2016 Gay Days at WDW - 26th Anniversary!

Sorry to hear that u won't be able to attend this year, Misty.
Only four months to go! Woots! I am soooo ready for it to get here!

I'm with you, FarCityGuy. SO ready for this year. Last year was my first time going and I mostly just stuck to the parks. Looking forward to going to the parks and some of the parties this year!

As of right now, I have 106 more days until check-in. I can't wait until the booking window opens-up for my FastPass+ reservations. My partner and I check into Disney's BoardWalk Villas on Friday May 27th. This will be our fourth visit during Gay Days. I'm excited for a number of reasons. This year, the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival ends it's run on May 30th. That's perfect because we'll get to take in the last Garden Rocks Concert(s) on Saturday and Sunday where I'll enjoy drinking the refreshing Schofferhofer Grapefruit Beer that is served in the Germany Pavilion. That stuff is real good! If all goes as planned, we'll get to experience the all new Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Finger's crossed that the show will be open. I can't wait to take-in Disney's Animal Kingdom at night! I hear the evening ambiance is amazing. Last year, at the Magic Kingdom, we stumbled upon the tastiest mac and cheese at the Friar's Nook. We'll definitely be stopping there for lunch! I'm concerned about the limited attractions that will be available at Disney's Hollywood Studios but if the finished product is anything like Disney California Adventure 2.0, it'll will be worth the wait! Anyone else stoked about the Main Event taking place at Disney's Hollywood Studios? This year, we won't be buying the VIP Pass for Riptide at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon waterpark. A few years back, the rules were changed to prevent drinks from being taken out of the VIP area. I'd like to enjoy my adult beverage while standing in front of the DJ with my toes in the water so this year, I guess we'll be buying each drink. We're looking forward to making new friends during our annual Monorail Crawl. Last year, we took some crazy group photos on the Monorail. We're going to try something new this year at the Walt Disney World Swan because we just found out that Kimonos has karaoke! After all of those late nights, we'll relax and sooth our hangover while floating along Cross Country Creek at Disney's Blizzard Beach waterpark. I hope I don't get sneezed on! Our flight home isn't until Monday June 6th so if you're also visiting during Gay Days and you want to make new friends reach-out to me. See ya real soon!

Cool deal! Whether I come with friends or solo, I always have a great time! Some of the parties are awesome, and some are ok. But, everybody always seems to be ready to party and just have a good time.

I'll definitely post more details about everything closer to the "crawl". Were you there last year?

I'm hoping that the Frozen ride opens at Epcot before we all get down there. Would like top get a FastPass+ on that one to avoid the inevitable long lines. How awesome! I already bought my VIP ticket for the Main Event. More so got it for the special area that they said they're gonna announce than the drinks. Planning on going to Deep at Epcot too but will likely skip Riptide. Always looking to make new friends and I LOVE that you're counting down the days. <3

That's good to hear. I love anything with a theme so I'm pretty excited about Deep's aquatic theme. Already pulling together an outfit for it. :) Also just really excited to see what it's like to party in the parks.

Nope. Missed out last year because we didn't fly in until the Thursday morning after the crawl on Wednesday night. This year, I was able to move up my flight a day earlier. So, I fly in on Wednesday morning this year.

I forgot about Frozen Ever After! Maybe now they'll do away with the tier system at Epcot (unlikely though). Let it Go or Test Track. Decisions....decisions.... When do you check-in?

That's cool you got a whole extra day!

Is Frozen Ever After going to be the name of the ride? I've heard about this tier system. What is it though? I know Test Track is one of my favorite Epcot rides. Actually I kind of love all of the Epcot Rides. I only haven't gotten on Mission Earth (I think its called) before because a friend got really sick on it when he went on. I want to try and brave it this year though. *fingers crossed* I check in on Thursday. In time for Animal Kingdom day. :)

I'm pretty sure that is going to be the name of the attraction. Here is a link that should provide you some information about FastPass+ and the tier system. http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/fastpass.htm

Thanks! FastPass+ I'm familiar with but I didn't realize there were certain rides that had to be chose in categories (I'm assuming that's the tier system). It worked out pretty smoothly for me last year. Hopefully it won't be too bad this year.

I wish all you guys and gals a great time. It is always fun, unfortunately I can not go this year. I am going on a 7 day Carnival cruise with friends this year, and budget doesn't allow for both. HAVE FUN, everybody!
