ORLANDO, Fla. — For Pride Month, Disney World has added themed photo backdrops at its four theme parks.
Each backdrop features the word “love,” and is themed to the park in which it is located.
At Magic Kingdom, the photo opportunity was added to the park’s popular purple wall in Tomorrowland near the Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant. The design is in the shape of Mickey Mouse ears, and features Pride colors along with the word “love” in the corner.
The Pride-themed photo backdrop at Epcot is on the side of the Imagination Pavilion.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the photo op is near the Muppets section of the park. It’s of Pride-themed balloons, with center ballon featuring the word “love.”
A Pride-themed photo op is also at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The artwork is on a set of brown gates near Tiffins Restaurant and features the word “love” with a silhouette of Mickey Mouse in rainbow colors.
In addition to the photo backdrops, Disney has also rolled out limited-time treats and merchandise across the resort to celebrate Pride Month. Beyond the park, there are also themed treats and merchandise at Disney Springs.
Disney previously said that 100% of profits from its Pride Collection sales this month will be donated LGBTQ+ organizations such as GLSEN, PFLAG, The Trevor Project and the Zebra Coalition.
In recent months, Disney has taken a more vocal stance in support of LGBTQ+ causes.
Earlier this year, the company was criticized for its initial response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation. After the bill passed, Disney CEO Bob Chapek publicly addressed the legislation, saying at the time that the company opposed the bill from the outset.
