Annual Disneyland goth day this August

By Cory Doctorow at 7:59 am Saturday, Jun 24

Bats Day in the Fun Park is the annual, unauthorized goth day at Disneyland. The eighth of these is coming up this August, and has metastasized into a weekend-long festival with a conference hotel, music, and a "black market" selling gothy stuff. The event culminates with a mass riding of the Haunted Mansion and a group photo of hundreds -- thousands? -- of goths posing with the Mansion. I'm moving to LA in about three weeks, so I'll actually be a local when the next one of these rolls around. I'm really going to try to make it this year.

Is there any kind of dress code?

You can dress to impress, but keep in mind that it may be very hot that day. From our previous trips we found out that Disney will not allow capes or fishnet stocking, on guys, to be worn into the park. You can try to wear them in, but keep in mind that you may be asked to take them off and place them back in you car. One of the main reasons that there is a dress code is due to the fact that Disney does not want anyone from the regular visitors mistaken any of us as one of their characters or cast members.
