PHOTOS: 14 Events You Can't Miss at Gay Days Anaheim

With Halloween, October is always a great time to visit Disneyland. But this autumnal month is also when Gay Days Anaheim is staged, a three-day smorgasbord of events that range from wild to tame, and with everything in between. No one is left out of the fun: parents, kids, ladies, and bears all have parties and gatherings geared just for them (everyone should be wearing red though, as is the tradition). Here are the events we won't be missing on Friday and through the weekend:
