On May 17, 2021, Uncle Walt’s Insider published an article positing that Disneyland Texas announced that it would be dropping mask requirements for guests. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Only the most super-reliable theme park news from the most super-reliable theme park gurus. All stories internally peer-reviewed for minimum 17% accuracy. And for the record, there is no Disneyland park in Texas. Uncle Walt’s Insider publishes Disney and amusement park-themed magical fake news and satire. Snopes has written about claims made by the website before (here and here) and the satirical site has in turn fact-checked our investigations — satirically, of course. In an article published in July 2018, the satirical site wrote that Uncle Walt’s Insider does produce satire and admitted that our description of them as a relatively obscure satirical website, while technically true, kind of hurts. No hard feelings, Uncle Walt’s Insider. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
