Im Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

[PRINCESSplazola]

so i dont have much time for a TR, but here's a little something...

thursday was great! we got there around noon, and the park wasnt so packed. we didnt wait more than 10 min in any line fall decorations were amazing, and i looooved all the pumpkins and candycorn!!

friday was a little more crowded, but nothing too bad. it was kinda empty until around 1pm or so....

friday night was MTOT!! ahhhhh that was soooo much fun!! we got TONS of candy...like 7 bags full lol lots of dancing (my son got down! lol) and lots of great pics. rides were empty, we just walked on TOT!! we had a great time and cant wait for next years party!!

now for saturday.....ugh. gay days....nothing what i expected. DL was more crowded than i have ever seen it, so we left to DCA and it wasnt so bad. crowds werent the problem though...

i have to say that i was furious most of that day i have nothing against people who are gay, but some people were totally innapropriate. i saw grown men in tiny little shorts with their butt hanging out SERIOUSLY, and getting touched by other men. men kissing and feeling up on each other in front of us and tons of other kids. it was waaaaay beyond innocent kissing; they needed to get a room. and the t-shirts....OMG. one guys shirt saying 'i have a big [you know what]' and others that were waaaaay worse. i was so freaking pissed. im sorry, with all the children around, this should not be allowed at DL. i know many other parents were really upset too. i will definitely complain to disney about this.

so we went back to DL at night, saw the amazing fireworks, and didnt ride anything b/c it was too packed. did lots of shopping though!

sunday morning, went to DL and upgraded to a passport. woo! haha ill have pics and more info later i promise!! and if you have any questions, please ask!!

[audrabolster]

I think that is one of the risks you take if you decide to take your family vacation during gay days...

And as for short shorts, well, I've seen plenty of too short shorts and skirts on girls in the park, why can't guys have them too? And the PDA- UGH. I don't like seeing ANYONE making out in public. There is a time and place for it, and I don't want to see it!

 

[Mom of three]

Im so happy to hear you had a wonderful time. Can't wait to see pics and hear all about it!

I cannot believe the nerve of some people...seriously. I would have been ticked. You would think someone would have said something to them about their shirts!!! Thats just wrong on so many different levels. Sorry you had to endure such crap.

 

[heatherleigh]

I'm glad you had such a good time! I look forward to reading your report and seeing the pics.

 

[Krissy Marissy]

Straight or gay they should not be allowed to wear that stuff in the park. Seriously not cool on sooooo many levels! But glad you had a good time and cant wait for pics!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

I'm glad you had a great time!!! WOO FOR APs!!!!

Man, that sucks about the PDA you saw this weekend. We went to Gay Days last year and I didn't see anything close to what you saw... I'm sorry you did though..

Can't wait for more pics!!!

 

[bonita_babe232]

Yea i didn't notice anything like that last year either... i probley woulda been po'd if i had!!!! just cause i don't need my son reading about someones d**k!! or seeing short skirts shorts male or female! i mean hes just starting to read wouldn't that be something he would read it would loud and be like OMG mommy blh blh blh???? lol just imagine

I don't think most people plan to take their family vacation during gay days, it just happens. This is not something that Disney advertises to the general public. Most people aren't on the DIS. I did not know about it before we ended up there last year on Sunday at California Adventure, and I have an AP. Unlike the OP, we did not see inappropriate behavior and I did not even realize it was Gay Days until halfway through the day. I don't think my kids, 11, 8 and 5 at the time, even noticed. We were even thinking about going today as it worked with our schedule, until we heard about the birthday party for Miley Cyrus, so we didn't want to deal with the early closing and extra people. I thought Disney had rules about inappropriate language on clothing, so those types of t-shirts should not have been allowed, whether on a straight or gay person. I would have been really mad about that too. I agree on the excessive PDA - I don't like to see it from anyone either! And I've seen plenty of inappropriately revealing clothing on girls and women, even moms!

