It’s always delightful when celebrities are just like the rest of us, especially when that commonness extends to being in love with Disney. Sometimes a celebrity is so infatuated with Disney that they model their house after their favorite castle or name their daughter after a princess, or they’re just frequent visitors at one of the many Disney parks. Famous or not, everyone gets a thrill when they first see the castle. Even award-winning actors with millions of Twitter followers can’t resist the enchantment of experiencing different rides and adventures in the parks. Here are some celebs who have never been ashamed to express their love of all things Disney.

Katy Perry

Us Weekly

The colorful pop artist is so connected to Disney that she dressed up as Ursula, the sea witch from The Little Mermaid, when she walked the red carpet for a recent Disney-themed American Idol episode. Perry surprised her fellow judges when she walked the red carpet in a full-blown Ursula costume, made complete with purple face paint, a serious set of tentacles, and a casual shrimp cocktail. She also spoke about her lifelong devotion to Mickey and Minnie at Minnie’s star ceremony for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “I was maybe two or three years old and into my peripheral vision came Minnie and Mickey Mouse-printed diapers. That was my very first memory ever,” she said. “And of course, it turned into a lifelong devotion.”

 

 

 

Ryan Gosling

Billboard

Gosling has been described as “a Disney freak,” by Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro. Gosling’s relationship with Disney began at an early age – he was a Mouseketeer (teenage performers featured on the The Mickey Mouse Club, a television variety show) when he was just a kid. He has said that, “I’m grateful. That place was a landscape to me. I had adventures every day.” His love for Disney has continued throughout his life. People were delighted when Gosling was spotted skipping the Oscars in 2015 to go on a trip to Disneyland with Guillermo del Toro. It was later revealed that the two went for research purposes, as Gosling was about to star in del Toro’s movie adaptation of the Disneyland ride “The Haunted Mansion,” which happens to be one of Gosling’s favorites.

Neil Patrick Harris

Harris’ love of Disney is well-documented. Besides being the last narrator of Disneyland’s “Screamin’” and host of Disney World’s “World of Color,” he also narrated Epcot’s “Candlelight Processional,” hosted the inauguration of a new Disney cruise ship, and was the master of ceremonies at the Walt Disney Family Museum’s Second Annual Gala. He’s also been vocal about his admiration of the man himself, Walt Disney. Harris has said that, “Walt Disney was my idol growing up. I think it’s unbelievable how he committed his life to the complete amusement and enjoyment of others.” On the Late Late Show with James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris discussed his obsession and love for Disney memorabilia, and the crazy amount of money he spent on a portrait at an auction. He said, “it turns out I was bidding against one of the wealthiest people in the world, and I still wanted it bad enough that I ended up getting it.”

Ariana Grande

E!

The American singer celebrated her twenty-first birthday at Disney World, the most magical place on Earth. She captioned a post on Instagram the day before her birthday with, “spending my last few days as a non 21 year old in one of my favorite childhood places with my favorite people.” She celebrated with Cinderella, Prince Charming, and Mickey Mouse at the Magic Kingdom. She has also compared her single “Break Free” with the vibe of Space Mountain (and admitted to riding it five times in a row on her birthday visit). Grande has performed at two Disney-themed Christmas specials in 2014 and 2015, solidifying her love for Disney.

Kourtney Kardashian

The reality TV star is a frequent visitor to the parks: she celebrated her thirty-eighth birthday at Disneyland and took her new boyfriend Younes Bendjima to Disneyland, Paris in September 2017. She has also visited Disney World with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, along with their children in 2016. However, she’s not the only Kardashian obsessed with Disney, as her sister, Kim, received 920 shares of Disney for her birthday from husband Kanye West.

 

 

 

Mariah Carey

The American singer-songwriter is an official Fairy Godmother to the Disney Fantasy, one of Disney’s many cruise ships. Carey christened the ship before its first voyage in 2012, saying, “Thank you for inviting me to join this amazing celebration. It means a lot to me to be here to christen the Disney Fantasy.” She also shut down Disneyland to renew her vows to then-husband Nick Cannon. The music superstar celebrated her birthday at Disneyland in 2018 and brought her twins along for the fun. She shared a sweet snap on Instagram of Moroccan and Monroe, cuddling with their mother alongside a bunch of gifts and colorful decorations.
