We’re Irrationally Jealous of Chris Evans in Disney World…But Not for the Reason You’d Think

It’s not uncommon for celebrities to visit the Disney parks!

Magic Kingdom

Seriously, some of them love experiencing the magic as much as we do, and they often visit for work-related events or even just for fun with their families! Some celebs we’ve seen visit Disney World multiple times and one of those people is a famous Marvel actor.

Chris Evans recently made a trip to Magic Kingdom, and he got to live out our childhood dreams with one major moment. Nope, it wasn’t meeting Mickey Mouse or stepping inside Cinderella Castle…it was something so much simpler.

Chris Evans managed to pull the sword from the stone, and we (really meaning yours truly) are SO jealous! We suppose that the same guy who’s worthy of wielding Mjolnir in the MCU is also worthy of ruling Camelot, but still. RUDE.

Disney Parks shared a picture of him on Instagram pulling out the sword — do you know how many times I’ve tried this to no avail?! Alas, maybe one day it will be my turn to succeed in such a manner. Until then, Chris Evans, you and I have BEEF.

For those who don’t know about the sword in the stone, it’s located in front of Prince Charming Regal Carrousel in Fantasyland. Throughout the day, dozens (if not hundreds) of people will step up to the rock and try and pull out the iconic sword for a photo op. But the sword only actually comes out of the stone on rare occasions. (Most often it seems to work for children, more than adults.)

So how does the sword actually work? Well, a nearby Cast Member (perhaps one incognito), will have a trigger switch that allows the sword to be released at certain times. They typically try not to activate the switch too often, so that it can remain a rare and special occurrence.

But we suppose that Chris Evans is a worthy choice for pulling the sword. Either way, we need him to teach us his tricks!
