LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - The man who admits to flying pro-Trump banners at Walt Disney World has just been banned from Disney -- again.
Dion Cini was captured holding a Trump 2020 banner on Splash Mountain. The ride picture reportedly came with a note from the Orange County Sheriff's Office saying that Cini trespassed and his conduct is not welcomed on Disney property. Cini says that after taking the picture, he was escorted off property and he is now banned from all Disney World properties, including the theme parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.
In September, Cini was pictured waving a Trump 2020 banner over the Main Street Train Station. He was banned from Disney property after this incident, but Disney allowed him to come back to the parks with the stipulation that he would not hang flags to incite crowds.
Cini argues that he did not incite any crowds, so he should not have been kicked off property. He says that he won't break the law though, so he won't be going back to Walt Disney World. However, he did say he will continue to fly Trump 2020 banners around the country and that the banners will get even bigger.

(81,404 posts)A Disney spokeswoman told the Orlando Sentinel that the incident did occur but did not respond to further questions. Newsweek reached out to Disney World for comment on the incident but did not hear back in time for publication.
Cini had drawn responses to his support of the president in the past. The former Marine was criticized for hoisting a Trump 2020 flag on his kayak in August 2017, CNN reported.
Cini also took credit for hanging a re-election banner at Yankee Stadium in July and at the Broadway play Frozen earlier this month. Cast member Timothy Hughes said he noticed the "Trump 2020" sign as the crew were taking their bows, and ripped the banner out of the persons hands. He said the sign should not have been at a Disney musical.
What does it say about our country and politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest Disneys Frozen on Broadway with a pro-Trump flag? Hughes said.

Reminds me of people that expose themselves by flashing. They get kicked out of Disney as well.
