Gay Days at Walt Disney World

The first documented event, in June 1991, had 3,000 LGBTQ+ people from central Florida going to area theme parks on one day wearing red shirts to make their presence more visible.

As of 2010 approximately 150,000 LGBT people, their families, friends and supporters attended the six-day gathering (including various pool parties, conventions, festivals, a business expo, activities for kids, etc.)

[1] A local Doubletree resort has dubbed itself the "official" hotel for the event, with convention space rented to various businesses (bathroom remodelers, gourmet cooking suppliers, sex toys, etc.)

[1] In the 1990s, third party organizers and travel agencies rented Disneyland and Walt Disney World to hold events after the park's official hours.

In response, 'Gay Days' began being celebrated at Disneyland Anaheim the very same year, inspired by the unofficial event held at Disney World with the same name.
