The Celebrity Sighting in Disney World That'll Make Your Jaw DROP

DO NOT PANIC. WE REPEAT: DO NOT PANIC. Okay, you can panic a little. There has been a celebrity sighting at Disney World that might just make your jaw drop.

Cinderella Castle

We’ve seen a decent number of celebs make their way to the Most Magical Place on Earth — from Michael Jordan to Peyton Manning. But, on May 22nd, 2023, one person spotted a Disney celebrity in Magic Kingdom that might REALLY make you jealous.

Prepare to turn positively green with envy, Jonas Brothers fans. On May 22nd, an AllEars fan Todd M. (@what_would_walt_think via Instagram) shared a photo with AllEars and AllEars was kind enough to share that photo with us here at DFB.

The photo was of a celebrity sighting in Disney World. What celebrity? Well, it was THE KEVIN JONAS IN THE FLESH. It looks like Kevin was taking a stroll through Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Magic Kingdom. (AND THE JONAS BROTHERS FANS WENT WILD.)

It could just be the angle of the photo or maybe just our interpretation, but it sure looks like Kevin is looking longingly at some of the food being held by guests nearby. Grab yourself some chicken strips, Kevin, it’s important to eat when in Disney World!

Why Kevin Jonas was at Cosmic Ray’s specifically is a mystery we’ve yet to solve. Did he simply want some chicken strips and fries (nothing wrong with that!)? Was he passing through to listen to the musical stylings of another incredible pop star — THE Sonny Eclipse? Was this just a stopping spot on the way to his next attraction or snack? What about the rest of Kevin’s family? We have so many questions.

To be totally honest, if Kevin Jonas were to ask us to join him for a culinary adventure at Magic Kingdom, Cosmic Ray’s likely wouldn’t be our first choice. The pop star vibes of Sonny Eclipse ARE definitely a compelling reason to visit this restaurant, but given the choice, we think we’d take the Jonas Brother to have his taste buds ROCKED by some of the delicious creations at Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen (and we’d TOTALLY ask about that secret menu).

For a quick service option, we might recommend Columbia Harbour House — snag an upstairs table in the nook overlooking Liberty Square below and you’re REALLY in business.

But if a trip to Cosmic Ray’s was non-negotiable in Kevin’s book, we definitely wouldn’t say “no” to a plate of chicken strips and fries with Kevin Jonas. For a more adventurous snack, we might recommend the Triple-B Burger (with Coca-Cola Cherry-Barbecue sauce!) or the Grilled Chicken Sandwich (which has a citrus-soy mayonnaise and mango-cucumber slaw).

Then, we could hop on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover together to top off a perfect day. Excuse us as we go imagine what meals we’d like to share with each of the Jonas Brothers in Disney World. Do you think Joe is more of a DOLE Whip or LeFou’s Brew person?

P.S. The Jonas Brothers will be playing some shows in Orlando later this year (in October) so you could see them in the area around that time (or you might just want to interrupt your Disney trip for a concert experience).

The moral of the story here is to keep those eyes OPEN when you visit Disney World — you never know what celebrities you might spot! And maybe always have an invitation ready to take said celebrity to lunch at Cosmic Ray’s.
