In a recent buzzworthy incident, a Disneyland Resort guest was escorted out of the park for trying to promote cryptocurrency right at the entrance! This unusual episode occurred over the summer, coinciding with the excitement of The Walt Disney Company’s D23 conference, where the company unveiled thrilling new updates for its entertainment and theme park offerings.
TikTok user LaTruce was quick to capture and share this quirky moment, posting two videos that went viral across social media. The first clip features the guest setting up a banner advertising Maneki, a type of cryptocurrency, right at Disneyland’s front gates. The banner’s bold display of digital currency drew immediate attention.
Disneyland cast members wasted no time in addressing the situation. Within minutes, a cast member approached the guest, informing them that their advertising stunt was not allowed and that they needed to leave the park immediately. The guest was promptly escorted off the property, much to the surprise of onlookers.

LaTruce’s video captured the moment perfectly, with a humorous remark noting, “If Walt were alive today, he’d be rolling in his grave.”
In the follow-up video, LaTruce emphasized, “They told the perpetrator he had to take it down and leave. Maybe Walter Knott wouldn’t notice, but this is Walter Disney! Can’t do that here, sonny boy!”

While Disneyland’s official rules do not explicitly list advertisements as a prohibited item, the park maintains the right to deny any bag, parcel, or other items at their discretion. This flexibility allows Disneyland to uphold its magical environment without unexpected interruptions.
It’s unclear whether this particular ban from Disneyland is temporary or permanent. However, it’s worth noting that such cryptocurrency-related incidents are rare in the theme park world. In contrast, there have been other memorable ejections, such as a guest being removed for walking around Disneyland nude last year.
Another notable case involved social media personality Jack Doherty, who faced bans from both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resorts earlier this year for undisclosed reasons.
For those planning a visit to Disneyland and curious about the park’s regulations, here’s a quick rundown of items you cannot bring into the park:
- Pets: Only service animals are allowed.
- Wagons
- Skateboards
- Scooters: Both motorized and non-motorized.
