The following "Dress Code Guidelines and Prohibited Items" have been provided directly from the Disneyland Resort. It is your and your child's responsibility to abide by these guidelines. Anyone in violation of the Disneyland Resort's Guidelines will be subject to the denial of admission to the parks. Please be aware that park hopping shall cease at 10:00 p.m. All those with the Grad Nite wrist bands will only be allowed entry into the California Adventure Park at 10:00 p.m. and shall remain there until 2 a.m.
Should entry to the park and, more specifically, Grad Nite, be denied, your child will NOT be allowed to return to the hotel. He/she shall remain in the "chaperones' room" until the entire group returns to the hotel once Grad Nite is over.

Dress code guidelines have always been a part of Grad Nite at the Disneyland Resort. Ties, jackets, skirts and heels were once the mainstay of the grad nite experience; however, over the years the dress code has evolved to keep up with the current fashion and trends and to make everyone more comfortable to enjoy this great celebration.
The Disneyland Resort Dress code guidelines and prohibited items list have been established to ensure a safe event for all our Guests. It is ultimately the school's responsibility to ensure that all Students and Chaperones adhere to the Disneyland Resort Dress Code Guidelines upon arrive.
Please note that some individual schools' dress code policies may be stricter than that of the Disneyland Resort. We highly suggest that all schools/organizations conduct their own Security and Dress Code screening prior to departure and arrival at the Disneyland Resort for faster and smoother processing once at the Main Entrance.
Please refer to the dress code guidelines and prohibited items list on the next page.
