    Well, Mickey is a little over masculine looking on that sign. It is a little offensive.

    1. Steve Taylor

      Everything today seems to be “offensive!”
      People are getting really stupid!

      1. Captain EO

        *sigh* it can get worse from here.

        1. Barbara

          I am really going to miss that sign. Why would someone tear Mickey sign down? What’s the reason behind that? We were down there this past May. If I had known about that Mickey sign, I would’ve taken a picture of him and Minnie. Whenever I come back to Orlando, I don’t know if it will be the same or feel the same. Please leave Mickey sign and Minnie sign alone.

          1. Julie Snyder

            They’re building a new overpass entrance to that intersection. That’s why they’re in the process of tearing down all the buildings that were in the Crossroads Plaza shopping center from a year ago.

      2. Barbara

        I agree

    2. Barbara

      Get a life..

      1. D

        Take a joke Karen

        1. Thomas

          Welcome to “woke” Disney! Disney is the Michael Jackson of theme parks. They keep fixing it until it’s broken!

        2. Mickey is a male mouse!!!!

        3. Iliene

          WTAF?? This is ridiculous!! What could possibly be offensive about Mickey and Minnie?? Bet they are trying to make them androgynous!!

    3. Mackey is a male mouse!!!!

      1. This stupid phone I even went in and changed mickey to Mackey and it changed it back. Ugh

        1. beverlyinmississippi@gmail.com

          I love Disney and Walt almost as much as Santa as a child. Don’t let politicians use Micki to further their cultist views and propaganda. Go Micki, you are loved around the world.

          1. M

            It’s not the political hacks blame it on the old CEO that’s pissed on the way he left his position, he’s trying to blame it on new CEO for all this trouble and DeSantis is fighting back against the Disney woke which want to cater to the kids that want a kiddie litter box in school so she can defacate in it because she and her parents believe that she’s a cat.
            Only in America
            Unbelievable

    4. Bud

      Seems like you’re the offended one Mini mouse is up there.

    5. Nate

      Ur a disgrace to society to be offended by something as petty as that. I can’t stand people like you. Sad to see it go. Its history and its not harming anybody.

    6. Barb

      Your part of the problem

    7. Lizzi

      Please tell me you’re being sarcastic. ANYone who actually believes that has been brainwashed. Period.

    8. Jz

      Are you serious? So what is so masculine about him, the fact that he doesn’t wear a dress?

  2. Jay

    That’s Minnie?

    1. Broke but Woke

      Yes. Pronouns she/her, thank you.

      1. Mickey Mouse represents the evils of the Old South as well as modern day Toxic Masculinity. About time Disney got modern and politically correct! (Sarcasm folks)
        It’s comments like mine that are changing our nation into something I can’t recognize nor do I care to.

        1. Jay

          You are so correct!

        2. L

          Thank goodness; a sane and rational
          mindset.

      2. Dope that’s woke

      3. sally

        Your an idiot

  3. Disneydi

    Why couldn’t this icon sign be saved and relocated? Say where the tower of terror sign was?

    1. SCOTT m Lee-ROSS

      Shortly before where the old Tower of Terror sign was located, there already is a Welcome to Walt Disney World Archway. The same style but larger than the one they are removing.

    2. I Don't

      Who cares.

  4. Nicole

    What are they putting up in t
    It’s place?

    1. Who knows

      Pride flags, billboards for “designer” brands at Disney Springs, DVC ads, nothing at all.

      1. Ah

        Mind cluttered with identity politic nonsense

      2. Christine

        Before I moved here, I always looked forward to get off I-4 and seeing Mickey and Minnie as we entered the Plaza. This is very sad. Another memory destroyed.

        1. Sally

          If it’s not being replaced with something better I’ll be so disappointed. Walt Disney was an innovator- he would expect us to keep Disney World up with the times.

      3. Mary

        Another wonderful memoriy destroyed, very 😢

      4. Alex

        Stop blaming the LGBT for chapek’s greed. No one in the community asked for the sign to be taken down Karens.

        1. Ricker

          Are you speaking on behalf of the entirety of the LGBT movement/community? Can you back up that absolutely nobody wanted this or are you just making empty statements? Last I checked this social movement group is just as full of extremists as any other in history.

        2. AccountantBob

          Stop crying f@g. No one likes your grooming community

    2. Leeann Jacket

      An overpass.

      1. Preston

        Well from steamboat willy to mickey I grew up listening to the good things Mackey stood for and taught even my grandchildren have always cherished him, what world and message are we teaching to them that everything we were taught was wrong, the woke have spoken and the message is wrong and the wrath of God will be swift and unmerciful

        1. Jonathan

          Lol. What god? Grow up already.

