JD Vance traded in the White House for the House of Mouse this weekend … hanging with his kids at Disneyland and even hopping on a controversial ride.
The vice president and his wife, Usha, were spotted walking around Bayou Country at the theme park — holding hands with what looked like two of their children.
It’s all smiles as their entourage moves up the walkway… with casual-looking escorts wearing mics — a lot like the Secret Service — keeping a wary eye out.
The same user who posted the clip to X said Vance also went with his fam on “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” … the ride formerly known as “Splash Mountain.”
Conservatives blasted the ride change … which replaced the old ride’s storyline based on the incredibly controversial “Song of the South” — which idealized life in the Reconstruction South after the Civil War.
While Vance himself doesn’t appear to have weighed in on the change himself, members of his party, like Congressman Byron Donalds, claimed the ride wasn’t racist.
The VP and co were also spotted hanging out on Tom Sawyer’s Island … with Vance appearing to be taking it all in.
BTW … Vance is staying at the Grand Californian Hotel — a resort right next to the park — and, a whole lotta people came out to protest his presence, bringing Mexican flags and signs decrying the administration’s immigration policies.
We’re told there’s heightened security at the high-end Disney hotel for Vance’s visit … but everything remains open.
Vance seems unbothered by the controversy … to be fair, it’s hard to be angry at The Happiest Place on Earth!
