  • Man Banned from Disney World After Holding Trump 2020 Sign on Splash Mountain

    Man Banned from Disney World After Holding Trump 2020 Sign on Splash Mountain

    A man who several weeks ago was banned from Disney World after hanging a huge Donald Trump 2020 banner in the Magic Kingdom has been banned — for a second time.

    Disney officials took away Don Cini’s annual pass back in September, after he posted a video of him waving a Trump 2020 banner over the Main Street Train Station. Disney reconsidered the position and allowed him to come back to the parks with the stipulation that he would not hang anymore flags.

    Now his latest political antics have gotten him banned — again. And this time permanently. Cini was captured holding a Trump 2020 banner on Splash Mountain. After, the ride picture came with more than the usual decorative boarder.  This one came with a note from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office saying that Cini trespassed and his conduct is not welcomed on Disney property.

    Cini says that after taking the picture, he was escorted off property and he is now banned from all Disney World properties, including the theme parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.

    A picture of Don Cini’s latest guerilla style political support shows him riding down Splash Mountain with a “Trump 2020” sign and on Expedition Everest, he held a “Keep America Great” sign.

    We spoke with Cini and asked him if he thought it was worth it. He said, “Yes, because I shouldn’t have been trespassed.” Cini is currently meeting with attorneys to find out what options are available to him. “I didn’t expect them to trespass I just wanted to get the picture,” Cini said.

    Disney has now permanently revoked his annual pass, which he says he had for 24 years. Disney’s park rules state that, “the usage of any flag, banner or sign to incite a crowd” is prohibited.

    VIDEO: Trump Re-Election Banner Hung In Magic Kingdom By Trump Supporter

    When you’re in Disney World, politics is the last thing you want to think about. Most people go there to unwind, escape and unplug, but one man this weekend took it upon himself to make a political statement on Main Street U.S.A in the Magic Kingdom at Disney World.

    Dion Cini, a New York man, snuck in a very large Tump Re-Election banner and hung it over the railing of the train station near the entrance to the park. According to Cini, there were hundreds of people taking pictures. “take pictures baby,” Cini shouted to onlookers. “Did you get pictures, he asks a guest. “Good I expect them to go viral tonight.”

    The banner reads, ‘Re-Elect Trump’ and ‘Keep America Great 2020.’ He claims the first time he has done this in Disney World and you can see him rolling out the banner in the video below:

    UPDATE: The Video has been removed from his Facebook Profile, but we were able to find it posted elsewhere on the internet.

    Trying to be a discrete as possible, Cini tells a man helping him to “Put it down, don’t let people see this.” Then when he feels the timing is right, he unveils the banner, telling his helper, who appears to be a random nearby guest that he just asked for help, “Throw it over and up” he says. “High as you can.”

    “I have a feeling security’s coming soon,” said Cini.  Moments later security approached. In all, the banner was hanging for about 60 seconds before Cini was asked to take it down.  Pictures of the incident aren’t exactly viral yet, but you can find a few posted on social media like the one below.

    We spoke with Cini about his display and found out that the mouse hasn’t been his only target. He has done it in many places including, Yankee Stadium, multiple broadway shows and all around Manhattan. When asked why he did it, “Viral advertising for my president.” he replied.

    Though he said security only asked him to take it down, he still made a quick exit and started actively hiding from them. He even made a pit stop in the restroom to change hats as he exited the park, claiming at the end of the video that, “we’ll pick it up again tonight, were going to do it one more time.”

    To those who might say Magic Kingdom isn’t the right forum for this type for message, Cini says, “Disney does not have a monopoly on political viewpoints. Should I have done it somewhere else? After all that’s their Flagship product.” he said. “I support my President and the liberal left does not have a monopoly on embedding their political viewpoints into our daily lives.”

    He said that the last time he did this at Disney World, security escorted him out of the park, yet he still keeps coming back. It seems they aren’t much of a deterrent for him. “I’ve done this so many times,” he states.

    It’s unknown if he will make another attempt later or ever.  According to our sources, the man was banned for 60 days and his annual pass was revoked.  This has till not yet been confirmed by Disney and when we asked Cini about it, he stated he knew nothing about it and said, “Will find out in a few hours.”

  • Guest Removed From Hall of Presidents Show After Chanting “Lock Him Up!”

    Guest Removed From Hall of Presidents Show After Chanting “Lock Him Up!”

    A revised Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom just reopened less than two weeks ago and as expected it has been met with mixed reactions. Wednesday, a guest identified as Jay Malsky filmed himself yelling “Lock him up” throughout the Trump’s speech at the Disney World Hall of Presidents.

    The outburst directed at Trump was caught on video Tuesday and has social media buzzing.

