I don’t believe so, mostly a positive spirit, high energy, lots of rainbows. Stitch had a biker outfit, that was probably the most extreme thing I can think of

Does the Pride event have LGBTQ+ content or participants, or is it just Mickey's Colorful Rainbow Party? Would be nice if a portion of the ticket sales went to a local charity, or if the entertainment line up had performers from the community.

Is this a new up-charge event or first time? Nevermind, saw it's returning. Sounds like fun.

I don't even care about any of this but the fact only 3 of those are actually Disney Channel characters is crazy. Not even Phineas and Ferb despite there having been an upcoming new season. These parties are such a joke.

Or their IT department sucks. It isn't that hard to scale enough VMs to handle demand. They got to stop using that Commadore 64 to process tickets.

VJFeb 26, 2024

demand. disney has too much of it, knott's and universal don't have enough of it

CaptinEOFeb 26, 2024

Looks like these events are not selling out, at least yet. Crazy they took out the fireworks from all of these which was a major selling point.

PhroobarFeb 22, 2024

Seems strange that you have to wait 45 minutes to give Disney money. You should be able to just login and purchase tickets and be done in five minutes. It works that way for Halloween parties at Universal and Knotts. Why does Disney make it so hard to give them far too much money?

SSGFeb 21, 2024

Got mine for April 25th. It went pretty smooth and took about 45 minutes all in.

There was none this Morning that I saw. Some reported times bounced up and down but didnt really effect the overall wait. Might of been due to people logging on thinking they could get tickets queueing up then being denied. Following some groups and chats Seems longest waits where under an hour initially. But if you logged in after an hour it was a lot less. Currently only April 16 and 23rd available so they did limit how many tickets they released today. It was right around an hour that May the 2nd sold out.

SSGFeb 20, 2024

Anyone trying for tickets today? I have an Enchant, so my window is tomorrow, but was wondering if there were technical problems today.

At least they will "try" to keep ROTR open this year. It has not been open during previous Star Wars Nite. Ride some of the park’s most unforgettable Star Wars-themed attractions—including Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (subject to availability, which may vary and is not guaranteed) throughout the event, usually with shorter wait times.
