I don't know if you went this year, but my group really loved how Night of Joy was done! I've never been in the past, but I have been to Grad Nite (16 years ago) which had a similar setup, and one of the ladies with me has been to NOJ recently. It was extremely easy to hop from stage to stage for whatever show we wanted. We saw Matthew West, Crowder (AMAZING), Francesca Battistelli, and Mercy Me. We thoight about going in to see the end of Chris Tomlin, but we decided just to watch live on the big screen outside. The venues were great and very comfortable. We even got to see Mickey and Minie in their sporty costumes. It was a great night! We bought the 2 night tix and spent Saturday at the MK. We opted to stay in the park for the evening rather than go back to NOJ.

Any tips on how to do Night of Joy? Should we just pick a location and stay there, or do you think it's possible to move from one venue to another? Help, please!

You could move, but the feature stage area will be packed all night

We're going to NOJ for the first time. Will a schedule with specific times for artists be released ahead of time so we can decide on a plan? On Disney's site they tell where each band will be playing, but no set schedule.
