Disneyland has been labeled as “the happiest place on earth,”. And most guests who enter the beloved theme park could attest to its cheerful atmosphere. But what many people wouldn’t expect is that it seems even the most famous of guests, like Barack Obama, can receive the unfortunate kick-out.
Yes, former president Barack Obama was once barred from entry to the renowned “Happiest Place on Earth,” Disneyland. In 2018, Obama made a surprising revelation during one of his speeches when he remembered his unfortunate experience from his college days.

Barack Obama received the boot at Disneyland
The unforgettable moment for Obama happened when he and a few of his college friends took a trip to the renowned amusement park. As the former president recalled, “I’m ashamed to say this, so close your ears young people, but a few of us were smoking on the gondolas”.
That’s when “two very large Disneyland police officers” came to approach his group and asked them to step outside. “They say, ‘Sir, can you come with us?’” Obama revealed. “And they escorted us out of Disneyland. This is a true story, everybody. I was booted from the Magic Kingdom”.
Though it is a surprising revelation, Obama is far from the only celebrity to be treated to this experience. Examples such as USWNT star Alex Morgan, Hollywood actress, and Ryan Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively have all found themselves in the same situation.
Blake Lively and Alex Morgan had the similar experience
Barack Obama was not barred from the park for his antics, unlike Blake Lively. When she was six years old, Blake Lively and her brother tried to sneak into Disney World. They were obviously caught, and the theme park banned them for a year. Ouch!

However, while all of these instances are from their early days, the one with Alex Morgan is not. Disney World kicked out Alex Morgan in 2017. Morgan went to Epcot with five other people. The group was taken out of the park for making a scene and being verbally abusive. Later, Morgan also expressed her regrets and apologized via Twitter.
I want to apologize for my actions that occurred over the weekend. I will learn from this make sure it does not happen again. #liveandlearn
