Vice President JD Vance was seen strolling through Disneyland while on a trip to Southern California Saturday.
The Vice President, his wife Usha and two of their children were seen walking through Bayou Country.
The user who posted the video to X that was obtained by KTLA — @DisneyScoopGuy — said in a separate post that Vance and his family rode Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. A third post from the same user showed Vance and his family going to the high-end 21 Royal restaurant located within the park.
Vance also appeared to take in the sights at Tom Sawyer’s Island, too.
Members of Vance’s advance team were seen throughout the area earlier in the week. Orange County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento, a Democrat, expressed frustration at the VP’s trip to SoCal.
“I’m offended by the visit, because so many families are being terrorized by the policies from the federal government,” Sarmiento said.
Another Orange County Supervisor, Republican Don Wagner, offered a more tempered response, acknowledging Sarmiento’s concerns but encouraging dialogue rather than division.
“I do think it’s an opportunity for us, instead of casting stones, to cast a wider net,” Wagner said. “We’ve had questions about ICE operations in Santa Ana. This could be a chance to engage rather than stay away.”
While there were no concrete reports as to why Vance is in SoCal (no public schedule of events was ever released) Sarmiento says he believes the VP and his family are on a leisure trip.
Vance is believed to be staying at the Grand Californian Hotel, which is adjacent to the park; demonstrators have gathered near the hotel to protest the Vice President’s visit.
