Overnight, the United States of America elected Donald Trump to return to the White House as the 47th president, and Disney Parks fans are already discussing how his leadership could affect Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.

At Walt Disney World Resort, Walt Disney Imagineers will likely replace the Joe Biden animatronic in Magic Kingdom Park’s Hall of Presidents with the already-existing Trump animatronic. However, some fans fear that the Republican leader and his running mate, J.D. Vance, could have more widespread impacts on the Disney parks.

Hours before millions of Americans awoke to the news that Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, one fan semi-jokingly expressed concern that Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort would only allow white people into the theme parks under his leadership. “Us at Disneyland before it’s only white people allowed,” TikTok user @junkftheheart wrote.

Some Disney Parks fans took the video seriously.

“I never considered that this may be a possibility… NOOOOOOOOO,” one social media user commented.

“Anything is a possibility I fear now,” the TikToker replied.

“Do not play like this cause I just got my kid a magic key 30 mins ago so we can go often,” said another commenter.

Others jokingly considered the impact Trump could have on Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.

“They about to put me in the back of the kitchen soon,” one user wrote.

“We doomed,” said another.

Still, some fans of President Donald Trump commented that Disney Parks fans shouldn’t make exaggerated jokes.

“Y’all know Trump was president for…years before Biden,” one Disney Parks fan commented. “Y’all weren’t scared then what’s the difference now?”

“Yeah this isn’t happening like he was president before n everything was fine,” another replied.
