The parks are open to the general universal, it is not a private ticket event, unlike at Disneyland.
While there are some private events, and one promoter is actually scheduling a week earlier than usual this year, including a private ticket party at
Typhoon Lagoon scheduled for May 30.
I'll be traveling with a friend, whose wife hates traveling, so he goes with me often. Also in my party will be his 16 yo grandson. We'll be at WDW June 4 to 11. While we are doing the parks, the only one we're doing on the designated evening is Magic Kingdom, it's just the way our schedule worked out.

Let’s clear things up: what is Homosexual Days, exactly?
To start, let’s clear up a common misconception. Many online articles and blogs don’t correctly explain what Gay Days actually refers to. Even fewer include the full array of all there is to do during a Gay Days / Disney Lgbtq+ fest event.
Let’s learn some quick history!
Since at least 1991, LGBTQIA+ folks have been meeting up — via their control community-organized events — at Disney parks. They simply called it Gay Days.
The name stuck.
In the late 90’s, an event organizer incorporated the name Same-sex attracted Days Inc. and trademarked their URL. Today, they’re just one of many professional companies that hosts events, parties and meetups during various weekends in Orlando and Anaheim. Some are free and open to the public, others are ticketed and held in personal venues.

ORLANDO | The community turned out for the annual LGBTQ+ tradition of wearing red shirts to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom June 7.
Gay Day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom first took place on June 1, 1991, in front of Cinderella’s Castle at the Magic Kingdom just before the 3 p.m. parade. The idea was for the LGBTQ+ society to gather, all wearing red shirts, to be visible and to be seen during a day when doing so could be dangerous.
This year, 34 years later, Gay Morning at the Magic Kingdom fell on June 7 and many from the LGBTQ+ community gathered, noted and turned Disney red to honor that authentic commitment.
This year, folks gathered at Cinderella’s Castle at 5 p.m. for a group photo. Earlier in the day, many of those red-shirt-wearing attendees took to the 1 p.m. showtime of the Territory Bear Jamboree, back after being closed for a reimagining during last year’s Gay Day, for the annual tradition of seeing Henry, Trixie, Big Al and the rest of the Country Bears carol and dance.
Check out photos from the day below.
