Disney Security Follows Guest to the Bathroom, Forces Him To Turn Violent Shirt Inside Out
A Disneyland Resort guest has garnered attention on TikTok after wearing a shirt that reportedly violated the Southern California Disney parks’ dress code. The Disney Park guest posted online after security cast members followed him to the restroom, reportedly forcing him to turn the shirt inside out.
Violent Mickey Mouse Shirt
On Saturday, TikTok creator Peter Petrella (@peterpetrella) shared a video posted by a Disneyland Resort guest, showing the shirt that security cast members forced him to turn inside out. Petrella, who makes content about the Disney parks, offered his thoughts on the dress code violation.
@peterpetrella This was a wild one to make #disneyparks #distok #disneyworld #foryou #wdw
The shirt in question was a Grunt Style tee featuring a black-and-white image of Mickey Mouse carrying an assault-style rifle and wearing a helmet that read “Born to Kill.” Under the drawing is text reading “Full Metal Mouse.”
When one commenter suggested that the Disneyland Resort guest should’ve turned the shirt right-side out after getting into the park, the original creator replied that security cast members escorted him to and from the restroom, forcing him to change.
“Security literally escorted him to the bathroom to make sure he turned it inside out,” they wrote.
Petrella urged Disney guests not to push the boundaries by wearing inappropriate or violent clothing at the theme parks.
“This is threatening,” he said. “You can call me a baby, you can say whatever you want, but in today’s world…you actually don’t know what anybody’s intentions are. That is an unfortunate fact of the world that we live in. So why would you take the chance?”
The TikToker acknowledged that the man wearing the shirt appeared to be a veteran of some kind, but said that didn’t excuse wearing violent imagery to Disneyland Park.
“Thank you for your service, but there is no way of literally anybody knowing that that’s the case,” Petrella continued. “There’s no reason to go out of your way to make the people around you feel uneasy or uncomfortable, because nobody does know your intentions.”
“This is just a reminder that before you go to any establishment, really, make sure that you read the rules,” he concluded. “If the rules say, ‘Hey, there are certain things you’re not really allowed to wear,’ maybe listen to it.”
The Disney Dress Code
Of course, Disneyland Resort’s dress code doesn’t explicitly prohibit clothing featuring Disney characters in violent scenarios. The theme park guidelines are intentionally vague, giving cast members leeway in determining when a guest should be forced to change. The official website states:
Attire that is not appropriate for the theme parks (and which may result in refusal of admittance or ejection) includes but is not limited to:
-
Costumes may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older
-
Masks may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older (unless they are for medical purposes)
-
Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics
-
Excessively torn clothing or loose fitting clothing which may drag on the ground and create a potential trip hazard
-
Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment
-
Clothing with multiple layers are subject to search upon entry
-
Visible tattoos that could be considered inappropriate, such as those containing objectionable language or designs
-
Bare feet
Disney Parks Fans Respond
In the comments of Petrella’s video, hundreds of Disney Parks fans shared their opinions on the guest’s Mickey Mouse t-shirt. Many said his behavior was inexcusable.
“Ex. cast member: We used to sell bubble guns at Disney and then we switched to bubble wands because the implication of a gun was decided to be too violent,” @thewonderginger wrote. “So they’re definitely not going to allow a depiction of Mickey holding a real gun in the park.”
“Doesn’t matter if he is a service member or not…,” said @zombiecreative. “Service members are still capable of doing dangerous threatening things……”
Others defended the guest.
“He probably thought it was funny and didn’t think anything would happen,” @stirfryasparagus wrote. “Not everyone has malicious intentions.”
“Honestly I’ve seen way more offensive shit at Disney than this,” @kate.shoop replied.
Still, almost every commenter agreed that the shirt wasn’t appropriate for Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort.
“Why in the world would they think Disney would be okay with Mickey Mouse holding a gun?” @madmaxrebo asked.
“That shirt is in poor taste for a children themed park,” @cuca6138 agreed.
