Walt Disney World Resort & Orlando
Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, FL 32830, United StatesThe original Gay Days — running every June since 1991, when the red-shirt tradition began at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The 2027 edition runs June 3–6: park days across Disney and Universal, host-hotel pool parties, a vendor expo, drag brunches, and nightly parties. Saturday, June 5 is the main red-shirt day at Magic Kingdom. Fan-run and unofficial — theme-park tickets are bought separately from Disney and Universal. (After a brief pause-and-reinstatement in early 2026, Gay Days is back on its normal footing for 2027.)
