DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
For several years, a local anonymous skywriter has taken to the skies to send a message to Walt Disney World Resort Guests and the surrounding Central Florida area: “U + God = :)”
The seemingly harmless and good-natured message can be seen for miles and disappears mere minutes after the aerial acrobatics can be completed. Other variations of the positive messages include “Jesus Loves You” and “God Is Love.” The messages have always been positive in nature. But it seems that some Guests have taken offense to it.
One hater took a picture of one of the religious messages, saying “since when was magic kingdom not a no-fly zone? kinda don’t want this while I’m trying to enjoy a parade.”

Turns out this person is not the only one who takes umbrage with seeing a message of good will.
Another person said, “seeing this always puts a big bummer on my park day.”
A third said, “forget american atheists in this scenario, just think about all of the religions around the world and all of the people that are choosing to travel here. i know america is already so christianity-obsessed, but imagine how disrespected that must make people of other faiths feel.”

It should be noted that The Walt Disney World Resort still has a no-fly zone that prohibits any aircraft below 3,000 feet, and it is impossible to tell if the pilot is in violation of that or not.
While these offended Disney Adults have spoken out against this, it is unknown if it will be enough to cause authorities to ground the messenger.
We at Disney Fanatic will continue to update our readers on Disney Parks news and stories as more developments come to light.
I’m glad the messages are up there. I could care less if people of other countries and religions are offended. They can stay home. Their religions and countries have no concern about offending Christians or Americans visiting them. These same doofuses offended by a message in the sky that last for mere minutes are the same that find offense with the song Zip A Dee Doo Dah or the term “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages.
