Lack of Interest: Disney World Gay Days Paused for 2026
A long-running Pride Month event known as "Gay Days" at Disney World has been placed on pause for 2026, with event organizers citing a sponsorship loss and other logistics challenges.
"After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause the GayDays Orlando event scheduled for June 2026," Gay Days event organizers announced on Sunday.
"Changes to our host hotel agreement, the loss of key sponsorship support, and broader challenges currently impacting LGBTQIA+ events nationwide made it impossible to deliver the experience our community deserves," they added.
Organizers went on to insist, in a ChatGPT-esque banality, "This is a pause - not an ending," expressing hope for a future return to the park.
"For more than 30 years, GayDays has been built by and for our community," they said. "Our focus now is on reimagining the future and returning with a stronger, more sustainable event."
