Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I plan to be at DCA for the crowds! how could you not be there? I am trying to figure out how and why Disney has Grad Nights scheduled for the same time period.

For some reason that has me more concerned about crazy crowds since it is an addition to the locals and the pass holders like me. Has anybody experienced the congestion for all the grad nights including bus transport for these groups? I hope the information I read on their site is wrong,especially once June 14th arrives. good luck and plan for the long lines.
