More than 30 Disney characters along with a pair of openly gay superheroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe will make meet-and-greet appearances this week during the first Pride Nite at Disneyland.
The first-ever after-hours Pride Nite events will be held at the Anaheim theme park on Tuesday, June 13 and Thursday, June 15.
