Disney World is a magical place where anything can happen, right?
And when we’re talking about magical experiences, we’re talking about things like spotting a celebrity while you’re grabbing a Mickey pretzel or waiting in line for Haunted Mansion. Speaking of celebrities, while most people might dream of catching a glimpse of a huge star like Tom Holland or Taylor Swift strolling down Main Street, U.S.A., but there’s a high chance you might bump into this celebrity on your next trip to Disney World!
As we were saying, if there’s one celeb you actually might bump into at Disney World, it’s Ashley Eckstein.
And just in case you don’t know who Ashley is (don’t say that too loudly around Star Wars fans though), she’s just the voice of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the founder of Her Universe, a popular geek-chic clothing line.
Ashley isn’t just a casual visitor to Disney World either. It kinda seems like she’s basically living at the Disney parks and resorts!
She’s been to Disney World nine times this year. Nine. That’s more than some of us manage in a decade! And she’s not just sticking to Orlando. She’s also made five trips to Disneyland.
Plus, she just popped into Disney Springs a couple of days ago for a meet-and-greet, because she’s cool like that.
If there were an official Disney Frequent Flyer program, Ashley would probably be Platinum Elite status by now.
Why You Might Actually See Her
Unlike other celebs who hit up Disney for a private VIP tour and then disappear into the shadows, Ashley’s visits are anything but low-key. She’s out there meeting fans, hosting events, and posting about her adventures on Instagram.
When she’s not geeking out over Star Wars merch or rocking her latest Her Universe collection, Ashley seems to genuinely enjoy mingling with Disney fans, which means there’s a good chance you could spot her exploring EPCOT, snapping pics at Cinderella Castle, or enjoying a churro at Disneyland’s Pixar Pier.
So, the next time you’re at Disney World, don’t just keep your eyes peeled for hidden Mickeys – look out for Ashley Eckstein. She’s proof that you don’t have to be a Disney princess to live your best Disney life.

That’s cool she does that. That’s what I like about certain celebrities. They actually want to meet the people. However, I want to meet Imagineers like Bob Weis and Joe Rohde (who I look for when I’m AK); but meeting any Imagineer would be cool.
