When I think of “Grad Nite” Disneyland usually comes to mind but of course the East Coast Park had its “Grad Nites” also. The cover to the Grad Nite ’74 souvenir program sure is interesting, in fact it kind of gives me the creeps, I think the “mannequin” faced couple is primarily responsible for that.
Canned Heat and The Stylistics, presumably not playing together, but then again, its 1974 so who knows… Maybe this is when they formed the “Betcha by Golly, Wow – On the Road Again” tour.

Neat, I've never seen a WDW grad nite booklet. Did you know that 2011 is the final year that they held "Grad Nite" at WDW? They're still doing it at Disneyland, but as of 2013 it will be moved to DCA. Those poor bastards!
VERY cool!
The Stylistics AND Canned Heat! What a great bill. Fire up that time machine. . .
I was there. And no, the bands were not playing together, but in different areas of the park. At the entry gates, many trash cans full of confiscated alcohol bottles. And the cables car sky ride smelled like a hemp factory as kids got off. Good times.
My High School Sweetheart (now wife as of 1975) attended GradNite at Disney World in 1974. We graduated from Oviedo High School and I notice it’s not mentioned in the listing of High Schools that attended. I’m sure there are other schools not mentioned.
