Disney fans and influencers are no strangers to unexpected changes, but the recent uncertainty surrounding TikTok has sparked a new level of concern.
Over the weekend, the popular social media app briefly went dark in the U.S. as lawmakers pushed for a potential ban, but President-Elect Donald Trump announced a 90-day reprieve. This unexpected turn of events has left many Disney creators scrambling to adapt.
TikTok has become a platform for Disney fans to share park tips, merchandise hauls, and magical moments from the parks. When the app temporarily shut down, influencers were quick to express their concerns and explore alternative ways to stay connected with their audiences. Some encouraged their followers to find them on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, while others worried about the long-term impact a potential ban could have on their content and community.
Many influencers, who have built their brands around Disney content, are now evaluating how to diversify their digital presence. The uncertainty has sparked discussions about the importance of not relying solely on one platform. Some content creators are experimenting with blog posts, podcasts, and even live streaming on platforms like Twitch to maintain their connection with audiences.
“The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully,” he said.
Despite a bipartisan bill signed by President Joe Biden aimed at banning the app, lawmakers have continued urging TikTok to sell to an American company.
Meanwhile, Disney’s Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom is also facing changes as the attraction prepares to add Donald Trump back into its lineup. The announcement has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning how the former president will be represented and whether it will impact the attraction’s historical authenticity. Guests have shared mixed reactions on social media, with some excited to see the attraction stay up-to-date.
For now, Disney TikTok influencers are urging their followers to stay engaged across multiple platforms. The next 90 days will be crucial for the future of TikTok in the U.S., and content creators are preparing for whatever changes may come.
