A controversial Disney influencer is under fire once again after posting videos of himself using drugs before entering Disneyland Resort. The social media content creator posted multiple videos of himself using a water pipe (bong) to smoke marijuana in a parked car less than an hour before starting a live stream from inside Disneyland Park, leading viewers to believe he ingested the substance in a Disney parking lot.

This is hardly the first incident involving influencers at Disneyland Park, Downtown Disney, and Disney California Adventure Park. One vlogging couple, Best Life and Beyond, has sparked fury multiple times, allegedly admitting to visiting the theme parks while sick with COVID-19 on one occasion and seemingly attacking another influencer on Main Street, U.S.A. on another. The Disney influencers deny these claims.

Like Best Life and Beyond, Tony Paredes of the Beautiful Tomorrow TV YouTube channel has repeatedly drawn Disney Parks fans’ ire. With almost 25,000 subscribers and a linked Patreon, Paredes makes a steady income live streaming from Disneyland Resort almost daily.

In 2023, viewers accused Paredes of abusing Disneyland Resort’s Disability Access Service (DAS). The Disney influencer allegedly used a DAS Pass that wasn’t his without the DAS-approved Disney Park guest present and borrowed one of his party members’ electric conveyance vehicle (ECV) not to raise suspicion. In a now-deleted video, Paredes said the scheme made them “VIP.”

“I’m just borrowing this scooter so we can get on VIP,” he admitted. “We’re VIPing it tonight. We’re a little spoiled.”

This week, Parades drew attention again for posting multiple videos of himself smoking out of a bong on the Beautiful Tomorrow TV Instagram account. He quickly removed the videos, which led some fans to believe they were mistakenly posted to the wrong account. Inside the Magic obtained these screenshots from the lost stories:

The videos were clearly taken in a parked car, though it’s impossible to discern the location based on surroundings alone. However, the timing suggests the Disney influencer may have broken one of Disneyland Resort’s most strict rules.

Paredes posted the Instagram stories around 6:40 p.m. PST on March 20, 2024. At around 8:00 p.m., he began live streaming from Disneyland Park on the Beautiful Tomorrow TV YouTube Channel. Given the distance from the Disneyland Resort parking areas to the theme parks and the time it takes to get through security, viewers suspected that he smoked on Disney property.

Cannabis is legal for recreational use in California but banned at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort–even in smoking areas and parking lots. “Smoking marijuana or any other illegal substances is not permitted at any time,” the Property Rules state. Violating this policy can result in a temporary or permanent ban from Disney Resort property without a refund for theme park admission.

Inside the Magic can’t confirm without a doubt that Paredes violated Disneyland Resort’s rules. He didn’t speak publicly when accused of smoking marijuana in his car at Disneyland Resort. However, he quickly deleted the videos from the Beautiful Tomorrow TV Instagram story.

Should the Disney influencer face a ban if the Southern California Disney Resort finds he used marijuana on its property? Share your thoughts with Inside the Magic in the comments.
