Pride Nite June 16

[Pluto468]

Pride Nite was awesome. Everything was walk-on and crowds were great.

I went to DCA around 6 for dinner and did Monsters & Emotional Roller Coaster. I left for Disneyland at 8:30 and there were people streaming into DCA, I'm assuming it was busy over there.

Went to Disneyland and checked in for Pride Nite. They gave us cute lanyards and a bag of skittles gummies. After looking for Pride Merchandise I wandered over to Small World for the first cavalcade. It was hard to see because I'm short! But I did manage to catch the later showing at 11:00 and saw most of it.

One especially fun thing that happened was when I was heading for small world I saw a CM from Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique walking through the crowd and she was carrying a wand. I asked if she had Pixie Dust and she said yes! She had me make a wish and sprinkled me with pixie dust. It was a magical little moment.

After that I focused on rides and had the rainbow funnel cake from Stagedoor cafe.

I saw most of the characters but didn't bother standing in line to get photos with them.

Lots of music and rainbows and people dancing everywhere

I left around midnight. All in all a really fun evening!

I loved the fireworks, they were great! I wish Star Wars nite had them. I had a good time but probably won't do another.

ADDED: Just something I noticed that really warmed my heart...there were a lot of OLDER couples, and I'm talking my age (and if you want to know how old I am, go over to my BEST.TRIP.EVER report to see the pics)
These lovely couples (male and female) were openly walking arm in arm, hand in hand, stopping to admire something, then sharing a kiss, cuddling during fireworks...this would NOT have happened 50 years ago. Today, young people have the freedom to dress as they choose, be who they are, but it was not always this way. We must NEVER lose that freedom in this wonderful country of ours!

I think Disney is starting to lose interest in the special night parties, they have clearly overdone it. But I think the pride night will be around a long time.
