Have you ever seen a celebrity while visiting the Disney Parks? I remember once noticing fashion designer Betsy Johnson in New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. She led a Disney cast that guided her around, but that prevented the guests from asking her for a photo. It’s safe to say: you can imagine how often some celebrities have to be interrupted during their Disney vacation.
Recently, reality star, singer, DJ and entrepreneur Paris Hilton appeared in the YouTube program, Hot Ones, on First We Feast’s channel. In the popular YouTube program, there are regular celebrities who answer interview questions while eating hotter chicken wings.
While on the show, Paris Hilton explained how she could go to Disney World and feel more like a ‘normal’ guest, and not one that everyone was staring at or asking for a photo of.

Warm oneSean Evans, host for her, told Hilton: “I’ve heard stories that you go to Disney in full prosthetics to disguise yourself as a photographer.” Hilton admitted and continued to explain other cases where she had more than 50 cameras each time. and what she would do to deceive and escape them. Some hacks included dressing her friends in a blonde wig and giving them a fake Chihuahua to look like her dog, Tinker Bell.
Plus, if you’re a big enough fan to name your puppy by name Peter Pan fairy, it seems like you’re a big Disney fan. So I can totally see why Paris Hilton would wear fake prosthetics if it meant she could enjoy the park without others wanting to invade on her vacation!

As you can imagine, Hilton is not the first celebrity to go to a Disney Park while disguised. In fact Channing Tatum (Step up, 21 Jump Street) was once seen in disguise while driving on Tower of Terror, according to Cinemablend. The actor decided to ride with a full beard in a Santa suit. It probably seems like it was for a joke, because if Tatum tries to avoid eyes on him, a Santa suit is not the best move, even though it covers most of his face!

Super Model and host of America’s next top model, Tyra Banks, was also in disguise at Disneyland. Banks said in an interview:
‘I went to Disneyland and I love to go, I’m crazy about Disney, I’m actually crazy about Walt Disney, the man. I like to go, but I want to be with everyone and hang out and not just always have to go through the back door. So I put on a disguise. It was an older woman’s thing. I wear one of my mom’s wigs because my mom likes to have gray in her wigs. Then I take one of her wigs, I put on her old-fashioned glasses, and then she’s like this leopard, big shirts, I put it on and a stumbling block, a stumbling block is going to make you look old … I have a had back story: ‘Yeah, my husband found out the car seat covers that go on like the car seat covers, like the drivers have, and I have so many left beads that I decided to make things that go through the door. I’m so happy, we’m from Detroit here and I’m just as happy because I love Walt Disney. ”
The late Pop sensation Michael Jackson was known for also visiting Disneyland while in disguise. Watch some footage of Jackson with ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley while wearing a ball, sunglasses and what looks like a fake mustache.
