Another out of the ordinary event that occurred this weekend was what Disney likes to call one mighty party. This month is gay and lesbian pride month, as such, various gay and lesbian organizations get together for what is know as gay days. For about a week, I believe, gay and lesbian couples, singles, and family members from across the nation gather at Orlando’s attractions to celebrate gay pride. Participants are easily recognizable because they are all wearing red shirts. On Saturday night, all of the participating organizations grouped together to have a private party only for those who had purchased tickets at Disney’s MGM Studios. Highlights included musical acts & celebrities such as Cathy Griffin, who hosted “Lights, Motors, Action!” (An extreme stunt show). While I was not scheduled to work for this event, I do know of some who did and helped out during the fireworks for some extra cash. It must have turned out to be a very successful event because all Cast Members where asked to park at a different location to make room for all guests participating in the event.

On another note, on the opening day of hurricane season 2007, Florida was already victim to tropical depression Barry. While many of Orlando’s residents take advantage of the tax free hurricane supply week, all begin to prepare for the estimated above average hurricane season.
