‘Calls for LGBT travel have grown considerably in recent years,’ said Andy Beard, managing director of Greatdays Holidays who started Magical Pride.
‘With this market comes a great sense of pride and community, and these values influenced the creation of the event that is now known as Magical Pride.
‘We are thrilled with how the event has grown and developed over the past few years, and for an organization as iconic as Disney to now be supporting and hosting Magical Pride themselves is amazing.’
