Rapper Kanye West, who legally goes by Ye, was spotted at EPCOT at Walt Disney World today, June 29, 2026, and appeared to be receiving a guided VIP tour courtesy of Disney cast members, with his own private security detail in tow. Video footage captured on social media shows West exiting Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, EPCOT’s thrilling reverse-launch coaster, accompanied by cast members and security, drawing attention from fellow parkgoers who quickly recognized the rapper.
The sighting was first reported by Disney media account Streaming the Magic on Threads, which found a video from account @thrifteverafter and noted that West appeared to be receiving the kind of guided access Disney offers to celebrity guests. Disney’s VIP Tour program is a premium offering that provides guests with a dedicated guide, priority access to attractions, and a fully personalized park experience. Here is a second video showing him exiting the attraction:
Why Is Kanye West In Florida?
West’s presence in the Orlando area is no coincidence. His ongoing Ye Live Concert Tour, supporting his twelfth studio album BULLY released earlier this year, included stops at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, roughly one hour west of Walt Disney World. West performed two nights in Tampa on June 26 and June 28 as part of a tour that has drawn both large crowds and significant controversy. It appears West chose to spend part of his day exploring one of the most iconic theme parks in the world during his Tampa run.
Disney’s VIP Treatment For High-Profile Guests
Disney World’s VIP Tour program is the gold standard for celebrity park visits. The program pairs guests with dedicated cast member guides who provide private transportation between lands, priority boarding on attractions, and fully personalized itineraries. VIP tours must be booked for a minimum of seven continuous hours and can accommodate up to ten guests per party. The program has long been a favorite of celebrities, athletes, and executives looking for a lower-profile, higher-access theme park experience.
West is far from the first major celebrity to take advantage of Disney’s VIP offerings. EPCOT in particular, with its World Showcase and globally inspired dining, has become a destination for high-profile guests looking for a more curated experience. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, which opened at EPCOT in 2022, is one of the park’s most popular and talked-about attractions, featuring an immersive storyline, an omni-coaster vehicle system, and a curated mixtape soundtrack. You can learn more about Disney World’s VIP Tour program on the official Walt Disney World website.
Kanye West’s Long History With Disney Parks
Today’s EPCOT sighting is far from West’s first brush with Disney magic. He and wife Bianca Censori have made trips to Disneyland Resort an annual tradition since their 2022 marriage, typically favoring the original Disneyland Park over California Adventure. Most recently, the couple was spotted at Disney California Adventure Park on December 28, 2025, with two of his children, riding attractions including the Incredicoaster and Grizzly River Run.
In July 2024, West brought three of his children to Disney California Adventure Park, where the group rode Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! with heavy VIP security in tow. Earlier that April, West and Censori joined musician Yung Lean for a Star Wars Nite visit to Disneyland, riding Hyperspace Mountain together. Whether at Disneyland or now EPCOT, West’s theme park visits have become a recurring fixture of his public life, often drawing the same mix of fan excitement and crowd-control controversy as his other public appearances.
