The company unveiled special Pride-motif Mickey Mouse Rainbow Love ears for Pride 2018. If you feel like you’re recalling other Pride-focused events and marketing stunts from Disney franchises in the past, you’re not exactly wrong. Though the entertainment lineup is still in the cryptic early states, Disneyland Paris’ website promises an illuminated parade, special after-hours park access (including lots of rides) til 2am, and - please remember that these are their words, not mine - a “stunning dance party featuring some artists dropping some banging beats.” (Cue this gif.) The park is located 20 miles from Paris, and tickets start around $90USD (children under the age of 3 can get in free). Magical Pride will take place on June 1, kicking off the month-long Pride festivities. This summer, Disneyland Paris will host its first official Pride event, becoming the first of Disney’s many theme parks to hold an event of any kind openly celebrating the LGBTQ community.
