- This month, Disneyland Paris joined in a global effort to recognize, engage and raise awareness on LGBTQ+ topics as part of the resort’s ongoing efforts to foster a culture of inclusion, where everyone is welcome.
- Kicking things off on June 1st was the Pride dance challenge where guests submitted their own attempts at recreating a choreographed video to the exclusive new song, “Around the World.”
- Guests at the resort and on shopDisney could purchase this year’s exciting Rainbow Disney Collection merchandise as a way to show their support in style.
