PHOTOS & VIDEO: The TWO Celebrities You Might See in Magic Kingdom Today

We’ve noticed crowds picking up in Disney World lately as people head to the parks for the holiday season.

Magic Kingdom Crowds

Among the hundreds of guests inside the parks, you might even spot some familiar faces! We’ve seen celebrities in Disney World, whether they’re just visiting with friends and family or there to film a commercial or special. Recently, we saw a few celebs over in EPCOT for some filming. And today there are more big names in the parks! If you’re in the Magic Kingdom today, keep an eye out for a couple of celebrities nearby.

While we were walking by Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, we noticed a setup for filming nearby. There were lights and cameras, as well as a stage decorated for the holidays.

Lots of equipment here!

Guess who we saw on that stage…it was Derek and Julianne Hough!

The siblings are professional dancers (and much more) who many fans may recognize from Dancing With the Stars.

Today they’re filming in Disney World, likely for the Disney Christmas Day Parade that’s coming out this season. We’ve already seen the pair host The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration on November 28th, and they’ll be back for Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade, which airs on Christmas Day.

Getting ready for the holidays

If you’re near Cinderella Castle, you might be able to spot the pair as they prepare for the next big holiday special. Keep an eye out for them!

Update: Turns out the Houghs had even MORE filming planned for the Magic Kingdom — Derek Hough posted a video in front of the Cinderella Castle to his TikTok today! Check it out below!
