Bats Day: Goth Disneyland party

Cory Doctorow 9:52 am Tue Aug 13, 2002

Bats Day in the Fun Park is an annual, unofficial goth gathering at Disneyland, culminating with a 350+ person group shot and ride-through at the Haunted Mansion.

It was once told to me, what started out a small group of goofy creepy death rockers going to Disneyland, that has grown into its own institution, is just crazy and amazing. At the first official Bats Day, there was only about 90 people. At the second Bats Day, there was just over 200 people. The best thing is that everyone who goes to Bats Day can just leave all their cares and worries at the gate, and just have a fun time. May Bats Day in the Fun Park be around every year.
