When Celebrities Visit Disney Parks

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.
