Share Your Pride at Walt Disney World Resort This June
In honor of Pride Month, we are taking the opportunity to
recognize and celebrate the contributions, culture, and experiences of the
LGBTQ+ community. We work every day to make Disney a place where everyone feels
they belong. Through our recent Disney
Look changes, we encourage all of our cast to bring their authentic selves
to work every day, and we hope our guests see their backgrounds and cultures
reflected in the experiences, stories, and offerings in our parks and resorts.
As we reflect on and celebrate the accomplishments and history of the LGBTQ+ community throughout the month of June, we can’t wait to spotlight the stories of some of our incredible cast members, and we’re proud of the collaborative initiatives taking place across Walt Disney World Resort on a number of ways you can show your support and Share Your Pride.
Art and Photography
At all four theme parks, Disney PhotoPass lets you Share Your Pride at Walt Disney World Resort with opportunities to create special photo memories, including a nighttime rainbow bokeh frame, rainbow magic swirl and floating rainbow magic shot, rainbow Mickey digital sticker, and fun graphics available for PhotoPass photos. For individualized Capture Your Moment photo sessions, you can choose from a rainbow Mickey or rainbow umbrella prop to include in your special moments. You can even Share Your Pride from home! Mobile phone wallpapers and virtual backgrounds are available to download through June.
At Disney Springs you’ll find murals celebrating Pride Month, as well as a new photo wall inspired by Love, Victor — a Hulu Original Series following Victor on his own journey of self-discovery with Season 2 premiering on June 11. The artwork is dispersed throughout Disney Springs, and the photo wall is located near Disney’s Days of Christmas.
You’ll be able to find our newly launched Pride collection at our Walt Disney World theme parks, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, resorts, and Disney Springs featuring our beloved brands and characters. The Pride collection includes apparel, accessories, pins, plush, and more, allowing everyone an array of ways to Share their Pride and bring their authentic selves to our parks and resorts every day. In addition, in celebration of Pride Month 2021, The Walt Disney Company is donating funds as part of our ongoing commitment to organizations around the world that support LGBTQ+ communities.
