Downtown Orlando was vibrant in color, smiles and PRIDE this past weekend as hundreds of Walt Disney World cast members and allies across Central Florida walked together in the annual Come Out With Pride parade in Downtown Orlando.
Including Mikey Mouse, they honored the contributions, cultures and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community while raising funds for local organizations who are actively making a difference for this incredible community.
This event brings thousands of local LGBTQIA+ members and allies together each year to celebrate the contributions, cultures and experiences of the community while also raising money for incredible organizations making a real difference in Central Florida.
“Participating in Orlando’s Come Out With Pride parade is our opportunity as cast members to come together and show Disney’s commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community,” said Michael Teplansky, Disney PRIDE employee resource group leader. “Disney is a place where all are welcome, and it was amazing celebrating the joining of my fellow cast members, family and allies who represent a rich diversity of background"
