Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner grabbed the attention of fans everywhere when she made a name for herself at the 2020 Games in Tokyo, having stepped in to compete in Simone Biles‘ place during the vault finals. Skinner ultimately took home the silver medal.
More recently, the blonde beauty was spotted spending time with friends and family at the Most Magical Place on Earth -- Walt Disney World.
MyKayla Skinner Visits Disney World
Mykala Skinner, 25, shared a handful of photos and videos to her Instagram Story, showing her having the time of her life at Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida.
The Olympic gymnast reposted photos from her sister, Chelsea Barney, one of which was of the two girls standing in front of the iconic Animal Kingdom sign. They were in matching outfits -- a white t-shirt with Minnie Mouse on the front sporting a leopard-print bow, black biker shorts, and black sandals.
Another photo from Skinner was of her and her husband Jonas Harmer, whom she married in November 2019 -- just one month after the two got engaged. The two can be seen somewhere inside the Animal Kingdom theme park.
The family went on multiple rides while at the park, including Kilimanjaro Safaris and Kali River Rapids.
Other Celebrities Who Visited the Disney Parks Recently
Disney Parks across the world are not only visited by “everyday Guests”, but also are visited by celebrities and their families who have it a little bit better inside the theme parks.
The Kardashians, specifically, have visited both Disneyland and Walt Disney World various times, and every time they go, there are reports about the family receiving “special treatment” or “cutting the lines.” One time, Kylie Jenner even had “it’s a small world” shut down for “every day” Guests so that she and her family could ride it alone.
However, it is not uncommon that when celebrities, not just the Kardashians, visit Disney Parks, they often get escorted around by V.I.P. tour guides as it helps them navigate the theme parks easier. Disney wants to ensure that the celebrities are able to visit the theme parks in the safest way possible and doesn’t want Guests doing anything to put the celebrity in harm’s way, or to try to access the celebrity while on a ride, which is why the last time Kylie Jenner rode “it’s a small world” with her family, she shut down the entire ride for herself.
In addition to the Kardashians, “Over Her Dead Body” actress Eva Longoria is traveling the world with her 4-year-old son, Santiago “Santi” Bastón. Just recently, the two went to Paris and visited the magical Disneyland Paris theme parks, making memories together that will last a lifetime.
And Kristen Bell, best known in the Disney community for voicing Princess Anna in the “Frozen” franchise, recently visited Disneyland Park with her family, including her husband, Dax Shepard.
Bell shared a handful of photos to her Instagram of the family taking on the Happiest Place on Earth, including a photo of the actress sporting a Minnie Ear baseball cap, a basic white tank top, and jeans.
