How to Spot a Popular Disney Celebrity in Orlando…WITHOUT a Disney World Park Ticket!

We’re constantly on the lookout for celebrities when we visit Disney World!

It’s not uncommon to see famous people visiting the parks, whether they’re enjoying a family vacation or stopping by to promote a new movie or TV series. And it can be really fun to spot them from afar when you’re just strolling Main Street, U.S.A. We don’t always get to know ahead of time when celebrities are coming to the area, but now we’ve got a possible hint about a famous Disney actor!

It looks like Josh Gad, who is the voice of Olaf in Frozen, will be coming to Orlando in January 2025! Gad revealed via Instagram that he’s added a stop to his book tour in the city on January 21st.

His new book is titled “In Gad We Trust” and the publisher describes it as a “heartfelt and hilarious collection of essays” from Josh Gad. The book tour stop will take place at the Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts in downtown Orlando, and tickets are available now.

Since he’s got a book tour stop the very next day in Fort Lauderdale, it’s unclear if Gad will have time to stop by Disney World, but we’ll have to wait and see! We know he visited the parks very recently because he narrated the Candlelight Processional during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.

If you’re hoping to catch a celebrity in the parks, the Festival of the Holidays season is a great time to try! Disney has different celebrities narrate the show throughout the season, so we often see those people at the parks during the daytime as well.

We’ll be on the lookout for more celebrities heading to the central Florida area in 2025, so stay tuned to AllEars for all the updates.
