Man banned from Walt Disney World after waving Trump 2020 banner while on ride

[DonViejo]

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - The man who admits to flying pro-Trump banners at Walt Disney World has just been banned from Disney -- again.

Dion Cini was captured holding a Trump 2020 banner on Splash Mountain. The ride picture reportedly came with a note from the Orange County Sheriff's Office saying that Cini trespassed and his conduct is not welcomed on Disney property. Cini says that after taking the picture, he was escorted off property and he is now banned from all Disney World properties, including the theme parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.

In September, Cini was pictured waving a Trump 2020 banner over the Main Street Train Station. He was banned from Disney property after this incident, but Disney allowed him to come back to the parks with the stipulation that he would not hang flags to incite crowds.

Cini argues that he did not incite any crowds, so he should not have been kicked off property. He says that he won't break the law though, so he won't be going back to Walt Disney World. However, he did say he will continue to fly Trump 2020 banners around the country and that the banners will get even bigger.

2. Dumbo would have been a better ride for that

3. Dion Cini?

Boy, that sounds like a foreign name to me. I wonder if he can prove he's a citizen?

4. His seat mate appears to be fed up. He's a douche

10. Yes, it was Dion Cini:

Cini told Newsweek he got mixed reactions, many of them positive, and said a lot of people were shocked that he would bring the banner to Disney World. While he stood behind his actions, his idea came at a cost. When Cini attempted to get into Epcot park on Monday, he was told he was banned from the Disney theme park.

A Disney spokeswoman told the Orlando Sentinel that the incident did occur but did not respond to further questions. Newsweek reached out to Disney World for comment on the incident but did not hear back in time for publication.

Cini had drawn responses to his support of the president in the past. The former Marine was criticized for hoisting a “Trump 2020” flag on his kayak in August 2017, CNN reported.

Cini also took credit for hanging a re-election banner at Yankee Stadium in July and at the Broadway play Frozen earlier this month. Cast member Timothy Hughes said he noticed the "Trump 2020" sign as the crew were taking their bows, and ripped the banner out of the person’s hands. He said the sign should not have been at a Disney musical.

“What does it say about our country and politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest Disney’s Frozen on Broadway with a pro-Trump flag?” Hughes said.

12. Ah... thanks! I see it was "Frozen" and not "Lion King"... but definitely the same jerk.

He's totally mental.

7. Imagine being on that ride and wanting a souvenir photo

And having it be marred by that crap

[alphafemale]

13. It also looks like he may have knocked the head of the person next to him.

Look at the angle of the head.

Jerk.

8. The irony in this is that Twitler would never ride SPLASH Mtn. Too wet!!!

[thesquanderer]

9. I think Trump wanted to ride Splash Mountain...

...until he was told that the ride didn't actually include any russian hookers.

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[ProudLib72]

14. Ummm, did no one see him get on the ride holding the sign?

For that matter, did no one see him wandering around Disney World toting the sign?

[LakeSuperiorView]

15. Looks like he uses fabric banners.

Easy to fold up and hide in a pocket.

Reminds me of people that expose themselves by flashing. They get kicked out of Disney as well.