    In the video above a robotic representation of Donald Trump was set to give a speech on stage in front of 44 other animatronic presidential audio figures. All of the presidents are introduced before Donald Trump begins to speak. He can barely even get his name out before Malsky starts chanting “Lock him up!” repeatedly without pause. The disruption obviously frustrated the other guest trying to enjoy the attraction.

    Many guests try shushing him while others start yelling back at him. The cast member inside the attraction got on the loudspeaker to remind everyone to “please stay seated throughout the duration of the show”. The best part is when one guest can be heard yelling, “He’s not real!”

    It continues for close to a minute before Malsky is escorted out of the building.

    Malsky also tweeted his own outburst:

    Though it was rare, it should be noted that similar outbursts also occurred when President Obama headed the stage.

    Since the attraction opened Disney’s security and Orange County Sheriff’s officers have been stationed at the attraction and it looks like this would be the reason why.

    Trumps addition to the attraction has been the center of controversy since his inauguration with petitions circulating and calls for Disney boycotts. Like it or not, it’s called the Hall of Presidents and he is there to stay. People have a right to protest, but this clearly isn’t the place to do it. Regardless of your opinion on it, an attraction in the middle of the Magic Kingdom isn’t the place for politics and you could always just skip that attraction.

    The Hall of Presidents carries a legacy and passion for American history that has been part of Disney Parks for more than 50 years. It’s meant to honor more than 200 years of the American story. The epic theatrical production was envisioned by Walt Disney himself to honor the country by honoring the presidents of the United States.

  • BREAKING VIDEO: Trump Has Speaking Role in Hall of Presidents Debut

    BREAKING VIDEO: Trump Has Speaking Role in Hall of Presidents Debut

    After months of speculation Donald Trump finally makes his presidential debut in the Hall of Presidents.  He is standing front and slightly off-center on the stage next to a seated Abraham Lincoln and his animatronic figure indeed has a speaking role.

    “Above all, to be American is to be an optimist, to believe that we can always do better, and that the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us,” the Trump figure says. Check out the video at the bottom to see and hear the new addition for yourself.

    The first part of his speech was a re-recording of the presidential oath of office. Then, with hands moving he spoke about the spirit of the American people and the U.S. Constitution.

    Trump’s speech concludes, “It’s a privilege to serve as the President of the United States, to stand here among so many great leaders of our past, and to work on behalf of the American people.”

    The hall has been closed since mid-January, two months after Trump won the presidential election. Following a year-long transformation, The Hall of Presidents will officially reopen at Magic Kingdom Park on Tuesday, December 19, with enhancements that will bring the story of the American presidency to life as never before. The epic theatrical production was envisioned by Walt Disney himself to honor the country by honoring the presidents of the United States.

    This endeavor began with a single animated figure of President Abraham Lincoln that was developed for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. In 1971, advances in technology made it possible for Imagineers to make Walt Disney’s vision a reality by including every chief executive who ever served the United States of America.

    Get a first look here with the video below.

    The history of innovation at The Hall of Presidents continues to this day. In addition to updating the show’s content, Imagineers have incorporated the latest in theatrical design and Audio-Animatronics technology. Landmark moments in history come alive on a panoramic 180-degree screen that transports guests across more than 200 years of the American story. High-impact projection, sound, lighting and other enhancements take guests into rare and indelible moments in history that helped define a nation.

    As has been the tradition with every new president since the attraction debuted, an Audio-Animatronics figure of President Donald J. Trump has been added to the show and features the latest advances in technology that enable smoother and more lifelike movements. President Trump personally recorded remarks exclusively for The Hall of Presidents, just as each sitting president has done for the attraction since the early 1990s.

  • RUMOR: Donald Trump’s Hall of Presidents Debut at Disney World to be Before Christmas

    RUMOR: Donald Trump’s Hall of Presidents Debut at Disney World to be Before Christmas

    Reports at Disney World have surfaced stating that Donald Trump’s expected debut in he newly refurbished Hall of Presidents may happen before Christmas. The Hall of Presidents was set to reopen on June 29, but has remained closed since January 17.

    In past years, the Disney theme park attraction would close for a short period of time to include the newest president. However, Trump’s inclusion has taken much longer than expected, especially as he was elected over a year ago.

    The Hall of Presidents is expected to open by Christmas of this year according to WDWMagic sources . We should point out that relying on unnamed sources surrounding this particular attraction has been in the fake news category in the past, but if you consider that back in June, Disney did say in a tweet that the attraction would open by “late 2017,” then this date does make a lot of sense.

    Perhaps the biggest controversy surrounding the attraction came from a report from Vice, which, cited an anonymous source at Disney who stated that there was an internal struggle amongst Imagineers on whether or not to completely retool the attraction so that the 45th president wouldn’t have a speaking role.

    Only time will tell if these current reports prove true or if Disney plans to keep it on the back burned a little longer.

    Below is a look at the most recent version of the attraction before it closed in it’s entirety.
