GAY DAY!
The original mass gathering of LGBTs in a theme park, Gay Day at the Magic Kingdom, has spawned similar outings at amusement parks across the globe. Though there’s little “official” about this very unofficial outing, there are some traditions that have carried on year after year:
11 a.m. // LGBT Youth Fantasyland Entrance behind Cinderella’s Castle
Gay and lesbian youth groups have been known to meet here.
12 p.m. // Pre-parade Cocktail Break Outer Rim Lounge, Contemporary Resort
Sometimes you need a coolingoff cocktail, and since none can be had inside the Magic Kingdom, this is the place to go.
1 p.m. // Lesbian Express Town Square

EXPOS 2014
Not that we’d perpetuate stereotypes, but no one does shopping quite like the LGBT community. That’s probably what makes the numerous Expos at the various host hotels so popular. Sure, there’s shopping for physical products: T’s, tanks, and trunks with an endless supply of pithy catchphrases and innuendos; skin-care, hair-care and mouth-care “essentials” that you never knew you cared about; and rainbow-festooned… well, everything. But there’s also shopping for the soul. You can learn about the latest challenges facing the LGBT community’s fight for equality; discover a nonprofit organization that will benefit from your support; and, in some cases, take part in health screenings, tests, and vaccinations. Think of it as a mini-mall for the mind...and merchandise!
