Disneyland braces for ‘MAGA Invasion’ and counter-protesters

Trump supporters planning an “invasion” of Disneyland while wearing MAGA hats and Make Disney Great Again t-shirts will be met by flag-waving counter-protesters at the front gate of the Anaheim theme park promising to “stand against hate.”

The Disneyland MAGA Invasion and Disneyland Raza Invasion will both be at the theme park on Saturday, Feb. 28, according to social media posts by the rival groups.

The Patriots in the Park event, presented by 805 Patriots, promises to make their voices heard while visiting Disneyland on Saturday in support of a “return to American roots and classic values,” according to an Facebook post by the group.

The Brown Berets of California plan a “peaceful and united” counter protest on Saturday from 7 to 11 a.m. outside of Disneyland’s main entrance, according to an Instagram post by the group.

The 805 Patriots political activist group based in Central California’s 805 area code organizes flag runs in support of President Trump and conservative causes.

Brown Berets of California is a Chicano community organization that speaks out against immigration raids and other Trump administration policies, according to LAist.

The Patriots in the Park event will also be bumping up against a Gay Days event at Disneyland on Saturday.

“This overlap is coincidental and both groups intend to enjoy the park without interference,” according to an 805 Patriots Facebook post.

Patriots in the Park attendees are encouraged to wear red MAGA hats and blue Make Disney Great Again t-shirts. Attendees are discouraged from bringing American or MAGA flags to Disneyland.

“This meetup is strictly recreational,” according to an 805 Patriots Facebook post. “It is not a march, protest, demonstration or political action.”

Patriots in the Park and Disneyland Raza Invasion are not Disneyland resort events.

The Disneyland MAGA Invasion appears to be similar to many of the unaffiliated and unofficial events held at Disneyland — like Gay Days, Dapper Day, Bats Days and the MiceChat Gumball Rally — that are not officially sanctioned by Disney.

Protests like the Disneyland Raza Invasion are often held outside the park entrance on the public sidewalk along Harbor Boulevard.

Disneyland reserves the right to deny admission to anyone wearing inappropriate attire that detracts from the guest experience, according to the park’s rules and regulations. Flags, signs, disruptive conduct and demonstrations are not allowed in the theme park.

“The goal is simply to enjoy the day, move through the park as regular visitors and experience the attractions without drawing unnecessary attention or creating disruptions,” according to an 805 Patriots Facebook post.

Trump and his administration have targeted Disney’s diversity, equity and inclusion practices, threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcasting licenses following critical coverage and applauded the brief suspension of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

“I love supporting 805 events,” Mistress Fox wrote on Facebook. “But I won’t give Disney my money.”
