FAQ:

Why do I need a parent signature if I am 18 or over?

If you get hurt or in trouble and need to go home, it is your parent / guardian that will pick you up so we want them to know what to expect.


If I have an annual pass, do I still have to pay the $200?

Yes. This is a special event that can only be accessed through the school.


Why is the deadline to pay so early (3/20)?

Disney requires us to pay for all of our tickets well in advance. We must also reserve buses in plenty of time.


What if I wind up on the no-go list after I buy my ticket?

You will forfeit your ticket. There are no refunds because we have to pay our venue and the bus company ahead of time.


Why are there limited spots?

If we took every senior, we would have to have so many staff chaperones that the rest of the school could not run. At Lawndale, we are dedicated to education and that is our number one priority. We take as many students as we can.


Why do I have to have all my teachers sign the permission slip?

We are going to spend a VERY long time together. We want to make sure your behavior is good in all of your classes. Since spots are limited, this helps guarantee that students in good standing with all of their teachers get the first spots.


Why is it so expensive?

Disney has recently raised prices, as have our bus companies. This is optional and you are not required to go.


Can I drive myself or be driven down by my parents?

No. This event is only accessed by the special entrance that is only accessible by designated school buses.

Who will be there?

We have park hopper tickets and both parks will be open to the public during regular hours. The private Grad Nite event will start in the evening and only be open to graduates and chaperones. There are a few other schools that will attend on the same night as us. You will get access to some of the rides and all of the festivities (dance floors, photo ops, characters, etc.)
