Politics on Disney Cruising Sites

I just dropped my connection to https://www.facebook.com/groups/DisneyCruising/.

It was interesting…their title banner claimed 50000 members while facebook showed them just over 47000 so perhaps their behavior is already having an impact.

The site has a policy of ‘no political posts’. A member posted a pro-Trump picture on the site (a group appears to have hung a pro-Trump sign over the side of  one of the ships). When other members pointed it out, the admins stated that pro-Trump material was not (in their eyes) political but any protest related material would be considered political and removed. At that point they closed commenting on the post.

I visit Disney sites to see pictures of places that make me happy and images of happy people. I do not expect pictures with a political spin to be present but if they are I expect all sides to be represented and discussion to ensue. Any site with a posted set of rules that chooses to enforce those rules only when the admins whim directs isn’t doing its job properly.

I would encourage others to follow my lead and leave this group. There are plenty of well managed Disney related sites out there that aren’t pushing an agenda.

A friend just told me that this is an ‘under the radar’ commercial site as well. Selling product while pretending to be a fan site. Steer clear!
