The 2017 Gay Days at Disneyland are set to take place Friday, October 6 to Sunday, October 8. For its 20th year, the event is expected to attract more than 30,000 LGBT park-hoppers from California and all over the country. They will enjoy Disneyland in a way that it can only be experienced during Gay Days.
Friday’s highlights include WONDERLAND, a dance party with DJ Ray Rhodes (Tiger Heat, KBIG 104.), and featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race favorite Alyssa Edwards. The event runs from 9:00pm–1am at its brand new location, Rumba Room Live at the Anaheim Garden Walk. Tickets are $25 and are available now.
Saturday, October 7 will be Gay Day at Disneyland, which includes a full day of activities in the park and culminates with KINGDOM, the weekend’s signature dance party with music from renowned DJ Roland Blemares and special performances by Todrick Hall and RuPaul stars Morgan McMichaels, Chad Michaels and Delta Work. KINGDOM will be held at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney from 9pm–1:30am. Tickets are $50 and include free game play of the ESPN Zone’s multitude of games for the first hour.
Saturday will also feature Miss Coco Peru, bringing her singular bitchiness back to Gay Days in her new show, The Taming of the Tension. Tickets are $35.
Sunday, October 2 will be Gay Day at Disney’s California Adventure and the Gay Days Anaheim pool party, PLUNGE! from noon until 4:00 p.m. at the Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel. DJ Zach Moos will be spinning while Mermaids splash around in the pool. Tickets are $25.
VIP ticket packages for the three parties are available now. VIP Gold tickets include access to an exclusive cocktail party with celebrity guests: Alec Mapa and Disney legend Bob Gurr.
Both days in the parks will feature gatherings only available over Gay Days weekend, including a scavenger hunt, a group photo, a lesbian ice cream social, group meet ups at varying attractions, and many more events targeted to families, teens, bears, couples and Mouseketeers of every ilk.

Other highlights of the weekend include free gift bags at the Gay Days Welcome Center (located inside the Trillium Room of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel), film screenings, and mixers.
Gay Days Anaheim is a “mix-in” with the park’s other weekend guests, but gays and lesbians are encouraged to wear red shirts in order to identify each other and to show strong numbers. Official T-shirts are available at the official Gay Days at Disneyland website.
