How often do Comcast execs visit UOR? Hopefully some TMs (or their "friends") can offer some insight.

I'd hate to be the guests that are in that water the next day...Oh, and you have issues with the teens running off to bone in the bushes at s theme park?
Quick, put them in bath suits and then throw them in the water where they can't really be monitored below the shoulders.
I was there in 2011 as well :wave:. Very cool time. I think the issue with the water park would be the recklessness of kids graduating high school. Alcohol or drug use combined with swimming doesn't seem like the best combination.Exactly. Even Night of Joy gets crazy and that's a Christian Event.
I did the very last Grad Nite in 2011 and it was seeing MK as i've never seen it before.
Awesome. I had a blast that night, personally just knowing the nature of the event, I think throwing it in a water park is just asking for trouble and even possible lawsuits.I was there in 2011 as well :wave:.

The Christian events for some reason are the absolute craziest of all events. Disney is actually moving theirs from MK to Wide World of Sports in a Flex Building this year so it's more of a controlled atmosphere.The christians are shoplifters? How ironic. :blank:
The thing about the Christian events is they're Christian rock concerts. So in terms of rock concerts they're fairly tame but they are still attracting people looking for that "rock concert" atmosphere.The Christian events for some reason are the absolute craziest of all events.

And the tickets are open to all, not just Christian groups exclusively. There's a lot of people that like some of the bands, but don't identify with the religion.The thing about the Christian events is they're Christian rock concerts.

I only work at Disney for a short period of time on the DCP, but I did pick up for NoJ. Keep in mind I was custodial. It was a much harder night than usual as these kids would leave trash literally everywhere as if the whole park was a trash can.I used to work at Disney and picked up a shift working Grad Night just to see what it was like. I was given a portion at the entrance to Mickey's Star Traders. When I got there they handed me a stapler and told me I was to make sure that anyone coming in with a merchandise bag had it stapled shut before they entered. All merchandise sold was bagged and stapled at the counters throughout the park. Open bags weren't allowed in the store. So yeah apparently theft is an issue.
I also talked to someone up at the front of the park. I noticed they were confiscating disposable cameras. I asked why, they said if they weren't sealed in the package they weren't allowed in. Apparently kids had figured out a way to modify the capacitor for the flash to turn them into small taser and electrocute each other.
In all fairness it is definitely a case of the slim minority making the whole look worse than they are. In general though the atmosphere tends to encourage them to let loose a little more then they should. With any large group of seniors things are going to get a little rowdy and most are going to go just a little further than they would if they were just there on their own.Mental Note, don't let daughter go to Grad Bash, Check
On a more serious note I imagine it is similar to proms and after proms where certain kids get rowdy and do things prior to going and other kids just go to have fun with their friends and are not rowdy or do things beforehand. I imagine if you hang out with your friends on a normal basis and do drugs and alcohol that you would do it here also. If you don't, you wouldn't.
Britney and RBF were what... '98? I remember hearing they were around that time.I feel really sorry for the CMs that have to work this. I know when I went for mine it was a pretty good time and quite a few of my friends at the time pregamed with a few things that weren't pot or alcohol. I was the responsible one so I spent most the night reminding idiots not to spit in rides (pan for instance) since they had cameras everywhere.
I did end up still having a lot of fun and got to see Britney Spears and Reel Big Fish.
