Gay Days 2012 - The Official Unofficial Thread ;)

[chwgmjay]

Now that I have some time to sit down and actually write something out... LOL

It's that time of the year. Time to start thinking about NEXT YEAR!


I am going to partially steal from the 2011 thread. Thanks to TagsMissy for maintaining that thread, btw.


MOST of the events are now being posted on our Facebook group. If you're interested in joining, PM myself or jackskellingtonsgirl for the link.

We aren't sure we are going next year - we are considering either a spring trip (for the Epcot Flower and Garden Show) or a fall trip (for the Food and Wine Festival) instead.

We had no WDW 2012 plans, now we are reconsidering...

 

[Jay2009]

Already made plans for september of 2012, but maybe I could swing a few days in june in. It'd be nice to meet everyone even though I don't really know anyone

 

[Groom Mickey]

I hope this is the year my husband and I can make it down to enjoy gay days

 

[MinaFemme]

My partner and I are planning to go! Our first family vacation with our baby boy. Can't wait! Haven't been to WDW since 1996 when I was 16!

 

[fmelchor88]

Not to worry, there's always the following year! It's always the first weekend in June and the days leading up to it, so no excuse not to plan now for them.

Pics won't be in THIS thread, since this is a planning thread only, but there will be plenty of trip reports posted.

nothing stopping folks from posting photos in here It's not just a planning thread, it's a general GD thread I know I'll be looking for photos here!

Hi all - glad I found this forum!
Ok, disclaimer- I am not gay ( actually married -straight relationship)
That being said - we have many friends that are, and probably members of every supportive group known (we are both educators, belong to GLSEN, Give a Damn, etc etc.)
If we are in the parks during Gay Days - I know the color worn is red - is there anything that we can wear that basically shows support? I think this is a wonderful event and saw some footage of the parties - (jealous!)
The most I have is a wonderful button I bought at our state fair booth - "straight but not narrow"
So if we are there - hope to see lots of people having a great time! Hugs to all!

 

[TagsMissy]

We just wore red t-shirts to show our support.

 

[DVC Doc]

Officially booked as of today! BLT LV studio from May 30 - June 4!

 

[insoin]

I'll be down for my first ever visit to Gay Days.

Staying at Beach Club from May 28-June 6th. I'm at BLT for the 27th but hoping my wait list for BC opens up.

You know I just gave up my studio at BLT for a studio at BCV. I wanted to try a different resort LOL.

 

[eoliver2]

Theres a good chance I'll be around, but working in the College program.

 

[Schotz]

After going this year to my first GD, I would like to go in the Fall 2012, possibly for GD Cali. Fall is a perfect time for me to go on vacation.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Still waiting for stupid vacation bids to know for sure if we'll be there. If all goes as planned we'll arrive 5/31 and stay until 6/9.

 

[zulemara]

I'm local, so I try to do a mix of things I want to do and things other people want to do.

Thursday I'll be going to Phouse because they continue to give Disney the middle finger with "PI at PH" last year included hte PI explosion dancers, mannequins Phantom show, and much more!
Friday is kind of up in the air as usual. I'd like to do one of the pool parties or something.

Sat I'll definitely be at MK for the parade and such.
Sat night I'm not sure what I'll do, but it won't be ADH. Probably Pulse
Sun I'll definitely be at DATW at EPCOT. That has easily turned into one of my favorite events.

My head hurts just thinkin about all that alcohol lol
