I'm right there with you. I haven't enjoyed the behaviors I've seen during Gay Days, and neither have my children, so I avoid those days. Now I'll never know when they're having a "wedding" ceremony.
If DH's older kids want to go for a trip, that'll be our last one. If they say no, we won't be back.
I'm really regretting the Disney stock I just bought.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I just don't get how this announcement can make anyone want to boycott the fun of Disney just because Disney has decided for whatever reason they are going to continue their push to be fully inclusive and diverse.
A same-sex commitment ceremony is NOT a public Disney function, and if you don't have an invitation, the odds of you walking up to the castle for the 12 minutes that the ceremony might last are SO small I doubt it would ever happen. But, I guess to each their own.

This is where people get confused.
This policy will NOT make everyday at Disney GAY days.
Its a private ceremony, you will probably NOT be invited. You wont have any "behaviors" to observe and not enjoy.
Go to Disney World and relax with the idea that Disney is not going to discriminate against anyone, which frankly, is something we should all be teaching our children anyway.

Just what I was thinking. Who cares? Let people have recommitment ceremonies on their 10th anniversaries (also NOT marriages, as they are already married) -- Let people get engaged, have a special family event ... WHATEVER! Who cares what the other guy is doing -- chances are, you wont even notice that anything is going on! If the article wasn't printed, I doubt anyone would have noticed. I honestly wouldn't have thought that same sex couples couldn't have the ceremony in the first place...

I'm with everyone else on this...you are never going to be able to walk down a street in America, and be assured that you or your kids won't see something that offends someone...so does that mean you won't go outside anymore? I sure hope not. Personally, I am very genuinely offended by low-rise jeans (when did partial public nudity slip in to "socially acceptable" status?), but I don't expect those jeans to become illegal, or part of some underground and unseen society, so I just have to deal with it.
I completely respect everyone's views on this topic, though. As a Lutheran, this is a very hot topic of debate in my every day life (especially on Sundays). But I don't think this decision actually changes anything. I, like WDWacky, assumed they already allowed this, and this post only surprised me in that aspect. It was a business decision, and that's all. Just like the benefits decision years ago.

It's not really about me noticing anything or being up close and personal with a "commitment ceremony"; it's just about right and wrong. It's about being at Disneyworld and my conscience being burdened.
Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

I fully expect this to have the same damaging effects to Disney as allowing gay marriage has had here in Massachusetts.
In other words, absolutely none at all. Life has gone on just like before.
I think that if there's any anger at Disney for this, it will be mostly short lived and just like gay marriage in Massachusetts, unless you're directly involved as a gay person, or friend or family of one, pretty soon people will just forget to notice that Disney is allowing this.
KUNGALOOSH FOREVER!!

Okay folks ... I think we've gotten all out of this thread that we can at this point.
This is just one of those topics that people will never agree on, so further debate is pointless. Let's move on.
