Disney is magical to many, but they haven’t always been known as the most woke and forward-thinking company. Now, for the first time, they are hosting a Pride celebration.

According to NBC News, Disneyland in France regularly throws an unofficial “Magical Pride” event to celebrate their LGBTQ fam. Now, for the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, they will be making the event official. On June 1, there will be a Pride parade, special meet-and-greets, and rides that stay open later.

Grab your passports and tickets now, because this is going to be a summer to remember.
