ok so with out being rude or judgemental. i have a question that i need answered.

we are a family of five and thinking about going to wdw may 22nd thru june 4th. i have seen in the events the gay week starts june 2nd.

i was wondering if there are some familes out there who have been this time, and could give me some feed back on if we should change our dates or just continue with our plans. just not that into seeing this all over.

like i said im not wanting to judge, or start a nasty thread. im just wanting a little info.

thx

Continue with your plans...the only thing I would do is find the gay days website and avoid the park they will be at that day, since it will be the busier park of the day ,resulting in longer waits for you...lol

But seriously, there is nothing to worry about. There are tons of people with all KINDS of different preferences at Disney World EVERY DAY, the only difference in Gay Days is that the people there for that event are wearing red

We went this past year and there was no public displays and nothing vulgar. If you didn't know what is was you'd just think they were families with the same shirt on. We had the best time during gay days and met some fantastic couples.

Personally, I don't think you're going to see anything there that you wouldn't or haven't seen at other times of the year (it just may be a bit more prominent). You're going to be paying attention to your family and enjoying them, not others. Besides, a little diversity is always a good thing. It's not as if Disney is going to be throwing the biggest Drag Queen show known to man or a parade where anything goes....everybody will be Disney friendly. They are just there to have a fun vacation like you. Go and enjoy yourself.

Here, I looked it up for you even

The first 2 days, the schedule isn't for them to be in Disney anyways-the events are elsewhere.

So the only dates that would happen at the same time you are in WDW are the 3rd and 4th.

Basically, on the 3rd don't go to Animal Kingdom, and the 4th don't go to Hollywood Studios-this isn't saying you won't run into people who are attending Gay Days, but those are the planned parks for those days so they will be busier than the other parks-that's really the only thing you have to worry about during events like this!

Yes. Watch out for the evil gays!

Threads like this annoy me. Going to Disney is no different during Gay days than any other day. You will survive. I promise.

yeah, cause the gays will take over disneyworld and run amock (sarcasm for you who don't get it)

It's just a normal day, its during Spring/Summer so there will be a bit of a crowd no matter what.


Nice rainbow ticker.

The first time I went to Disney during Gay Days I had no idea it was going on. I did, on the other hand, notice A LOT of really cute guys. My Disney freak of a friend was on the phone with me and I mentioned all the cute guys. She informed me of Gay Days. If she hadn't told me I would have just enjoyed the view!

Funny story....We were in DHS on Gay Day last year. It was a horribly busy day as it was also the first day of Star Wars Weekends. We were in the store at the end of Star Tours around 5ish at night. This woman was so just irate that it was Gay Days. She had just found out. She couldn't believe that she had spent all day with her kids around "those people"! I laughed so hard. Really? If it took her all day to figure it out, I highly doubt her kids even noticed.

I'll go against the grain and say that you might want to reschedule if you concerned about it. I'm not saying that you meant to be judgmental, but your post comes across that way anyway. The idea of Gaydays may be in the back of your mind and you might unconsciously go "looking" for something to be different. No sense ruining your vacation if that is an issue.

 

[PixieDust32]

i've seen gay peepz all the time at the parks and we have no problem, they're just like us, you, me etc, people enjoying themselves at the world like all of us do.

 

[summerlady]

You say that you're not being judgmental, but you sure come across as being just that. I can't imagine, and I really don't want to, what you think goes on at the parks that week. Gay people DO have families too, ya know? Sheesh.

 

[cbg1027]

I've never been during Gay Days, but from what I understand it's not an "official" Disney event - being that it's not recognized by Disney. So the only thing that I could see as a problem (to me anyways) would be crowd levels - but looking at the UG crowd calendar, they have Gay Day events listed like the gatherings are only at one park per day. Thurs June 3 at AK and Friday June 4 at DHS. So just don't visit those parks on those days if you don't want to see so many gay people.

That being said, these people are at Disney, most likely with their families. They're not going to be doing anything vulgar - I assume Disney would kick out anyone who does. If it's really going to bother you to see an occasional same sex peck on the lips, then I would reschedule.

Nice rainbow ticker.

Ha I didn't even notice that!

 

[nascarcheshirecat]

here is another way to look at it:
(just MY opinion here)

so far, I have made 3 trips during non-gay weeks.

I have seen more vulgarity , rudeness and obnoxious folks than I ever thought possible in the magic land. This was men, women, children and all likes in between. IF this kind of behavior is what you are trying to avoid, it wont happen. You may or may notice or observe or experience any "out of ordinary behavior. "

JUST IGNORE IT IF POSSIBLE.


personal for what it is worth, I WOULD go during "gay week"
less homephobes that way~~!!!!

[hermione8]

so basically what you are saying is, " i'm not passing judgement, i just don't want to see any of them" spare me. if you are so small minded that you are afraid that seeing some gay people might ruin your vacation, maybe you should just stay in your house. they could be anywhere and might ruin your day.

sorry I find that to be a hysterical comment.

OP, I am sure it will be fine, let's teach our children to love all kinds of people

If they annoy you, don't post a reply. Just move on.

As a non-prejudiced, non-homophobe, Caucasian heterosexual woman, even I can understand the question. I don't feel it is necessary at Disney or anywhere else to celebrate ones sexuality or race. We don't have heterosexual days at Disney or anywhere else.

Why can’t we just celebrate the magic of Disney.

 

[wisnieea]

everyday is heterosexual day

 

[erincon23]

Jersey Week, Pop Warner, cheerleaders, when the Brazilian tour groups are in town -- what's the difference? Maybe the OP was more concerned about crowd level than anything else. I have yet to see people getting flamed because they don't want The Sopranos at the park they same time they're going.

And a drag queen parade at Disney could only be amusing...
