On Monday, Disney tweeted about hosting the first-ever “Pride Nite” at its California theme park, as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continued to criticize the Sunshine State’s entertainment giant.

The conflict then got worse after DeSantis, 44, removed the long-standing autonomy of the House of Mouse and established a new board to run Disney World.

When DeSantis promised to thwart Disney’s attempts to get around government regulation on Monday, the conflict heated up even more.

The Disneyland Park in California will host Pride Nite on June 13 and 15.

The specifically ticketed event officially begins each night at 9 p.m., after the park shuts to regular admission attendees. Guests attending Pride Nite can access the park as early as 6 p.m., similar to previous after-hours activities.
