Celebrate Pride Month at EPCOT
June has arrived, and Walt Disney World is celebrating Pride Month with vibrant installations, photo opportunities, and exclusive merchandise across the resort. At EPCOT, guests can once again experience the return of one of the most popular and visually striking photo backdrops of the season: the Spaceship Earth Pride mural.
Whether you are looking to snap the perfect family photo, pick up the latest Pride apparel, or explore how Disney is highlighting inclusivity this year, here is everything you need to know about celebrating Pride at EPCOT and beyond.
The Spaceship Earth “LOVE” Mural
Located just outside the entrance of Connections Cafe in World Celebration, the beloved Spaceship Earth rainbow mural has officially returned. Because of its prime location near the front of the park, it is highly accessible and requires no extra navigating to find.
This design is incredibly detailed and thoughtfully crafted. It features the top portion of the iconic Spaceship Earth sphere with its classic geometric patterns reflecting a spectrum of colors. Above the geodesic dome, heart-shaped stripes represent the Progress Pride flag. This inclusion is significant as it incorporates the traditional rainbow alongside black and brown stripes representing people of color in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the pink, light blue, and white colors of the transgender flag. The word “LOVE” is written in the classic geometric EPCOT font across the center of the display.
To make the experience even better, Disney PhotoPass photographers are frequently stationed in front of the mural throughout the day, making it easy to capture high-quality photos of your entire travel group.
