We know we say it a lot, but celebrities are Disney adults, too. They might not be like us in many ways, but they still get giggly when they meet Mickey, they obsess over their Disney collections (John Stamos, we’re looking at you), and they frequent La Cava del Tequila so much that they get their own table and/or drink.
Well, one celebrity recently visited Disney World for her birthday, and she was experiencing pure happiness, especially after riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The celebrity? Emmy-award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph (who we LOVE on Abbott Elementary).
Sheryl Lee Ralph recently posted some Instagram photos and videos celebrating her birthday on December 30th, and where else would she celebrate but in Disney World? Now, that’s OUR kind of celebrity! Of course, she had to post some photos from the parks, because who wouldn’t?
Of course, with it being her birthday, she also got the birthday button plus a fun photo and video op with a giant Disney World birthday button. This woman knows how to celebrate! You can check out many of her photos and videos below. Her joy is infectious! We are also big fans of the new birthday song.
She also posted a video of her before riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and after, and let’s just say she loved the ride so much, she rode it again. See? Just like us! She said she “screamed, laughed, and felt like a little girl again.” Disney magic made, y’all. Check out the video below:
We love seeing celebrities experience the same joy we do in the parks, and we hope they never lose that part of themselves (and we hope you don’t either). Happy Birthday to Sheryl Lee Ralph — we know it was MAGICAL.
