I think most of the Theme Parks have discovered that The Gay Community has more disposable income than conventional families and their children.
 
There is no issue here. Just some people wanting to get together to have a fun day at a theme park.
 
A guy I work with took his whole family to six flags without realizing it was “Gay Day.”

That went over well.
 
Disneyworld has something similar, don’t they?
I don’t know about Walt Disney World Resort, but I know that there are Gay Days at the Disneyland Resort (DLR) in California but the are not officially endorsed or sponsored by the Walt Disney Company (WDC). It’s a fairly common thing at DLR for people with similar interests to show up and get together. In the middle of July, there is a group called the NFFC (a group of Disney memorabilia collectors) that gets together as well as various online communities who gather on July 17th to celebrate the anniversary of Disneyland Park’s opening in 1955 (I go every year). There’s also the Bat’s Day at the Fun Park every year where goth kids get together at Disneyland. I’ve never gone to Bat’s Day but I imagine it’s interesting. None of these events are officially sponsored by WDC but they certainly don’t prohibit them.

Gay Days is one of those kinds of events. A group of people organize an event and decide on some sort of identifying marker (I remember seeing red shirts or buttons with rainbow Mickeys on them the first year I noticed this). Everyone is well behaved and I haven’t men or women making out on the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean or anywhere else in the public areas of the Resort.

Then again, the group I hang out with Sunday afternoons (an online community of Disney fans) is fond of trying to sink the ride vehicle boats on Pirates (a lot of us are…well, “fluffy”) and making a wave that washes over the wall between the flume and the queue (if you’ve ridden Pirates at Disneyland, you know what I mean). We barely did it yesterday…
 
Should a topic be decided, a new thread may be opened.

Thank you to all who participated, this thread is now closed.
