At the moment I am planning a trip to WDW the first week in June. I found out on a website that this is Traditionally the "Gay Week" at Disney World. I am not saying I don't want to go now b/c of this information. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THIS MAKES THE ATTENDANCE RATE AT WDW WAY HIGHER THAN NORMAL! For instance: Am I going to wait in line for an extra 30 for each ride I'll be on b/c the attendance is higher than it will already be in June. Will it be harder for me to book my Resort for that week. Don't respond to me if you find this offensive. I don't mean it bad in anyway. I just want to know if we should book when the park will be less crowded.
 
I went to the gayday celebration a few years ago.
Except for the Saturday in the Magic Kingdom you really did not notice a gay presence. The Kingdom was crowded that Saturday. As to whether it was more crowded than normal, I couldn't say.

Enjoy your trip.

P.S. I used to live in Irving, Texas on Doncaster St. near MacArthur High School.
 
The only place that gets REALLY crowded is MK on the 1st Sat. in June. You can check out the website for gay day at http://www.gayday.com. Usually there is a schedule of what park they will be doing on what day.

I have been down there during gay day ... Without one problem at all ... If your worried about the crowd just stay clear of MK on sat.

I hope this info helps!

HI! We are going the 1st of June also! From what I understand it will all be over on June 3rd! For us that was our arrival date so we weren't planning on a park that day anyways.On one of the sites I can't remember where it will tell you which parks is scheduled for each day. So for example say June 1st Mk was on the schedule for gay week you could go to MGM or Epcot that day to avoid the crowds! I hope this helps! Please remember that was an example I don't remember what was actually scheduled for June 1st! LOL
 
We were there at that time a few years ago, and when we checked in we just asked the CM where to go to avoid the crowds on that day. She sent us to MGM and it was empty :D Less than a 10 min. wait for anything.
 
We have visited WDW twice during this time period and avoided the selected parks on the selected days ASSUMING that they would be more crowded. The schedule for this year is:
THU, May 31, AK
FRI, June 1, MGM
SAT, June 2, MK
SUN, June 3, EPCOT
On the Saturday when MK was the scheduled park for Gay Day, WDW had early entry for MGM and Epcot as well as the normal one for MK.


 
Hi - I've been reading posts ever since I found out that the time I picked for our Disney vacation coinsided with the Gay scheduled events. I haven't read any posts that say that it was a problem - just avoid the park of the day & you shouldn't have any problems. I have read to avoid Magic Kingdom on Saturday at all costs because it gets very crowded. I was concerned about the attendance levels just as you are. Makes no difference to me if there are any specific groups attending while were there. Just wanted to reassure you. :) Have a great time! :D
