Highlights include the opening Wonderland Party at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen to the Plunge (Sunday) and Kingdom (Saturday) parties to comedy performances, cocktail receptions, and lots more. What was once a small one-day gathering has become a full weekend event with parties, gatherings, group photos, scavenger hunts, private meals, and much more! In the time span of only 16 months, Disney PRIDE UK&I has already marched in the. The group’s mission is to encourage an open environment where employees can feel safe to be their authentic selves and supported to be who they are. But Disney also takes part in Pride parades, sells Pride merchandise in some of its parks and has hosted (unofficially) Disney World's Gay Days, now an annual celebration of visibility, since 1991. Gay Days at Anaheim is not an official Disney event – the park remains open to all throughout the weekend, and GLBT attendees typically wear red shirts to indicate their participation. Disney Pride UK & Ireland was founded in July 2016 as an Employee Resource Group for LGBT+ and ally employees. This festive event takes place over the first weekend in October. This year in Toronto, a new milestone will be heralded as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joins the citys Gay Pride parade.
Begun in 1998, Gay Days Anaheim brings around 35,000 GLBT revelers to Southern California’s noted Disneyland resort and theme park, which has been delighting revelers of all ages since it launched back in 1955, forever transforming the previously quiet and little-visited local landscape.
