Donald Trump Lifts TikTok Ban, Disney Adults Return to App

Disney TikTok influencers found themselves in a state of uncertainty over the weekend as the platform briefly went dark in the U.S. While the shutdown was short-lived, President-Elect Donald Trump’s decision to grant a 90-day extension for the app has left many creators wondering what comes next.

For Disney fans, TikTok has been a go-to space for sharing park experiences, from attraction tips to character meet-and-greets. The sudden disruption forced many influencers to consider alternative ways to reach their audiences, with some directing fans to Instagram and YouTube to stay connected. Others voiced concerns over the potential long-term effects a permanent ban could have on their communities.

Influencers who rely heavily on TikTok for their Disney content are now considering backup strategies, including developing their presence on Pinterest, Facebook groups, and even LinkedIn for networking purposes. The uncertainty surrounding the platform has encouraged creators to build email lists and explore partnerships with brands to ensure their reach remains strong.

As he prepares to take office, Trump now seems open to reconsidering TikTok’s future in the U.S. “We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation,” he stated, acknowledging the complexity of the issue. Meanwhile, bipartisan efforts continue to pressure TikTok to sell to an American company, leaving influencers in limbo about the app’s fate.

In a separate yet related development, Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents will be temporarily closing to make way for the return of Donald Trump’s animatronic figure. The attraction, known for featuring lifelike versions of all U.S. presidents, has long been a subject of discussion among Disney fans. With Trump’s addition, opinions remain divided on whether the update will enhance or detract from the historical significance of the show.

The Hall of Presidents has always served as an educational experience, and many are hoping that its integrity remains intact despite any political discourse.

As the 90-day extension unfolds, Disney influencers are encouraging their followers to explore other platforms to keep up with the latest park updates and magical content. Whether it’s park vlogs, merchandise reviews, or Disney-inspired DIYs, the Disney community remains dedicated to sharing the magic—no matter what platform they use.

Fans are also urged to sign up for email newsletters and follow creators across various social media channels to stay in the loop, ensuring they don’t miss out on their favorite content if TikTok faces future challenges.
