After Disney officials reinstated his annual pass following the original incident, Dion Cini told [WFTV](https://www.wftv.com/news/local/back-at-it-disney-passholder-displays-pro-trump-signs-at-park-gets-banned-again/871736237) that he wanted to “test” the [park rule’s](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/park-rules/) against using “any flag, banner or sign…to incite a crowd.” “I wanted to actually abide by their rules, and not hold up a flag to incite a crowd, but I kind of wanted to test them,” he said. “I just really wanted to find out whether or not it had to do with unfurling a flag, or what was written on the flag.” Cini has now been banned from all Walt Disney World properties, including theme parks, water parks, resorts and Disney Springs, for holding up a “Trump 2020” sign on Splash Mountain and a “Keep America Great” sign on Expedition Everest. “Walt Disney World welcomes all guests to enjoy our parks; however, demonstrations and the display of signs and banners is not permitted on the premises,” a Disney spokesperson told TIME. “We have previously reminded this guest about our rules.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5453647/disney-world-trump-sign/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5453647/disney-world-trump-sign/"},"headline":"Trump Supporter Banned From Disney World for Waving 'Trump 2020' Sign on Splash Mountain","datePublished":"2018-11-13T21:30:13.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T16:29:33.000Z","description":"Dion Cini has been permanently barred from the theme park","url":"https://time.com/5453647/disney-world-trump-sign/","keywords":["Newsfeed","politics","Disney World","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2285943bd9e39742/69893f02656a3f4f6abd5f7f/disney-world-trump-sign.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2285943bd9e39742/69893f02656a3f4f6abd5f7f/disney-world-trump-sign.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Disney-World-Trump-Sign","caption":"Statue of Walt Disney and Micky Mouse at the entrance to the magic kingdom at Disney World.","creditText":"John Greim/LightRocket via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5453647/disney-world-trump-sign/","name":"Trump Supporter Banned From Disney World for Waving 'Trump 2020' Sign on Splash Mountain"}}]}] ```
