyland rides were all 15-25 minutes long and Peter Pan was at 45. Lines looked longer than earlier in the day.
Today I did early entry- got all of fantasyland done (except for PP) within the hour. A lot of rides were walk on or 5 minute wait.
About 11:30am I headed over to CA to see how busy it was. There were way more grad night kids there. Lines still weren’t really bad. I did soaring standby. The wait said 45 minutes but it was only 20( I timed it). Someone in line said even GOG was only like 1/2 hour wait.
By 4pm I was done so can’t say how tonight in the parks is.
So if your going during a grad night I think when you’ll feel the affects is when they close CA and everyone else goes over to DL in the evening.
