It’s not every day that Disney influencers and politics cross paths, but thanks to TikTok and President-Elect Donald Trump, here we are.

Over the weekend, TikTok briefly went dark in the U.S. due to looming bans, only to come back after Trump announced a 90-day reprieve for the app. Disney influencers on TikTok quickly responded, sharing their thoughts and concerns about the situation.
TikTok has become a major platform for Disney fans, with influencers regularly sharing park tips, merchandise hauls, and behind-the-scenes looks at the parks. The temporary shutdown left many creators scrambling to find alternative ways to stay connected with their audiences.
Some began directing their followers to other platforms, while others expressed concern about what a permanent ban could mean for their content and community engagement.

“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation,” Trump said.
While Trump was initially in favor of banning TikTok, he has since changed his tune on the app. Though a bi-partisan bill signed by Joe Biden moved to ban the app, U.S. lawmakers have pushed TikTok to sell to an American company. With so many Disney Adults on the app, it’s strange collision that we certainly didn’t have on our 2025 bingo card.
Meanwhile, over at Magic Kingdom, another Trump-related update is making headlines. The Hall of Presidents is set to close temporarily to make way for changes, which include adding Donald Trump back into the attraction. This update has sparked discussions within the Disney community, with many curious about how the former president will be presented in the updated exhibit.

The Hall of Presidents has long been a staple of Magic Kingdom, offering guests a chance to see lifelike animatronics of every U.S. president, each delivering a short speech representing their administration.
When Trump’s animatronic was first added in 2017, it drew mixed reactions from guests. Now, with his return to the attraction, fans are once again divided on what this means for the future of the attraction and whether it will maintain its historical appeal or feel more politicized than ever before.
As Disney influencers continue to share Disney park updates and tips on TikTok, the platform remains a space for sharing their experiences and building communities, at least for now. Many creators are now considering diversifying their content across multiple social media channels to prepare for potential future disruptions.
Platforms like Instagram and YouTube have seen an influx of Disney-related content, as influencers work to maintain their reach and engagement should TikTok face further challenges.

For now, Disney fans can continue enjoying their favorite content on TikTok—at least for the next 90 days. Whether it’s ride POVs, character interactions, or DIY Disney-inspired recipes, the House of Mouse remains in the TikTok spotlight despite ongoing political developments.
However, influencers are urging their followers to stay informed about potential changes and to support their content across different platforms to ensure they don’t miss out on future updates.
