It rained pretty hard for awhile. Lots of fallen up-dos and wet gowns on the girls too. Does gradnite still have the strict dresscode of coat/tie or formal dresses? Seems kind of ridiculous. Who in their right mind would wear a formal gown and heels while touring in a disney park?
Originally Posted By velo I know that I, for one, would love to see pictures of STPH and 2oony from gradnight! I wore a corduroy suit too. Only for girls they were called pantsuits. It had a matching vest, and I also wore my Famolares 'cause they were so comfortable (and you had to wear heels).
Originally Posted By StillThePassHolder "I know that I, for one, would love to see pictures of STPH and 2oony from gradnight!" I'd like to tell you that there is a big difference between what I was wearing in 1976 and now, 29 years later, but......

Originally Posted By haiderodes my grad nite in 2001...no bands, just dj's and live music everywhere. it was kind of a surreal experience, being so tired, it seemed like it was over really quickly. WDW on the other hand still has bands at grad nite. when i was on my college program Mario, Stacy Orrico, and a few others performed.

If I remember correctly, Disney was behind it." It was to be on FOX Family Channel, when Disney picked it up they killed the project (yet another reason to hate that Disney bought the family channel).
