I remember it was very crowded when I went to WDW long ago. And I do remember that many of the buses there were out of state.

That sounds like a plausible explanation. Better to have the parks full during a slow week-day at a discount and then pack more kids in on grad nite.

Add me, Amy. At least officially. On our first trip with Emilie, we splurged for a lagoon view at the Poly. It was during grad nights and I still remember waking up at 2 am to the colours of fireworks exploding in our room. Great memory. I'm sad they're gone.
