On Aug. 22, 2022, a rumor began to spread on TikTok that Walt Disney World Resort was going to be demolishing and removing Cinderella Castle after the Orlando park's 50th anniversary. However, worry not, Disney Parks fans -- this was nothing more than satire from a fun-filled Disney blog. The video came from TikTok user @mousetrapnews: During the video, the narrator said that Cinderella Castle would be removed from Disney World and that the announcement came out of the blue: Several commenters who received quite a few likes on their remarks appeared to believe that the news was real. The Magic Kingdom Castle is the whole part of Walt Disney World, one person posted. Another user commented in all capital letters, saying, THEY BETTER NOT REMOVE CINDERELLA'S CASTLE. CINDERELLA IS MY FAVORITE PRINCESS AND THE ONLY REASON I REALLY GO TO DISNEY ANYMORE. A third person said, Why?! It is an iconic piece of Disney. There was no shortage of similar comments. At the end of the TikTok video, viewers were asked to visit The Mouse Trap blog on mousetrapnews.com for more details. Part of the article read as follows: In the TikTok bio for @mousetrapnews, it said, Real Disney News That Is 100% Fake. The Moused Trusted Name in Disney News. There were also hints that the article was satire near the end of the story. The About page on The Mouse Trap blog said that the satire website was created on a whim to have some fun: In sum, no, Disney World wasn't planning on demolishing or removing Cinderella Castle. This was nothing more than satire published on a Disney blog. For further reading, we previously reported on another bit of satire that came from The Mouse Trap blog that said Disney Parks would be lowering the drinking age to 18.