 

[Lights_Out]

I'm gay, but those inappropriate types of gays really get on my nerves

I wouldn't care if they acted like that in some 18+ night club, but this is Disneyland for pete's sake... and just because it's Gay Days doesn't mean there aren't any kids around.

I agree with the person that said it shouldn't matter if you're gay or straight.
Manners are manners & morals are morals.

Some people need to learn what decency is.

You wanted the Cheaper tickets.

Did you not know to avoid GAY DAYS with children in tow?? This is your fault for buying the Gay Day tickets in the 1st place when you have children you are taking to DL!! Gay Days are for the Gay Convention and their chance to go enjoy DL as Gay People 1 week end of the year.

If you saw more than you wanted, you are at fault. And knew what might happen. So, don't blame the Gays. For your mistakes. You wanted the Cheaper tickets.

I don't really agree with you. Granted, the people on this board may have been aware of Gay Days, but I know there has to be plenty of people who had no clue. I have lots of posts on this board and was only aware of it last week as there were threads started about it. That's how much it concerns me. I didn't even know when it was. There are also folks that don't know about fastpass, ps or MMs. It was also Miley Cyrus Birthday so there were alot of young children in attendance. It was also MTOT time
Now I truly believe that every one has their right to personal freedoms and liberties. BUT... everyone, gay or straight should practice a certain decoram in public. Gay or straight- no obsene shirts, clothes that do not fit properly. (just because they make it in your size does not mean you have to wear it), foul language and above all, PDA of the gay and straight variety.
Gay Days is not a Disney sponsered event. Anyone can enjoy Disney any time of year. Disney does not say "all gays welcome and have as much nooky as you want in line for Alice. Make the Storybook boats your personal bed" just as they do not say all heteros "have at it". I am straight but my DH and I never flaunt our "rights" of straightness by groping each other in front of children. I have lots of gay friends who have children and I can assure you they do not approve of that type of behavior from anyone either, regardless of their persuasion.
If a gay person feels they need to express their "freedom" only once a year, I feel sad for them. If you want to be more liberated then do what others do. Go to adult only beaches. Go on a cruise that has adult only decks. Go to a resort that is adult only. That way ALL parents have the heads up to keep their children away. I am offended that some on this board would presume that this is a gay straight thing. In my opinion, it is more of what we as parents (gay or straight) have to deal with every day. It's hard enough to teach our children to read let alone explaining why that guy has his hand on that girl's chest or why that man has his hand on that man's rear.
With the MTOT party selling out on certain days thus leaving those who wanted to attend limited options AND the Miley Cyrus thing, I think it is unfair to say that the folks who went this weekend should have known better. The folks, gay or straight who acted like such fools should have known better and saved that type of activity for after hours 18 and older clubs. Gay days or not, straight or not, teenagers or not, this type of behavior is not appropriate in public. It is definatley not appropriate at Disney

We actually changed our plans and left on Saturday instead of Sunday. We have a 7 yo who now reads everything and I did not know how much explaining I would need to do.

However, we went into the park for like 3 hours when the park opened. I saw many gay families. What where they supposed to do. Where they not supposed to bring their children either.

The park was open to all people, not just for the Gay Days convention. There were regular park hopper tickets sold for these days as well, not just the cheaper Gay Days tickets. Most people would not even have known it was Gay Days unless they saw it posted on an info board or were looking for it specifically....


On another note - I'm glad you had fun at the MTOT party! I would love to see pics - we're going on the 17th (which is also sold out!) and we just cannot wait!!

I don't really agree with this. Gay days or not, people need to know how to act properly in public. Just because it's a weekend to be out and proud, you don't need to dress innapropriately, or act inappropriately.

 

[NicksMommy]

I have a question, kinda off topic but why does Disney even have gay days??? Are the other days called straight days????

 

[mariezp]

Glad you had a good trip, except for Saturday.

I's not an official Disney event, it is organized through a separate group.

 

[Jackoman]

Glad to hear you had a fun time. I agree with everyone else; people need to know how to act in public.