          1. Tori

            Anyone *laughing* in denial that there is a God or some intelligence that created everything, with absolutely zero argument for their own infantile dismissal, shouldn’t be telling others to *grow up*. It’s YOU, sweetie, who is immature and deserves mockery and ridicule for being so intellectually and emotionally stunted…and proud of it.

          2. Hey Jonathan, your ignorance is showing.

    3. TrumpWon

      Disneyland is a junkyard of pervs and pedos. The rides are crap, the food more expensive than rent, crowded and just expensive. It’s more like a land of horror.

      1. SCOTT m Lee-ROSS

        Well, not only is everything in your post factually incorrect, your handle is just plain false. It shows you will believe anything with every fact pointing to the opposite. I believe the word to describe that is “ignorant”.

        1. Kevin

          Actually, besides his name, pretty much everything in his post is spot on. I just got back from a trip to WDW and it was horrible. Rides were good if you could get on them and don’t mind waiting on a 2+ hour line for a lot of them. The food is way over priced and not that good. Crowds were absolutely insane. I know you are Bob Chapek’s lap dog and all but pull your head out your keister for once and look at things objectively. Even this site reports on how bad things are at the parks all the time.

          1. AdeleT

            Then don’t go, and the parks will be so much better for the rest of us!

          2. Kevin

            Nice response. What are you 12 years old? Judging by your other comments I wouldn’t even say that old. 12 year olds are much more mature.

          3. Kevin

            And don’t worry child. I will not spend my hard earned money at a Disney Park until they change the way they operate and go back to the customer oriented service they completely lost a few years ago.

          4. Not going

            Don’t go to the parks, like don’t go to Lightyear (flop) or Thor (flop)?

          5. J

            Nope. His name and his blabbering and yours all wrong.

        2. Dusty Malloy

          Talk about ignorant, you are the blind fool !

        3. Kathy

          Everything he said above is true…not to mention the slave labor….words people in the world to work for….

          1. Kathy

            Worse people

        4. AMJ

          Geerze. They just took a week to repainted this sign from creamy brown blocks to the grey blocks. Waste of money. But on the other hand, someone was paid to paint it, so that might have been a good thing. I’m gonna miss the sign.

          1. Barbara

            I will not miss you anything about Disney because it isn’t Disney anymore and I will not be going back again

        5. Travis Weberling

          @Scott m Lee-Ross, he’s not wrong about the food at WDW & at DL being overpriced as well as the portion sizes are less for what you’re paying, & with the way their raising the price to just get into the parks,that eventually the only people that’ll be able to afford to go to the parks are celebrities & the upper 1%, & not the common man like you & I.

        6. BBBBBARBARA

          Who are you to say what he posted is wrong.Everyone is entitled to an opinion! Do you research h..let’s go brandon!

        7. Tori

          Why are you lying about that post being *factually incorrect*, dear, when the facts, as conveyed by even the mainstream news, do support it? Pedo arrests, grooming rings, paying for employees abortions, etc. You, however, have very inadvertently and comically made yourself an illustration for *ignorant*. Thanks for doing that, doll.

      2. AdeleT

        Then why are you bothering to read about changes at the park? Looks like you’re a true Disney lover at heart. It’s too bad that your adoration of Disney outweighs your love of an ignorant loser, but that’s okay, you can hide out online and pretend to be someone else while spending your day surfing through Disney trivia and imagining yourself at the happiest place on Earth.

      3. Mason

        Like Epstein’s island?

      4. BidenWon

        I am sorry if you think sexual issues aren’t marginal. Disneyland is not Neverland.

      5. Trump lost

        Trump LOST as for you your a REAL LOSER

        1. Trump WON

          Trump is the legitimate president. Biden is a tinpot dictator who rode into DC on a coup legitimized by a staged election.

      6. Vic

        Just don’t go there visit Trump’s dream World where you will donate all your money to ride the lie train.

      7. Mary

        Another wonderful memorie destroyed, very 😢 sad

      8. David

        That’s why some Floridians call it Dismal, The Tragic Kingdom.

    4. Chris

      Predators run the show now. Grooming and luring young minds into Perversion! So Sad!

      1. Barbara

        I agree

      2. Kim

        You are a true Chump Stepford wife with a comment like that!

    5. Barbara

      Probably 2 mickeys..or 2 minnies..people need a life..

      1. Kim

        Funny how the finger pointers are the scared ones that cannot admit that they have feelings for the same sex.

    6. AccountantBob

      Signs saying “Children under 12 needed”. For their grooming program.

  5. SNogg

    “Chapstick” strikes again.

  6. peterparker22

    Are we really frozen in horror at the removal of Disney signs? Not sure about you, but for SO. MANY. REASONS. I have not been back to Disney to even connect with which signs go where, and why. None of it matters at all. Hard to keep caring about anything Disney does lately.

