Even celebrities aren't immune to the allure of Disney. Sure, many of them are cultured and wordly and have seen and experienced things most of us couldn't even fathom, but there's still something that's just so special about Disney. Celebs are often spotted at both Disneyland and Disney World. They do, after all, have tons of disposable income and access to VIP perks, and many Hollywood celebrities live near the happiest place on Earth's park in Anaheim, California.
That's not to mention the fact that a lot of celebrities work for the Disney corporation or one of its subsidiaries (or have in the past), and get to bring along their families for special promotional events and appearances. Some stars, including Mariah Carey and Kim Kardashian, have even rented out the entire park to celebrate their kids' birthdays. Sounds totally over-the-top, but would you expect anything less?
Disney is undoubtedly magical, and just like the rest of us, lots of celebrities are willing to put up with the crowds — and in their case, the ever-present paparazzi — for a chance to let loose and have some family fun at Disney World or Disneyland. Keep scrolling to see some of your favorite stars living it up with Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of the gang.
Drew & Brittany Brees
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and his wife, Brittany, recently brought their four young kids — Rylen, Bowen, Callen, and Baylen — to meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse at Disneyland. It looked like their entire crew was beyond happy to be there spending some quality time together.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey and her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, are big Disney fans. They pop up at the parks regularly, and back in 2017 Mariah and the twins' dad, Nick Cannon, actually shut down Disneyland for Roc and Roe's sixth birthday, which of course, was complete with appearances from some of Disney's most famous characters.
Chrissy Teigen & John Legend
In April 2022, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend went on a family trip to Disneyland with their two kids, Luna and Miles, in honor of Luna's sixth birthday. Their firstborn dressed up like Aladdin's Princess Jasmine for the occasion and looked like she was having an absolute blast.
Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker
As a mom of three kids, it's no surprise that Kourtney Kardashian visits Disneyland quite often. We've seen pictures of her and the kids at the park on numerous occasions throughout the years. Now that she's blended her family with her fiancé Travis Barker's, which includes his three older kids, they show up with quite the crew.
Jensen Ackles
Evidently, actor Jensen Ackle's wife, Danneel, lets their kids decide what to do on her birthday, and in 2022 they wanted Disney. The couple spent the day at Disneyland with their three kids, and it looks like they pulled out all the stops, including birthday cake for Danneel at the park.
Candace Cameron Bure
Actress Candace Cameron Bure put on her puffy coat and met up with friends and family for a day of fun at Disneyland in early 2022. She seemed to embrace the magic in every moment, dancing and singing throughout the park, going on plenty of rides, and enjoying some treats, too. Disney definitely brings out the little kid in us all!
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner is a Disney fan just like her famous sisters, and although her daughter, Stormi, is only 4, she's already been a few times. Kylie even took her brother Rob Kardashian's daughter, Dream, to Disneyland with her, Stormi, and beau Travis Scott in 2021, before she had her second child.
Ashley Benson & Kristen Stewart
Maybe we've been living under a rock, but we didn't even know actors Ashley Benson and Kristen Stewart were friends until Ashley posted a photo of them and several other people wearing matching tie-dye sweatshirts at Disneyland together, with a caption reading, "Family trips to Disney." Looks like they were having a blast!
Vanessa Hudgens
Former Disney channel star Vanessa Hudgens still loves the mouse. She brought a massive crew of family and friends, including her mom and boyfriend, out to the park during the Christmas holidays in 2021. "Most magical place on earthhhhh," she captioned her photo slideshow.
Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson and her two kids, River and Remington, enjoyed a vacation together at Disney World in the summer of 2021. "We had so much fun at Disney World! All the rides were amazing, but oh my gosh, y'all, Pandora and the Star Wars rides are where it's at! Thank you for a magical vacation, Disney," Kelly gushed on Instagram.
The Jonas Brothers
Also former Disney Channel stars, it's not uncommon for one or all of the Jonas Brothers to visit Disney parks on occasion. Nick, Joe, and Kevin were on hand to check out the newly opened Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge attraction at Walt Disney World in the summer of 2019.
Ashlee Simpson Ross & Evan Ross
Ashlee Simpson Ross and husband Evan Ross love taking their kids to Disneyland. They've been spotted there as a family on multiple occasions, including at least once with Ashlee's big sister, Jessica Simpson. This picture is from before Ashlee gave birth to her third child in 2020.
Christina Aguilera
Former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera still believes in the magic of Disney — as do her kids, apparently. She brought her two children, Max and Summer, to Disneyland in 2020 to celebrate the animated film Mulan's 20th anniversary, all decked out in Disney gear. Christina of course was the original singer of the song "My Reflection" from the movie's soundtrack.
Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen
NFL star Tom Brady and his family are picture-perfect, aren't they? That image would not be complete without a picture-perfect visit to Disney. Tom and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen, were photographed in 2013 — when their kids were just 5 and 3 — enjoying just that.
AJ McLean
Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean has two young daughters, so suffice it to say, he's had plenty of Disney days. In March 2021, he and his wife, Rochelle, celebrated their daughter Lyric's fifth birthday at Disneyland. We're sure their little girl had the best time ever. They both look so happy!
Ciara & Vanessa Bryant
Besties Ciara and Vanessa Bryant took their kids to Disney in the spring of 2021, and while it looked like they had their hands full, they all seemed to be having the most fun ever. How many of us wish we could pack up our crew for a day at Disney with our best friends and their kids?! Sounds epic.
Nick & Vanessa Lachey
As if Nick and Vanessa Lachey could be any cuter! When they masked up for a safe and healthy trip to Disney with their kids in the spring of 2021, it was clear that they were beyond happy to be out enjoying some Mickey-fueled fun together. Looks like it was a beautiful day for it.
Pink
Singer Pink's kids, Willow and Jameson, got into character for a trip to Disney a few years back. Willow donned a Cinderella dress, while Jameson strutted around the park dressed as Woody from Toy Story. "Proud Mama. Why does she look like she works there, though? She legit looks like she's being paid for this photo #ilovedisney," Pink jokingly captioned a post on Instagram.
Jessica Alba
In the summer of 2021, Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren took their son, Hayes, to Disney for the first time. Grandparents and friends joined them for the occasion, and everyone appeared to be having an awesome time. We've spotted Jessica at Disney with her older two children, daughters Honor and Haven, on multiple occasions as well.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
We're not exactly sure why, but Sarah Michelle Gellar seems exactly the type of person who would be a huge Disney fan. She visited Disneyland with family in September 2021, just after the park got all decked out for Halloween. She evidently was beyond impressed by the park's Star Wars section.
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria also brought her toddler son, Santiago, to Disney in 2021, and she seemed to enjoy the kiddie rides even more than he did. "You're never too old for @disneyland ♥️ #TheMagicIsHere #LaMagiaTeEspera," she captioned a photo on Instagram. So cute!
Jay-Z
Blue Ivy Carter has probably been to Disney parks a million times, but fans were still surprised to see her and her famous dad, Jay-Z, just casually strolling around Disneyland early in 2022. Mom Beyoncé was nowhere in sight, but Jay-Z evidently went along with Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson, and Chris' teenagers, Apple and Moses.
