Missy -

I only have one slot left at my table for the Crystal Palace breakfast. Thanks!

Got it

There is talk of putting together a singles mixer during Gay Days... MK day is going to be busy w/ dole whips and such... and Epcot day I'm sure will be busy with drinking... so I was thinking Friday @ Hollywood Studios.

Perhaps we could have lunch at 50's Prime Time Café or something... I'm not sure which days everyone is arriving.

Just throwing that out there for now... maybe I'll come up with something cooler to do though?

So I just booked my trip yesterday, and I'll be there until May 27-June 4, which according to the link someone posted, will mean I get to take in some of the gay days! I'm so excited! I had no idea Disney did anything like this! Are there special events or anything? Or are there some DIS meet-ups or what? I likely wouldn't get to do a whole lot on the 4th because that's when I'd be flying home, but if the events were early enough I might be able to take them in. Now I'm even more excited for my trip!

Want me to put anything on the first post about a possible mixer and to contact you with possible ideas ?

I think a singles mixer is a fun idea to meet people. We won't be attending as well we aren't single but we may crash the party to say HELLO!

So are we doing a Dis Dole Whip Meet on the MK day? That's our last day in the parks.

Does everyone here tend to stay at the official host hotel? Do you think it matters too much if you do or don't?
Sorry if this is posted somewhere else - I had a look but did not see any posts on this.... I could have missed it though.
Thanking you all in advance.

Actually very few of the Disney Park fans stay at the host hotel. The host hotel hosts pool parties and the expo, but tends to draw more of a party crowd who hangs out at the pool parties instead of going to the parks. 2011 will be my ninth consecutive gay days (I met my partner at Gay Days 2003)and I've never set foot inside the host hotel during the event.

We're local, so we either stay at home, or check into a hotel close to the Magic Kingdom so we can get there early and easily head back for the afternoon nap we know we're going to need.

No matter which Disney hotel you stay at, you'll be surrounded by LOTS of GLBT family.


p.s. Welcome to the GLBT forums!

Thanks Rpmdfw - that's great advice.
Do you have any tips on best place to stay near Magic Kingdom?

There's 4 hotels close to MK, 3 are on the actual monorail and the other accessible by boat/bus.

Monorail resorts = Contemporary/Bay Lake Towers, Polynesian and the Grand Floridian. The 4th resort is Wilderness Lodge/Villas.

Here a link to a map of WDW http://www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/propertymap.htm

I guess I could add an additional place if you wanted to camp/rv or stay in a cabin - Fort Wilderness. It's a bit further away but still relatively close.

Well I called right at MS opening and I couldn't get a Boardwalk View studio for my stay so I booked a Pool/Garden view and wait listed for the 4 days I need... cross your fingers and toes for me that we get our wait list!

So will there be any "events" at the parks other than the breakfast and dole whips at MK?

This year we had cocktails on Friday night at AKL, and Drink Around the World on Sunday at Epcot.

Most definitely.
