RED SHIRT PRIDE Day at DISNEYLAND - SMWSLT

Let’s meet at Disneyland in California on June 3, 2023 for RED SHIRT PRIDE DAY AROUND THE WORLD to help spread the message of Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, Safe Expression and Kindness around the world. The KindRED Pride Foundation was inspired by a 30 year-long tradition which began when members of the LGBTQ community donned red shirts and visited Disney World Orlando on every first Saturday in June.*

We thought it would be fun to create our own gathering here in California to stand in solidarity with the East Coast folx during PRIDE MONTH. So put on your RED SHIRT and meet us at the ticket gates at 7:30am for entry. The park attractions open at 8am. Don’t feel like getting up early? There will be more opportunities to get together with the group throughout the day.

HERE'S THE SCHEDULE!
FYI: Parking Lots open 7a, Gates open at 7:30, Access to attractions 8am
*7:45am – 8 am Group Photo at the Flag Pole in the Plaza (look for the red shirts!) (we may hold until 8:15)
*11:00 am lunch at Rancho Del Zocalo in Frontierland
