A disgruntled Disney fan claims that he's been issued a life-long ban from Disney World.
TikTok user Jason Jeter, who also goes by the handle @showmelovejete on the platform, alleged in a video posted on Tuesday, May 4, that he was permanently banned from the theme park in Orlando, Florida, after being accused of trespassing.
Jeter recently uploaded the following video on the subject of his alleged ban:In a video that the self-described Disney fanatic shared with his 1 million followers, Jeter alleges that security at the theme park circled his car while he was parked outside the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
He tells his followers in the clip:
"The worst happened. As soon as I get out of the car, Orange County Police Department pulls up.
"[They said] 'Hi, Jason Jeter, we have a trespass warning for you from Disney. You’re no longer allowed on the property.'"
Displaying a yellow Orange County Sheriff's Department trespass warning, Jeter then adds:
"Then they’re like: 'hey, also, just to add insult to injury, It’s a lifetime ban. I can never go back to Disney. Ever."
The clip instantly became a hit on the app, racking up over 6 million views and 31,000 comments as of the time of writing.
In another video posted to his TikTok on March 19, titled "I Got Fired From Disney", Jeter claims that he used to work as an employee at the park, but lost his job back in March after posting two controversial videos to his channel.
The TikTok user says his manager terminated his contract after he received an email from Walt Disney Company executives, who took issue with his Disney-themed content.
The first clip shows him entering a Disney wedding venue at the Grand Floridian Resort, closed to the public at the time of recording.
Meanwhile, the second clip apparently involved Jeter promoting a bottle company by filling one of their containers with water from a fountain at the park and then drinking from it.
According to Inside The Magic, the social media user made a similar video about drinking from Universal Studios Orlando's water fountains, but TikTok repeatedly deleted it from the social media platform.
He then subsequently uploaded the video to YouTube, but the footage has since been removed from the platform.

A woman who visited Disney World claimed that she was "dress-coded" by theme park staff and refused entry.
Per the New York Post, TikTok user Nicole DeLosReyes - who goes by the handle @nicole.delosreyes on the social media platform - posted a video on May 10 of herself leaving the Epcot park in Florida.
In the video, she says: "Guys it happened. I got dress-coded at Disney, and I was told to leave or get a shirt, So, now we’re getting a shirt."
In the seven-second clip, DeLosReyes showed her followers that she had been wearing a white, knot-front top. The video has amassed more than 9.4 million views, 1.5 million likes, and over 5,600 comments.
Check out her video below:After posting the video on the social media platform, users were divided on the organization's dress code policy.
One user clarified that Disney may have reasons for the dress code policy: "They [Disney] don’t allow tops held together by ties/strings bc they could come undone or get caught on something on rides."
Another joked and said: "[Your top is] not even that revealing... they know Ariel wears a seashell bra right?"
A third commented: "What is wrong with what you are wearing? You are there as a customer? I think you look cute and should be comfortable."
A fourth seemingly agreed with Disney's policy and said: "It's not the club."
DeLosReyes later revealed that she was stopped at the entrance of Epcot and asked to change because they don't allow tie front tops.
She described the rule as "wack" and said she had to either leave and change or buy merch.
The content creator also reiterated that she didn't "purposely" wear a tie front top after a few online users suspected that she did in order to get a free t-shirt: "I didn't do it on purpose. I don't care for a free damn shirt I just wasted a cute fit."
On the official Disney World website, the company states: "Disney reserves the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other Guests."
It adds that this can include: "Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment."
VT has reached out to Disney Parks for an opportunity to comment.

On Friday, President Donald Trump announced to reporters aboard Air Force One that he intends to use his powers to ban the Chinese video-sharing social networking platform TikTok in the United States.
The POTUS made the comments as he returned to Washington following a fundraising trip to Florida. He said:
"As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States."
Trump then described the ban as "severance" and revealed that he could sign an order as soon as today (Saturday, August 1). He added: "Well, I have that authority. It’s going to be signed tomorrow."
"I can do it with an executive order or that," the President said, referring to emergency economic powers.
Now, stars in the TikTok community have taken to social media to react to the news that the app could soon be banished from the US.
In an emotional video to her near eight million followers, a teary-eyed Hope Schwing wrote: "Posted this during the first scare. Now I’m a bit more nervous. Thank you for changing my life."

In the video, she explained that TikTok is more than just an app, and that for many people, it is a "family".
The text on-screen of the video reads: "I never thought anyone would watch my videos, but here we are. This isn't just an app. It's a family. Each and every one [sic] of you have changed my life for the better ... You have all made so many of my dreams come true at such a young age. I love you. Thank you."
Baby Ariel - real name Ariel Martin - is one of TikTok's most-followed users, having amassed 34.5 million followers on the platform at the age of 19. She tweeted simply: "i hate donald trump".

