Goth Day?

We were in the parks today and noticed a lot of Gothic people. We didn't think too much about it until around 8pm when we decided to make our way to the Haunted Mansion. There was a huge line of Gothic people backed-up to the New Orleans train station waiting to enter the Haunted Mansion! There was a photographer taking their pictures at the entrance. The cast members had two lines to accommodate the Goths and the non Goths. The non Goths entered through the fast pass line and thus entered the attraction quickly. It was all very interesting. We saw a lot of unique clothing and makeup. Does anyone know any history about this. Apparently there is a designated day?

What you experienced was Bat Days -- it's not a Disney Sponsored event, it's like Gay days -- just an advertised day for people to meet at the park. Disney is aware of the scheduling and accommodates the crowd size accordingly. If you would like more info you can Google "Bat Days Disneyland" and they do have an official website.

They've expanded this year.

For many years it was just one day
of a weekend, then later an entire weekend
and now it's an entire bat week.

Interesting. Back in the day, Disneyland refused to let us in if we had mohawks, crazy makeup, or too many piercings. I see things have changed!
