Disney Springs Is Celebrating and Donating to the LGBTQ+ Community This June

Pride Month at Walt Disney World has been building across the resort since June 1, and most of the coverage has focused on what is happening inside the theme parks. The Spaceship Earth rainbow mural at EPCOT. The Mickey Balloons photo op at Hollywood Studios. The Pride Slushy at Magic Kingdom. All of it is real, and all of it is worth finding during a June park visit. But Disney Springs is doing something this month that deserves its own conversation, and the detail that makes it stand apart from the park-based celebrations is not a photo op or a themed beverage. It is where the money is going.

Three Restaurants Are Donating to The Trevor Project

The Edison, Maria and Enzo's Ristorante, and Enzo's Hideaway have partnered with Dos Hombres Tequila to create three specialty Pride Month cocktails available throughout June. A portion of the proceeds from every purchase of these cocktails will be donated to The Trevor Project, the organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ young people across the United States.

The cocktails differ in flavor profile and presentation. The Cranstonian is a bold red drink made with Dos Hombres Mezcal, cranberry juice, fresh lime, and Aperol, finished with a chili salt rim. The Passionfruit Margarita is a yellow blend of Dos Hombres Tequila, triple sec, Chinola passionfruit liqueur, and fresh lime juice, served with a Tajin-dipped ice cube. The Honeydew Smash is a green cocktail featuring Midori Melon Liqueur, Dos Hombres Mezcal and Tequila, fresh lime juice, agave, and honeydew chunks, rimmed with chili salt and garnished with fresh honeydew.

Three cocktails at three restaurants. All of them are directing funds to an organization that provides real, meaningful support to LGBTQ+ young people in crisis. For guests who want to celebrate Pride Month at Disney Springs in a way that goes beyond photography and merchandise, these three restaurants are the places to go this June.

The Photo Op

The Love photo op has returned to Disney Springs and is installed in a planter bed across from LACOSTE in the shopping district. The installation spells out the word Love in black letters outlined in white with a Mickey Mouse silhouette inside the letter O, filled with the rainbow stripes of the Progress Pride flag. The Progress Pride flag incorporation means the photo op represents the full breadth of the LGBTQ community, including people of color and transgender individuals, rather than just the original six-color rainbow.

The photo op is accessible without park admission which makes it one of the most accessible Pride Month installations at the entire Walt Disney World resort. No ticket. No reservation. Just show up at Disney Springs and find it across from LACOSTE.

Erin McKenna's Bakery

Erin McKenna's Bakery, the allergy-friendly bakery at Disney Springs, has Pride-themed treats available throughout June. For guests with dietary restrictions who want to participate in the Pride Month food offerings at Disney Springs without the allergy concerns that most bakery items involve, this is the option worth knowing about. Erin McKenna's has built its reputation around making delicious baked goods accessible to guests who cannot eat at most standard bakeries, and the Pride Month treats extend that inclusive philosophy into the June celebration.

Entertainment and Merchandise at Disney Springs

Betties, an acoustic duo featuring performers Lisa Robertson and Jean Stewart, is performing at Waterview Park with cover songs from the past six decades. It is described as a feel-good musical experience and provides a relaxed outdoor option for guests who want to spend time at Disney Springs this month without the intensity of a theme park day.

Pride merchandise designed by members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community is available throughout Disney Springs. Disney has described the collection as dreamed up and designed by community members for community members, which reflects an intent to make the merchandise feel like a genuine representation rather than corporate participation.

The Bigger Picture

Walt Disney World is celebrating Pride Month across EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and now Disney Springs in a way that is more comprehensive than a single photo op or a rainbow color overlay on existing content. The Trevor Project donations at three Disney Springs restaurants are the element of the 2026 Pride Month programming that makes the celebration meaningful beyond the visual.

Every cocktail purchase at The Edison, Maria and Enzo's, or Enzo's Hideaway this June supports crisis support for LGBTQ+ young people.

That is worth knowing before you plan your Disney Springs evening this month.
