Who says a luxury vacation is better than a trip to Disney World? Even CELEBRITIES love to visit the Disney parks, and we love seeing them ride our favorite attractions.

We know we’re not the only ones who love a good celebrity sighting in the Disney theme parks, which is why you’re the first ones we tell when a star hits the parks. We just spotted one of our favorite celebrities in Shanghai Disney Resort, and we have to admit, we’re pretty jealous!
Darren Criss, who Broadway fans may know from the new show “Maybe Happy Ending,” is currently on a planned leave of absence from the show until November 5th. He’s also recently been seen as Seymour in the off-Broadway “Little Shop of Horrors” revival, and if you’ve been familiar with him for years, you may also know him as Blaine from the hit show “Glee,” or his performance as Harry Potter Starkid’s “A Very Potter Musical” and “A Very Potter Sequel,” which both proceeded to go mega-viral when released online.

As part of his leave of absence from Broadway, it seems Darren decided to hop over to Shanghai Disney Resort to visit Mickey and Minnie and have some fun! That castle pic is EVERYTHING.

We know how special those Disney hugs are — we hope he had the most magical time!

Disney fans may also recognize Criss from his performance as The Caretaker in the 2021 Muppets Haunted Mansion film! If you haven’t seen this movie, do yourself a favor and go watch it on Disney+. It’s — dare we say it — the BEST Haunted Mansion movie of them all!
