Private Place for Gay Couple to Kiss?

[Mousequake]

I've got the perfect private place for you to sow your love and affection for each other: anywhere in Disneyland.

Just remember that everyone's on camera everywhere. Even in the doombuggies. And you might be in the back of "your" boat on POTC or iasw, but you're in front of the people in the next boat behind you.

Not so private after all....

I love the supportive answers you've received and just want to add that I'm sorry you even feel like you need to ask this question.

If my family has the opportunity to spend our vacation in the parks at the same time as such a considerate person like you happens to be, I would be honored. And my husband and I would happily explain to our children that love is never wrong if they saw you kiss or hold hands. Not that they would ask since they've grown up around my cousin and his partner, I just mean to say it wouldn't phase any of us in the least.

I hope you enjoy a magical time in the parks together.

Mugglemama is so right though. Serious, serious issues.

Oh believe me obviouslyy I know! I still remembered when I was 10 years old and riding the doombuggies when my 9 year old cousin in the other doombuggy with my brother was trying to get my attention by throwing pennies at me when a voice from the sky told my cousin to stay in their seat and to stop throwing objects! Being in the Hauted Mansion was freaky enough so to have this voice out of nowhere made my cousin turn white lol. My mother and aunt in the other buggy was NOT happy lol. To this day I still laugh about it!

And you make out during the really dark scenes in the boat rides!

It's a little area by the matterhorn. Basically just a large patio with tables and chairs by the water. It's usually pretty secluded.

This thread legitly made me happy to see all the positive responses. Honestly, 99.9% of the people in the parks are not going to complain about a gay couple giving a quick kiss or holding hands. There is though the .01 % that will flip their lid over any pda from any couple gay or straight. Wife and I were in line for AIW with another friend and her fiancee one time. He gave her a peck on the lips and this lady just flipped out on them screaming that there are children around

So yes, go to Disney, have fun, and most importantly, be yourselves.

I am not a fan of tonsil hockey or groping, but holding hands or a quick kiss? My kids wouldn't bat an eye and neither would we. BTW, that's for any kind of couple, gay straight or otherwise.

I am so happy to read all of the replies. I read every single one! Everyone was so supportive and I am so grateful for that. Thank you so much!

My boyfriend and I are going to Disneyland sometime in the future (near future, I hope), and we want to know where appropriate places to hold hand and stuff are. It's a family environment and many people don't think of gay couples as "family friendly". We don't have to experience weird looks or bigotry from other guests, so we want a private place to show affection. And nothing more than hand holding and maybe a kiss or two. Anything more than that belongs at the hotel. I've been to Disneyland 5 times before, but I can't recall any private places. Besides on rides like Peter Pan, the most private I can think of is Snow White's Wishing Well but even that gets frequent visitors. Any help?

I think the fact that you are asking for a private place shows that you are thoughtful and respectful of others. That being said, I don't think you need to find a private place for just a peck and hand holding. That isn't really PDA to me. A peck here and there and hand holding seems to be pretty standard couples behavior and personally would not offend me at all- gay or straight. If someone is offended by two men or two women showing normal affection for each other than that is their problem! Just keep it minimal like you described (not because you are gay, but because groping each other in pubic is just rude!!).
Now, some quieter places, if you want to have a brief romantic moment (I say brief because nothing stays empty for long at DL)...Snow White's wishing well at the right time can be empty, dark rides (I would think especially HM or Little Mermaid because you are in your own ride vehicle), and we find that the top back section of the Hungry Bear is usually pretty quiet. DH and I think the best place to act more like a couple and less like two crazed parents chasing three kids is sitting on a bench on Main Street, holding hands and eating ice cream.
Enjoy yourself and don't worry too much about what others think! You'll have a great time!

DH and I honeymooned in Disneyland. We determined on the first day that since boats are romantic, they are kissing places.

A bridge, like a boat, goes over water, therefore it is also a kissing place.

A pier is really just half a bridge, so it's a kissing place, but a quick one.

A car, plane, bobsled, mine car or flying elephant is, like a boat, a means of travel and therefore...

...You get the idea?

I agree. The "get a room" scenes from any couple is not acceptable IMO. However, I Probably wouldn't even notice casual signs of affection. Just another two some enjoying the parks.

Disney is a hate-free zone. If visitors complain to CMs that, for example, a gay couple is holding hands waiting for the parade on Main Street, the CM will point that out, and if the person complaining gets angry about it, too bad. Of course, no one, gay or straight, should be making out like they're in private or being physically lewd, so to speak (things that happen on Grad Nights notwithstanding), but you don't have any need to find an "appropriate place" to hold the hand of or kiss the one you love in a moment of magic at Disneyland (or any other Disney park.) The entire park is your appropriate place. That's how Disney rolls. And if it weren't, they'd run afoul of California law anyway.

Uh.. okay... kissing in the park? Let's see, I have seen/witnessed/observed people kissing in front of the main street train station/mickey flowerbed(just inside the turnstiles) while friends took pictures. People kiss at the top of the stairs going to the main street train station, in front of city hall, in the middle of main street after park opening, in the middle of main street during fireworks, in front of the castle, in the castle. Do I need to go on? Like many others have said; where ever you feel like it.

I agree. The "get a room" scenes from any couple is not acceptable IMO.

ITA; I was at DL several years ago; DS was maybe 9? We were walking past the area opposite the Dole Whip stand at the entrance to Adventureland and this teenage couple were TOTALLY sucking face. As I passed them I said "Get a room!" They stopped and both of them started giggling. DS didn't hear me and only saw them stop and giggle and he demanded to know what I said to get that reaction out of two strangers. I said there's a time and place for everything.

For somewhere quiet, maybe the Toontown train station late at night? The courtyards in New Orleans square; and someone already said the downstairs dining area at the Hungry Bear Restaurant. Have fun on your trip!
