The webpage says 100,000 gay men and women will be there. Sure hope Disney knows!! haaa. PS--after reading this post, I DO NOT want to come across as anti-gay. NOT what I am saying. I think it is great....just VERY funny if Disney is not in on this...

ORDDU: And, while the event isn't exactly officially sponsored by Disney, it is certainly allowed by them because they would get into trouble if they started denying certain guests into the parks--just because they belonged to a particular group or had a certain sexual orientation. ORWEN: Maybe we'll see you around at the NEXT Gay Days at Disney World?

Originally Posted By gaston lives I'm not gay, but it seems as if every time I'm in WDW, it's gay days. Two years ago we were at MGM, and they came on the loudspeakers and told everybdoy that the park was closing early for a private party. We were pretty ticked since we had to leave after paying full price. It wasn't that bad at the long run, but who wants to leave a park before they're ready? They even closed the stores at like 6 so they could prepare. Anywho...as we were leaving, we noticed all of the seriously flaming and not so flaming gay people converging on MGM. I asked somebody (a CM) what party was going on, and they wouldn't tell me it was a gay group. They just kept referring to it as a private party. I asked if I could buy tix for it, and they said I couldn't. I wonder why Disney coudln't say that it was for Gay Days?

Originally Posted By Labuda The Studios & Typhoon Lagoon both get bought out for parties IIRC, vb. Not sure what else they do at other Orlando-area parks, but those two are every year.
