Some social media posts claim Disney World is changing its theme park bathrooms to be more inclusive. But don’t get flushed — this claim originated on a satirical website.

A Feb. 25 Instagram reel’s narrator said, “Disney World is adding urinals to the women’s restrooms.”

The video showed footage of the entrance to Disney World’s Rapunzel-themed restroom, followed by footage of a bathroom with urinals.

The video claims to quote a Disney spokesperson who said, “Adding urinals to the women’s restrooms provides a safer and more inclusive atmosphere for everyone.”

Commenters on the Instagram post said, “Yet another reason to BOYCOTT DISNEY,” and “Making a large amount of people uncomfortable to make a small amount of people comfortable is insane.”

This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)

Walt Disney Co. spokesperson Melissa Britt told PolitiFact this claim is “not accurate.”

At the end of the Instagram video, the narrator says to visit “mousetrapnews.com” for more information. What the narrator doesn’t say is that Mouse Trap News describes itself as “the world’s best satire and parody site” and says it writes “fake stories” about Disney.

The same video in the Instagram post was shared on Mouse Trap News’ TikTok and Instagram accounts. The satirical website also wrote a Feb. 8 story about the supposed bathroom change.
