When wandering around Walt Disney World Resort, it is so fun to watch all of the iconic Disney characters walk around in costume. Character interactions are one of the best parts of visiting Disney Parks, and it is a central part of any Disney vacation. To help preserve the magic, Disney strictly enforces that no adult Guests should be wearing a costume within any Park unless it is at a special Halloween event. This is one of the reasons why fans were shocked to see Barstool founder and internet celebrity Dave Portnoy in a full Disney costume walking around the Parks.
Dave Portnoy is known on the internet as an incredibly wild and hilarious personality. He has garnered a massive fanbase for being the founder of the pop-culture blog Barstool Sports. His company has now become a source of sports content, celebrity gossip, and lots of entertaining podcast channels. Dave himself stars on some podcasts, including the popular celebrity gossip podcast Bff’s.
One of the main things that fans love Dave Portnoy for is his trademark “one bite pizza reviews.” On March 9, the internet celeb headed to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida to shoot a new Pizza review and film a bunch of content in the Parks. While he was there, he had some extra fun getting into character as a Disney Cast Member.
On Dave Portnoy’s personal TikTok account, @stoolpresidente, he shared a clip from inside the Park where he gives directions to a Guest while in costume. Fans found the clip hilarious, and it now has gone viral with over 133,300 likes. Disney fans sounded off in the comments joking around that Dave Portnoy had accepted a job as a Disney Cast Member. Others were quick to correct his one-finger point, saying “You need to point with two fingers. It’s the Disney way.”
Disney World Guests were caught fighting on iconic Disney attraction, and as a result, they were escorted from Disney Parks.
Walt Disney World Resort is not just a group of theme parks and Resorts; it is an experience that stays with visitors for a lifetime. Walt Disney World Resort is constantly evolving, with new attractions, shows, and events being added regularly to keep visitors coming back for more. It is a place where dreams come true, where visitors can escape reality and immerse themselves in a world of magic and wonder. For families, couples, and solo travelers alike, Disney World is an unforgettable destination that should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Disney World is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” and is divided into four Parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney World also has two water parks for Guests to enjoy, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach, offering Guests a refreshing break from the Florida heat.
With this many different Parks, Disney World sees thousands of Guests daily. Magic Kingdom is a popular Park that Guests visit. Guests can stroll down Main Street, U.S.A and spot Cinderella Castle at the center. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of Disney, with rides, shows, and parades featuring beloved characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and many others. Some of the Park’s most popular attractions include Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, “it’s a small world,” The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, and the Haunted Mansion.
Haunted Mansion takes Guests on a journey where the disembodied voice of the Ghost Host is your private guide through the mortal realm of an eerie haunted estate, home to ghosts, ghouls, and supernatural surprises. On the ride, you’ll lide past a casket-filled conservatory, Madame Leota’s chilling séance room, and a ghostly graveyard of singing specters as you attempt to find your way out. Beware of hitchhikers—these phantom pranksters may follow you home.
Guests will climb aboard a gloomy Doom Buggy for a grave journey through a labyrinth of haunted chambers.
In a recent Reddit Thread, Guests spotted families arguing in line and this altercation only grew into more fighting. The Guests said Cast Members jumped in to intervene and couldn’t control them. At the end of the attraction’s preshow, Disney World Security were lined up to remove the families from the Park.
“My family was waiting in line at Haunted Mansion, in front of were two family jawing at each other and this went on for a good 15 minutes. The two families finally stopped arguing and we made our way into the stretching room, this is the part where the crazy happens while inside the two families jawing at each other ended up having a fist in the room. the castmembers did their best to try and break it up but they couldn’t. At the end of the elevator ride their was a lineup of security who escorted the families out.
Disney Cast Members work hard to keep Guests at Disney safe. Disney Guests need to remember to be calm and kind to other Guests and Cast Members.

Visiting Walt Disney World Resort is expensive. It is easy to dream of what it would be like to take a vacation to the Resort if money was no object. If the price weren’t an issue, there would be no limit to where you would stay, what you would do, and how much you would splurge on extra experiences.
For one lucky couple, this dream became a reality after the husband, Robert Taylor, had the winning ticket for the Massachusetts State Lottery last week.
Robert Taylor and his wife Terry’s lives changed for the better last week. Robert Taylor who lives in Taunton, Massachusetts, is now the proud lottery winner of a $500,000 Keno Ticket. Robert won the drawing on March 22 after purchasing a lottery ticket from Atlantic Cafe in Taunton.
The Keno drawing is a lottery game where players pick 1-12 numbers between 1-80. Plays then wager on how much they want to bet on their picked numbers, or “spots.” Robert had some great guesses and ended up winning big. The couple picked up their winnings from the lottery headquarters on Thursday, March 23.
With their newfound wealth, Robert and Terry were left to make some big decisions as to what they wanted to spend their winnings on. Their first priority was investing in buying a home for themselves. The second choice was something slightly more magical.
With half a million dollars now under their belt, the couple is planning a spectacular vacation to Walt Disney World Resort. They plan to bring their grandchildren along with them on the vacation.
It’s wonderful to hear about such a kind couple being able to go on their dream trip. Vacations to Walt Disney World Resort are very expensive, and it is awesome that they will be able to go on a trip without worrying about the cost.
