Park officials do not recognize the event but treat it as “any other private event, such as a wedding held at the park,” according to Betsy Sanchez, a Disney public relations spokesperson.īoth days featured informal gatherings, such as a lesbian ice cream social at the California Adventure ice cream shop and a Ladies Who Lunch lesbian gathering at the Rancho Del Zocalo restaurant at Disneyland. Gay Days Anaheim is a 'mix-in' at the parks with other weekend guests, but gays and lesbians are encouraged to wear red shirts in order to identify each other and to show strong numbers. The unofficial celebration attracted more than 30,000 GLBT visitors according to Disney officials. It was a magical weekend for tens of thousands of lesbians and gay men from across the country at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure in Anaheim during the 12 th Annual Gay Days Anaheim on October 2 – 4.
