Disney Refuses To Say If Man Who Posted Photos Of Women In Park Bathroom Will Be Banned
A man dressed as a woman paraded photos of himself in 10 women’s bathrooms in Florida’s Disney World in a Tuesday Instagram post. The photos posted showed him ranking the different bathrooms on a scale of one to 10 and included other women in the background of the photos.
The man, going by the name Lilly Contino, thanked Disney for allowing him to use the women’s bathrooms, saying in his post, “Shoutout to @disneyparks for creating a safe space in the hellscape that is Florida.”
Despite the concern on the post’s comment section and on X, Disney has not taken any action to keep Contino out of the parks. When The Federalist reached out to Disney for comment, they did not respond.
Under Florida Statute title XLVI Chapter 810 section 145, “for the amusement, entertainment…” it is a felony for anyone who “intentionally uses or intentionally installs an imaging device to secretly view, broadcast, or record a person without that person’s knowledge and consent who is dressing, undressing, or privately exposing the body, at a place and time when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.”
Although Contino did not seemingly take photos of any private parts, he did take photos for entertainment reasons with women using the restroom in the background who would reasonably expect some privacy at Disney World.
This isn’t the first time Contino has shared what some people would deem as private information to the public. The 32-year-old man posts content on Instagram about being a “trans girl on a mission”. His mission includes educating viewers on his transition process like Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS), a surgery that alters a face through sawing down the jaw bone, cutting the scalp to move the hairline lower, shaving the bone above the eye socket, and shaving down the Adam’s apple. His mission also includes taking photos in women’s bathrooms.
Despite Disney having “gender-neutral restrooms” called “companion restrooms,” Contino went into the women’s restrooms. Contino also said in a post documenting the experience that he “peed standing up,” an obvious sign that he’s probably in the wrong restroom.
He continued to post about his “trans girl mission” in a video of him being “misgendered” at a Disney restaurant. He told the server he didn’t want the food he ordered anymore because the server said “yes sir” to him.
Despite the server’s apology, Contino said “I don’t feel safe anymore.”
Kaitlyn Wheeler, an advocate for women’s sports, expressed her concern over Contino’s video.
The “Happiest Place on Earth” left many other people unhappy on X after Contino posted the photos.
Contino’s Instagram comment section gave plenty of pushback as well.
“Well you shouldn’t really be filming and taking pictures in there. It won’t help your cause,” one user said.
Disney got rid of “gendered language” from their park greetings in 2022, Fox News reported. To help create more “magical moments” for kids who don’t go by their biological sex, park goers will no longer be greeted as “ladies and gentlemen” or “boys and girls,” Disney’s DEI manager said in a video posted on X by journalist Christopher Rufo.
Despite the company’s silence on this particular incident, Disney has banned its fair share of people.
In 2023, two individuals were banned from Disney World after fighting over a photo, NBC News reported. Disney Resort also banned influencer Christopher Martin after they sued the influencer for copyright infringement, Florida Politics reported in 2023. A Florida man was also banned from the parks after allegedly trying to sneak in cocaine, Local 12 reported. If you lie about your disabilities to Disney resorts, you could be banned for life, USA Today reported in a 2024 article.
People over the age of 14 are not allowed to wear costumes in the theme park, according to Disneyland.
But what happens if you’re a man taking photos in women’s bathrooms with other women clearly in the background? Apparently Disney is fine with remaining silent when a man plays dress-up as a woman to invade women’s spaces.