TikTok is a video-sharing social media service owned by the Beijing-based internet technology company ByteDance.
ByteDance launched TikTok back in 2017, and after purchasing Musical.ly - a video service popular with teens in the US and Europe - and combined the two.
The platform currently has roughly 800 million active users worldwide, and allows its users to create short dance, lip-sync, comedy, or talent videos, as well as simply sharing moments of their day-to-day lives.
In response to President Trump's comments, a spokesperson for TikTok said in a statement:
"We've hired nearly 1,000 people to our US team this year alone, and are proud to be hiring another 10,000 employees into great paying jobs across the US.
"Our $1 billion creator fund supports US creators who are building livelihoods from our platform."
The spokesperson added that the company is committed to the privacy of its 100 million users in the US, saying:
"TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok's biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users' privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform."
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1289412933991174144]]
In addition, the American Civil Liberties Union tweeted that Trump's plan was "a danger to free expression."
Per The Washington Post, Trump's comments come after he signed an order forcing ByteDance to sell the US portion of social network TikTok due to national security concerns.
Sky News states that the US has long accused China of stealing the intellectual property of US citizens, costing the economy billions of dollars and thousands of residents their jobs. Beijing has strongly denied these accusations.
Microsoft is understood to be in the lead to acquire the platform's US service but has yet to release a statement on Trump's recent comments.

People say politics are ruining everything these days, from NFL games to late night talk shows to Broadway plays. Well, now politics are even ruining The Most Magical Place On Earth.
Walt Disney World has banned a man for displaying a 'Trump 2020' sign while riding Splash Mountain. When passengers ride the rollicking log flume, a camera suddenly snaps their photo, which is available for purchase afterward. In these photos, people typically scream, or pretend to be asleep, or show off an engagement ring. However, Dion Cini chose to hold up a huge political banner, spoiling other peoples' experience to make an obnoxious political statement.
[[facebookwidget||https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157549618099587&set=a.10150091992354587&type=3&theater]]
Trump supporters might be quick to argue that this is all about politics, however, Cini clearly broke the rules. According to Disney World’s website, the park's "prohibited activities" include "unauthorized events, demonstrations or speeches, or the usage of any flag, banner or sign for commercial purposes, or to incite a crowd." That means Cini would have gotten banned, whether he held 'Trump 2020' sign, a "Hillary 2020' sign or a 'Voldemort 2020' sign.
A representative for Disney World confirmed that Cini's ban "has nothing to do with politics or content of the banner." The spokesperson told Fox News, "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. We have previously reminded this guest about our rules."
That's right, this is the second time Cini has been banned from Disney World. In September, the annual pass holder waved a Trump 2020 banner over the Main Street Train Station. Employees at the Magic Kingdom "paused" Cini's pass, so they discuss the park's polices with him. Considering it was a first offense, they allowed him to back to come back. But after this stunt, the MAGA-hatted Trump supporter will not be allowed on the property.
Evidently, Cini enjoys waving Trump signs, flags and banners in public locations, a mission he's dubbed "Operation Flag Drop." On Facebook, he shared his Splash Mountain photo-bomb, and a picture of the note from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. It reads: "Trespassed from all of Walt Disney World properties to include, but not limited to, Theme Parks, Water Parks Resorts and Disney Springs. Conduct not welcome on WDW Property."
In comments, many people criticized Cini for his behavior. "*Takes hazardous item on a moving ride* *Gets banned* ‘They did it because it said Trump," wrote one Facebook user. Another commented, "I'm pretty sure [if] you rode on the ride with [a] sign that said Disney is the best [then you’d] still be banned." A third wrote, "If I paid for memory maker and this was in my family's picture, or covering my child behind you, I would be livid. I don't care if the sign was for the other party. There's a time and a place for that. And Disney World is not the place, I'm glad they banned you."
And now that Cini is banned, we made Disney World great again.

A woman has revealed how a Disney vacation photo helped her discover how her husband had been having an affair with the family's nanny.
Earlier this week, TikTok user Natalie - who goes by the handle @ibizadaze on the social media platform - shared a video showing what many would assume to be an innocent family vacation pic to Disney World in Florida.
The snap shows members of her family - including herself, her now ex-husband, and the family's nanny - all riding on Splash Mountain at the Magic Kingdom.
Natalie captioned the video: "We went to Disneyland in Orlando and took the nanny with us. To help with the kids…. Not the husband."
Check out Natalie's video below:Within the video, she also writes: "I was going through old photos and came across more than one where they were a little too close..."
The post has since amassed more than 1.4 million views and over 1,300 comments, with many TikTokers not only stunned by what they were seeing, but also demanding to know more about Natalie's story.
One person commented: "She even has her head on his shoulder [...] if I saw that photo, I wouldn't EVER think they weren't married."
"Omg they were basically embracing," a second added.
There were also many nannies in the comments section explaining how they would have definitely sat with the child or the mom before sitting next to the dad.
In highly-anticipated follow-up videos, Natalie explained that the family actually took two nannies on the vacation, as their children were three and four years old at the time. Also, as some of you may have predicted, the ex-husband and the nanny are now in a relationship together.
Natalie revealed that although her ex-husband has been "quite lovely and remorseful" following their break-up, the nanny "has been quite the opposite".
In the comments section, she explained that she confronted the nanny and her ex after having a "gut feeling" about their affair.
After admittedly going "apes**t" when she found out, the nanny even filed a police report against her.
And they say Disney is the happiest place on Earth... eh?
