Overview
A Southern California conservative group called the 805 Patriots announced plans for an unsanctioned "MAGA invasion" meetup at the Disneyland Resort on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026. The group published an invitation on Nov. 19 urging supporters to attend a day at the park alongside "like-minded patriots." The gathering is unofficial and not affiliated with Disneyland.
What organizers are asking attendees to do
The 805 Patriots, named after the Central Coast area code, encouraged followers to wear a "patriots in the park" T‑shirt and a red MAGA hat. Their social post said ordering a shirt would be treated as an RSVP and a sign that attendees had purchased park tickets. The organization is selling navy-blue apparel—T‑shirts, hoodies, kids' shirts and baby onesies—featuring a "Make Disney Great Again" design described as a Revolutionary War silhouette holding a Betsy Ross flag in front of a reimagined castle.
"This is to go have some fun by triggering as many liberals as possible in their home turf as well as giving conservative families at least one chance to take their kids to Disneyland," the group wrote in a Facebook comment.
Park rules and safety
Organizers advised participants not to bring MAGA flags, noting Disneyland's policy against flags inside the park. Disneyland, which regularly hosts fan-organized gatherings such as Dapper Days and Villains Days, is not involved with or endorsing this event and retains the right to deny entry for dress-code or other rule violations. Attendees should expect regular security screenings and observance of park policies.
Context
The 805 Patriots maintain a sizable online presence, with roughly 32,000 Instagram followers and about 11,000 followers on TikTok. According to the group, followers voted between several amusement parks for the meetup location, with Disneyland receiving the most votes. Separately, another community event—Gay Days Anaheim—has scheduled a "Mini Gay Days" meetup during the same weekend, Feb. 28, 2026.
What to watch
Because the gathering is unofficial, details such as a full agenda or formal permits were not published at the time of the announcement. Attendees and other park guests should monitor official Disneyland communications and local authorities for any updates or guidance ahead of the date.