    1. AdeleT

      And yet… here you are…

      1. Kathy

        Everything he said above is true…not to mention the slave labor….worse people in the world to work for…. and as we scroll thru our phones and see what’s happening in our neighborhoods, why wouldn’t we read comments on it? You sound like a child….some like it some don’t get over yourself…your opinion matters about as much as mine or anyone elses….

  7. Chris

    We just had the 50th anniversary, and it feels like “thanks Mickey/Minnie, now, beat it!”

  8. leila

    I hope they plan to replace it with something just as welcoming.Seeing that sign sets the mood when you get on property.

    1. Jeane

      Because the copyrights for those characters expired.

      1. Meltigger

        Yes. They were really on the ball with letting that happen. Proves just how out of touch those in charge here are. So full of agendas they haven’t stopped to protect Walt’s dream.

  9. Mason

    Hopefully Disney is just replacing the Mickey and Minnie signs with the runaway railroad/ modern animation versions of Mickey and Minnie. Not Butch Minnie and non-binary drag queen Mickey

    1. Peter

      I hate the new version of Mickey and friends. Reminds me Ren and Stimpy. They all look mean and unfriendly.

  10. G

    When are or did they do this? Because I just got back 2 days ago and the signs were still up. So I’m confused

  11. Bren

    Who wants to bet eventually there will be a statue of Cheapek erected before too long? Lord knows the board loves him, and he loves himself so much. He’s doing great things you know! Also, if anyone one of you think the “woke” are happy with all these Disney changes, you are mistaken! Extreme left and extreme right will always be causing problems, but the normal, middle of the road see things for what they are. Greedy Cheapek strikes again!

    1. Middle of the road gets run over

      “Extreme right” these days was “middle of the road” 30 years ago. Centrisism is a joke. You stand for nothing.

  12. I swallow

    Looks like they are preparing for the mickey mouse copyright expiration.

  13. Sharon

    Disney isn’t Disney anymore. The company’s been ruined since Chapek was given the job of running things. Bad news is that he doesn’t care. Nobody wants him, why hasn’t he been fired?
    What company with deep pockets is the Disney Company gearing up to sell to. The end is quite near. Too bad because it was fun all these years.

    1. Iger killed Disney

      Disney wasn’t Disney under Iger. Chapek is just Iger part 2.

  14. Rebecca Leonard

    How dare they? I love going to Disney World, and I’m glad the actual theme parks are still intact, but removing Mickey from the welcome sign is the worst idea ever. 😡

    1. It's gone

      They really aren’t. Most of the rides in Magic Kingdom have been woked or are slated to be woked.

  15. Dawn

    Think about it…. Without the “Reedy Creek Improvement District” that area becomes part of the States issue for upkeep. Any and all signage not on actual Disney Property will be removed. Why would they leave anything where they are not in control of the maintenance?

    1. Dawn

      This includes all of the roads leading into the parks…. the potholes and such will need to be covered by the State/County. As will all gardening….

      1. Brian

        Just bulldoze it all, put in Walgreens and medical MJ shops.

  16. Wright

    I was just in Orlando and Mickey is still up… He’s on the opposite side of entrance. They are both standing alone. So whoever took this picture must have just missed Mickey on the other side.

  17. Jam

    Meh

  18. Stephen smith

    The whole world is nuts!!!

  19. What is wrong why move them? Kids love to see them and have pictures taken with them. Walt is probably turning over in his grave

  20. Joyce

    What did Mickey do? Is he a racist? Did he expose himself? Did he own slaves? I don’t understand.]

  21. Barbara

    So true, sad

  22. Kim

    Thank the Terrible Governor Desantis running Disney out of Florida, so he can turn this state to the GOP radicals. No more Blacks, Gays, Mexicans, Freedom of speech, School textbooks all changing to new verbiage and no more right to vote! You will be under authoritarianism. Don’t say you were not warned!!!!!!

    1. Not in Florida

      Wow. Did you not take your pills, or take too many? All I can say is, I’m glad you’re never coming to Florida again. Right?

      1. Kim

        Hey clown. I live here and the state has gone downhill since Desantis became the Governor! You must be a Chump follower! Be careful what you wish for!

        1. Go home

          You’re completely deranged. If you hate it so much, LEAVE. We don’t want you. You aren’t welcome.

  23. My comment is Why? This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Mickey and Minnie are icons. !!!

  24. Christina

    So sad to see the happiest place on earth succumb to “wokeism.”
    I was a Passholder for 20 years. Not anymore.

  25. Anna

    With how much the board has completely ruined Disney, they don’t deserve Mickey or Minnie. I’m for once in agreement with them. The Disney of yesterday was so much better than what is has become.

