Did Disney ban MAGA hats from their theme parks in June 2025? No, that's not true: The claim originated on Mouse Trap News, which describes its output as "satire and parody". We found no evidence to suggest that the rumor was even inadvertently true.
The claim appeared in a June 18, 2025, post on Instagram. The embedded video bore the title "Disney World Bans MAGA Hat in Their Parks!"
A voiceover contained the following account:
Anyone seen wearing a MAGA hat will be immediately and banned from all Disney theme parks for at least a year.
The video can be watched below:
In reality, the story was entirely false.
It originated on Mouse Trap News, who also posted it to their TikTok profile, as well as their website, on June 14.
Mouse Trap News publishes fake Disney-related content, and carries the folliwing disclaimer on their website:
Mouse Trap News is the world's best satire and parody site...We write fake stories about Disney Parks stuff. From Disney Park announcements to Disney Hotel and resort news to made-up Disney partnerships, you can be assured that anything you read here is not true, real, or accurate, but it is fun.
A Google News search for "Disney" and "maga hats" yielded no relevant results on June 24, confirming that the rumor was not even inadvertently accurate.
