Celebrities Who Have Been Banned From Entering Disney Parks

by

Disney parks work hard to keep a family-friendly environment for all visitors, and they have rules everyone is expected to follow. Even famous celebrities aren’t exempt from these rules, and can face consequences like being kicked out or temporarily banned if they misbehave. There have been reports of several well-known individuals facing these consequences for things like violating the dress code or acting inappropriately on rides, proving that Disney holds everyone to the same standards.

Rebel Wilson

Okay, so I heard this crazy story about Rebel Wilson! Apparently, she got banned from Disney World for thirty days. It all happened because she took a picture in a secret bathroom inside Club 33 – that super exclusive, members-only area. Disney is really serious about the privacy of Club 33 members, and photos aren’t allowed in certain spots. She even said they asked her which month would work best for her to stay away! Can you believe it? Thirty days for a bathroom selfie! It’s a pretty wild story, even for Disney.

Blake Lively

Before becoming famous, Blake Lively got in trouble with a theme park when she was a child. At age six, she was banned for a year after trying to get in without a ticket. She and her brother tried to trick security by transferring a hand stamp from someone who had already paid onto their own hands, but they were caught in the parking lot and received a year-long suspension.

Robert Downey Jr.

Before becoming famous as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. had a run-in with security at Disneyland in the 1980s. He was reportedly caught smoking marijuana while on the Skyway ride—a now-closed attraction that took guests above the park. Downey has jokingly talked about the incident, pointing out how funny it is that he later became a major star for Disney through his role in the Marvel movies.

Bruce Springsteen

A famous rock star was asked to leave Disneyland in the 1980s after breaking their clothing rules. He and his guitarist, Steven Van Zandt, were wearing bandanas, which park security considered unacceptable because of concerns about gang affiliations. Instead of taking the bandanas off, they decided to end their visit and leave the park.

Steven Van Zandt

When Bruce Springsteen was asked to remove his bandana at a theme park, Steven Van Zandt stood with him in protest and was also asked to leave. Van Zandt later joked about how ridiculous it was to be kicked out for a clothing choice. The incident is now a well-known story about the strict dress code rules at Disney parks.

Grace Jones

Model and singer Jones is said to have been permanently banned from all Disney properties after a shocking performance at Disney World’s House of Blues. According to reports, she exposed herself on stage and lit a cigarette during the show, both of which broke the venue’s rules and went against Disney’s family-friendly values. Because of these actions, she is no longer allowed on Disney property.

Barack Obama

You know, even presidents have embarrassing stories from their youth! I heard this one about Barack Obama – apparently, when he was in college, he was asked to leave Disneyland. Can you believe it? He was caught smoking on the Skyway ride! It wasn’t a lifetime ban or anything, but he definitely got the boot for the day. He’s talked about it himself in interviews, admitting it was a dumb thing to do and that park security acted fast. It’s a funny story, though – proves nobody’s above the rules, even future leaders!

Leonardo DiCaprio

For years, people have told stories about a young Leonardo DiCaprio getting kicked out of Disneyland. The rumors say he either misbehaved near a slide or, according to some versions, even used a bush as a restroom. While the exact details aren’t clear, it’s widely believed his visit ended early because he broke the park’s rules. This happened long before he became famous and won an Academy Award.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber has apparently had some issues at Disney parks, sparking talk that he might be banned. One story claims he was asked to leave after hitting a Mickey Mouse character, though this might be an overblown account of an argument. There’s also a report that he kicked a flag, upsetting park employees. While he’s visited the parks since then, some sources say he was kicked out during a period when he was acting out.

Amy Robach

After T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach were fired from ABC – which is owned by Disney – due to their relationship, they were also reportedly barred from visiting Disney parks. This decision appears to have been a way for Disney to distance itself from the couple and the scandal. Since then, Holmes and Robach have started a podcast where they discuss their lives after the controversy, including their departure from ABC.

Banksy

Banksy, the famous street artist, is almost certainly not allowed in Disney parks anymore. Back in 2006, he famously snuck an inflatable doll – designed to look like a prisoner from Guantanamo Bay – into Disneyland and placed it on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride. It stayed there for over an hour before anyone noticed, causing the ride to temporarily close while security removed it. Because of this security breach and the political message behind the artwork, Banksy would probably be turned away if park officials knew who he was.

John Lennon

A famous story about Disneyland tells of John Lennon of The Beatles being one of the first big celebrities asked to leave. It happened during the ‘Summer of Love’ in the 1960s when he was allegedly seen smoking marijuana while riding the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Disney security quickly stepped in and removed him from the park due to the illegal activity. This incident has become a well-known tale, highlighting the contrast between the free-spirited counterculture of the time and Disney’s strict rules.
