Aside from Pride Night, new merchandise items in the Disney Pride Collection debuted in May. They’re available throughout all of Disneyland Resort, including Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney District, as well as at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and online via Disney Store.
