One Magical Weekend
About This Event
One Magical Weekend takes over Orlando for a weekend in June with a slew of LGBTQ+ parties. It started as a Pride celebration at Walt Disney World, according to Watermark Out News. The event's operator, Pineapple Healthcare, Inc. dba One Magical Weekend, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
The Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort was the host hotel in 2026. Each day, pool parties kicked off at noon and wrapped up in the early evening. At night, the action shifted to ticketed main parties and Cadabra after-hours - eleven parties in total.
RipTide is the main event, an after-dark party at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park. It's 18 and over, running from 8pm to 2am. You can buy tickets per party or as a pass, but prices change annually.
In 2026, RipTide went down on 5 June, with the weekend wrapping up on 8 June. Next year's dates are set for 3 to 7 June 2027. The organiser also hosts events outside of June, like an official Orlando Pride after-party on 17 October 2026.
