June is Gay Pride Month, a yearly celebration of equality and visibility for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Started with a single NYC march in 1970 to commemorate the Stonewall riots, LGBTQ Pride month has evolved into a month-long global event. (For more information on pride, check out the GLAAD website!)
With so many incredible members of the LGBTQ community being stand-out Disney content creators, we’re highlighting these individuals for the entire month of June (find our first feature here!). Let’s check out a fresh crop of creators that inspire us!
@Eric.Disney
“Dreamy Disneyland Paris Mainstay”
SPECIALTIES: Capturing Magical Moments
You’ll find Eric snapping magical photo ops in absolutely every corner of Disneyland Paris. A DLP InsidEars Ambassador, Eric has an incredible gift for capturing special Disney moments in pictures! His adorable snaps often feature the park’s many princes, princesses, and characters (we need a hug from Chewbacca THAT BIG too!). Eric reminds us what it’s like to be a kid again! We love his eye for fashion, picture-perfect snaps, and Aladdin obsession. Find him on Instagram @Eric.Disney.
@OliviaWithTheLand
“The pastel princess”
Specialties: Buckets of COLOR
Need to brighten up your feed? Meet Olivia! Her Instagram account captures fun-filled trips to Walt Disney World with Olivia donned in all shades of the rainbow. We absolutely love her head-to-toe color forward aesthetic! A touch retro, a whole lot of bold prints, and even more sets of ears than we can count, Olivia certainly earns her self donned title of the “Pastel Princess.” And did we mention her signature eye shadow? Sign us up for makeup lessons! Follow her @OliviaInTheLand on Instagram or check out her Etsy shop here.
@MichaelDoesDisney
“The Marathon Smiler”
Specialties: Contagious smiles
Some people just have smiles that instantly make you grin when you see ’em. Michael has one those smiles….times 50! If he isn’t serenading you with a Disney song in his stories, he’s likely off clocking in some serious miles for the next RunDisney Marathon. Michael’s energy seems almost limitless, and will most certainly spark joy in your day. Where does it all come from?… The caffeine from Starbucks?… Some weird fountain of energy found only on the beach in Florida? Let us in on your secret, Michael! Find him @MichaelDoesDisney on Instagram or on his recently launched website.
