Celebrity
Nothing says family more than a pair of Mickey Mouse ears, princess gowns, and matching, custom-made shirts.
A trip to Disney World will brighten any grown-up or kid’s days. But Mickey and Minnie Mouse are not the only stars you could see hanging around Cinderella’s castle. The most magical place in the world is also an ideal vacation spot for a few celebrity families. From Serena Williams and Busy Philipps to Ciara and Russell Wilson and Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, plenty of celeb parents have taken a break from Rodeo Drive to hang out on Main Street USA. Yes, you never knew who you may be standing in line behind for It’s A Small World ride or a FastPass.
Like most companies, Disney is currently working on reviving itself from the pandemic, which caused the theme park to close for almost a year. In May, Disney World did away with its outdoor mask policy, but according to Visit Florida, tourist numbers should be back up and normal by early next year. Not to mention, the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World is approaching this October.
As life has slowly been getting back to normal, like the rest of us, celeb parents have been clearing their schedules for some much-needed, family time at both Disneyland in California and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. With that said, it may be worth taking a second look at that person behind you on Space Mountain. It could be one of those familiar faces!
