Disney Cast Member Says Theme Park “Targeted” Him for Wearing Costume
A Disneyland Resort cast member who moonlights as a social media influencer claims he was repeatedly “targeted” by the theme park’s security for wearing an Amazon delivery outfit during his off-duty visits. Known online as “The Amazon Guy,” the Southern California content creator recently took to Instagram and TikTok to share videos of his interactions with Disneyland security, sparking a heated debate among Disney Park fans.
“The Amazon Guy”
The influencer has become well-known for his unique approach to theme park visits, dressing in an Amazon delivery driver outfit while interacting with character performers. His content has gained traction on social media, with followers enjoying his creative spin on visiting Southern California theme parks like Disneyland Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.
However, his Amazon-inspired costume has led to several run-ins with Disney Park security, with the influencer claiming this was the fifth time he had been stopped by cast members over his outfit.
Disneyland California Cites Costume Policy
In one of his latest videos, the influencer recorded his interaction with a Disneyland Resort security manager, who cited the theme park’s rule prohibiting guests aged 14 and older from wearing costumes during regular operating hours.
@its_theamazon_guy …did yall ever know yall couldn’t wear an “AMAZON” branded hat to Disneyland? . #Amazon #amazonprime #harrassed #harrassment #nottrue #sad #upsetting #disappointed #disney #Disneyland #disneyparks #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure #fyp #explorerpage #fypシ #foryoupage #deliverydriver #viralvideos #viral #disneylandsecurity #security #media #ktla5news #trending #breakingnews
“That would be a vendor costume,” the security manager said, referencing the influencer’s Amazon vest and hat. “Because Amazon is a vendor.”
The influencer argued that his outfit was not a costume and compared it to branded clothing, such as sports jerseys, worn by other park visitors.
“How would the customers know that?” he asked.
Security Reluctantly Allows Entry
The situation escalated until the influencer suggested that security document the incident to prevent future confrontations. Eventually, the security manager allowed him entry into Disneyland Resort but required him to remove the Amazon hat as a compromise.

“I’m okay to walk away as long as I don’t have my hat on; this outfit I have on is perfectly fine, right?” the influencer clarified.
“It’s fine for right now,” the cast member replied.
Though the issue was temporarily resolved, the influencer described the repeated stops as a pattern of harassment and expressed frustration over being consistently questioned about his outfit.
Fans React to the Controversy
The influencer’s social media posts drew strong reactions from fans and former Disney cast members. Many sided with him, criticizing Disneyland Resort security for singling him out.
“Security at Disneyland is an absolute joke,” one former cast member wrote. “They DO however risk an HR violation against you for a perpetual pattern of harassment, and I truly hope they get the message soon.”
Some fans accused Disneyland of hypocrisy, noting that the parks allow guests to wear other branded attire without issue.
“But I can wear a Coca Cola hat and shirt?” one Instagram user asked. “…Something doesn’t add up.”
Others defended Disneyland Resort’s stance, pointing out the potential risks of allowing vendor-like uniforms into the parks.
“They don’t want to risk someone disguising themselves as a vendor and making their way into backstage areas,” one commenter explained.
“Amazon, UPS, FEDEX, USPS Uniforms are only to be worn while on the clock in public,” another user added. “It’s called misuse and to avoid misrepresentation of you being on the clock.”
