Article content
A visitor at Disneyland created a bit of an uproar after a photo of him wearing a controversial hat was posted on social media.
A user named @spacestrawberry420 shared on the theme park’s Reddit page a photo of a man sitting on a tram wearing a black light-up Mickey Mouse hat festooned with the “Make America Great Again” slogan in gold lettering.

“Custom MAGA ears — my friend is at Disneyland today and had the pleasure of sharing a tram ride with these lovely folks,” the caption read.
The woman sitting next to the Trump supporter’s headgear can’t be seen, though her ears do appear to match her seatmate’s, at least colour-wise.
The comments were jam-packed with people, most of whom were shocked that the man would don such a hat at a tourist attraction.
“I really can’t imagine being so pumped for any political party to do this,” one user wrote. “Like it’s not even like a shirt or something that is easily accessible. Like you would have to work to find those.”
Others argued that anything political should be banned from Disney parks.

That said, many pointed out that the man likely wore it to get a reaction — which, incidentally, he accomplished.
“Help me understand the thinking here. ‘I hate woke Disney,’ but let me give them my money. The whole MAGA party is full of hypocrisies.”
Disneyland’s website makes no mention of political attire being against the park’s dress code.
Aside from costumes and masks (with the exception of those used for medical purposes) being worn by older guests, it only mentions “inappropriate attire,” which includes “clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics,” excessively torn or loose-fitting clothing that could create a potential tripping hazard, and revealing clothing that exposes “excessive portions of the skin.”
