According to a report, Walt Disney World guests must purchase a pride or preferred pronouns pin upon entering any Disney Park. Every guest will be required to wear a pin while in the parks, and those without a pin will be escorted out of the parks by security.

The pride pin shows that every Walt Disney World Resort guest is an ally, while the pronoun pin ensures that people feel safe and are acknowledged by their correct pronouns.

The story says that Walt Disney World will give guests pride and preferred pronouns pins for Pride Month, which starts on June 1, and the practice will continue throughout the month.

The report also claims that guests will not have to purchase a new pin each time they enter a Disney Park; however, they will be required to openly display the pin whenever they are at one of the parks.

The Truth

The article in question is not accurate. Disney World is not making all guests wear pride pins, nor are guests wearing pronoun pins. The article was published by Mouse Trap News, known for its satirical Disney-related articles.

Mouse Trap News has written hundreds of satirical Disney articles, and despite that, people still believe what they write and take it as fact.

Their website says: 

Mouse Trap News was created on a whim to have some fun and write stories about Disney we wish were true. Some Disney sites write deceptive stories for clicks. We write 100% made-up parody and satire stories for your enjoyment.

We also hope that Disney sees how much people like some of our stories and decide to actually make one of our stories a reality! While you read our articles, be sure to keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at all times, and remember these are strictly fictional for your enjoyment.

So, despite the controversial nature of their article, it is entirely fictitious. Disney World will not be requiring guests to wear pride/pronoun pins.
