The last time we went during that time of year was in 2001, there were quite a few teenagers in the parks on certain days (which if I remember correctly were the days of the grad nights), we were staying at POFQ and there were some rather 'high spirited antics' for a couple of days, again which co-incided with the grad nights. Once the grad nights were over things settled down again - don't get me wrong, there wasn't any trouble but some of the youngsters were a bit 'over enthusiastic'.

We experienced quite large groups of teens, but nothing too unmentionable. We found the USF Mardi Gras was absolutely heaving and very boisterous, butthe regular park days were ok

On the grad nights themselves you will see all the girls in their prom dresses coming into the parks for their 'parties' :)

parks with grad night events normally close alot earlier

The grad nights are seperately ticketed events (like MNSSHP and MVMCP) so the park gets closed earlier. But the parks are often busier during the day and the Value and Moderate accomodation tends to be pretty full and a little more boisterous than usual. I guess between the 18th and 22nd you may notice the difference.
