Rebel Wilson says she was banned from Disneyland after romantic proposal for rule break

Rebel Wilson revealed she got banned from Disneyland after breaking park rules during her romantic proposal to her now-fiancée Ramona Agruma.

The 43-year-old actress announced her engagement on Instagram last month and has now admitted she accidentally took an "illegal photo" which resulted in a temporary ban from the theme park.

"I did get banned from Disneyland for 30 days because I took a photo inside a secret bathroom, which is illegal, at Disneyland," she said during an appearance on The Daily Show.

Luckily, Disneyland bosses were understanding and tried to work the ban into her filming schedule.

Rebel explained: "I got officially banned for 30 days. They called me up and said, 'Rebel what 30 days did you not want to come to Disneyland because you're away filming a movie or something?'

"And I was like, 'Oh, well, June would be fine'."

Rebel also admitted recently that she had asked Disney CEO Bob Iger for permission to pop the question to Ramona at his theme park.

Appearing on the Drew Barrymore Show, she said: "He's the big, big boss and I thought, 'Well, if he says yes, then it was meant to be, and I was meant to propose that day at Disneyland'."

She added that it was "the most magical proposal place on Earth".

The Pitch Perfect star said she received "special permission" to rope off an area of the park, adding: "I had a violinist playing like Disney classics, and it was very, really romantic."

Revealing how she proposed, Rebel told the TV host: "I was like, 'Do I get down on one knee? What do I do?'

"And I was like, 'I may as well,' so I got down on one knee and then she was like, 'What are you doing?' and goes, 'Well, you can’t be the only one on your knee,' so she got down as well."

She added: "It was just beautiful and she said yes!"

Rebel and Ramona are reportedly looking to spread some Disney magic over their forthcoming nuptials with a "no expenses-spared wedding".

They're thought to be looking at Disneyland to provide a fairy-tale backdrop for their special day.

A source has since explained that Rebel is a "die-hard Disney lover" and they are really "considering having their dream wedding there".

"It is definitely their happy place and Rebel still feels like she is living a real-life fairy-tale," the insider told MailOnline.

But the pair will be looking to pay top dollar for a Disney wedding with the most popular vow location at Disney's Magic Kingdom setting couples back $30,000 (£25,000).