  26. Rajeve

    This is what the lefties do best, destroy other people’s work and good ideas!

    1. Rick Buddah

      👍👍👍- Well said and so true!!!!! The Trolls on of the loser left spread despair ,misery & gloom- that’s what they mean by equality- everyone is equally miserable- !!!

  27. Renn

    Instead of being “ woke”, I think it’s time that Disney awakes to what Disney fans really want to see. I’m boycotting Disney for their political stance, just stick to what you do best, entertaining people. No longer the happiest place on earth.

    1. Carlos

      Adults obsessed with Disney are creepy and need to grow up.

  28. Stacy

    Those of us in California were just as sad when they removed the “Happiest Place on Earth” sign which was at the old entrance to Disneyland. Maybe they should consider a museum located somewhere in between.

  29. It is disturbing where is Disney heading with all these changes based on wokeness and being politically correct.My parents took me when I was little girl and enjoy so much of it especially with my dad in racing car lines in that time.Or the hunted mansion or the pirates of the caribbean.That would Walt Disney want us enjoy and remember and memories by of how fun to be in a place called Disneyland with family and friends.But now Disney have been evoking there politics and wokeness culture to this theme park which Walt Disney invested and build for future families to have an experience of fun and thrills and of course life time memories.

  30. FrankieBronx

    🖕U Dismal Disney- It’s a shame that a bunch of self adoring snake pit cancel clown cupcakes and snow flakes are destroying what was once a destination of joy , family fun and where children could imagine and dream!!!

    Woke Disney is now a miserable , Far Left infested theme park based on being offended, being indoctrinated on a sinister agenda and feel good tyrannical pure BS!!

    Boycott this cesspool stink tank
    Until they return to reality;
    Celebration of Family, bringing joy to children, being a wonderful vacation destination- not a joyless indoctrination center!!!!

  31. Bruce

    My family will no longer spend our vacation dollar at WDW. This Woke company has pushed to far. Goodbye.

  32. Nancy

    Disney World is trying to commit suicide . Why destroy what we love and associate with Disney ???? I live an hour away and they’re destroying some memories .

  33. Mike

    With the wokesters in charge how do we know that that’s not really Mickey in the dress?

  34. Your mom

    It’s a great start. Can’t wait till the rest comes down and Disney leaves Florida

    1. Brian

      They should move Disney World to Detroit.

  35. Jeane

    That’s because the copyright for those characters expired or will soon expire.

  36. Good news! A new Mickey is going up in the old Mickey’s place. Of course he’ll be wearing leather chaps and a banana hammock. Way to go Bob.

  37. Erik Eriksen

    Duck Fisney

  38. Mike

    Moving out of that insane asylum of a state? Captain Hook runs it! No big deal!

  39. Helene K

    Somehow, the sight of a mouse in a dress, high heels and lipstick, a mouse, 10 times bigger than the biggest RAT, this idea has always made me sick..

  40. Kari

    Uhh you guys DO realise that Disney no longer owns mickey mouse as their licencing has ended

  41. I know I don’t know or understand what they are thinking or doing but at the moment I am very sad. If they don’t want them anymore send them to me! I will love and respect them.

  42. Unbelievable

    lTM knew exactly what kind of MAGATS we’re gonna click on this story and start talking trash.. only reason for most of their stories and article titles nowadays. And they didn’t disappoint. Good job bringing out all the trash.

  43. Lesley Carolyn Newell

    I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that Mickey And Minnie are being removed from The Welcome Sign. Walt Disney did say ‘ I only hope we don’t lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse “.

  44. Julie Snyder

    Mickey Mouse has not yet come down. Mickey’s portion of this sign was missed during the left hand turn of this photo. Mickey’s separate sign is behind this blue “banner” sign to the left. I took photos of and with these signs last Sunday and was just out there today, a few hours ago and all signs are still up and intact.

  45. HC

    Just left the parks…and Mickey is still on the sign at 1am July 25…

  46. Romyeaux

    This is a minor thing compared to removing the Sorcerer’s Hat at DHS, or the Mickey’s Magic Wand from the EPCOT ball
    I think the political stance Disney has taken are absolutely malfeasance. My stock has dropped more than $50/share. They need to go back to being family-friendly, and leave the trash to Universal.

  47. Tammy

    Maybe at least if you must be so cruel, auction the signs off and donate to charities!
    Real charities like food bank St Jude
    Cancer society
    Local needs and churches
    Share the wealth

  48. Ann

    This falls into the category of I Don’t Care.

  49. B. York

    Cry about it. They’re probably going to put up a new sign and new attractions, why keep it the same for so long? Times change and businesses need to keep things fresh and modern.
