NEWNow you can listen to Fox News articles!
Kylie Kelce might be one of those Disney adults who visits the parks without her kids.
In a recent episode of “I Won’t Sleep With Kylie Kelce,” the podcast host and wife of former NFL star Jason Kelce, said she’s starting to believe that Disney World and Disneyland are more for adults than kids.
Brenda Song, star of Netflix’s hit show “Running Point,” joined the pod on Thursday, April 30, as the two women discussed a trip to the resort.

“I realized it’s not for the kids, it’s for us,” said Kylie Kelce’s wife. “And as adults, we can appreciate magic and food and drink – and, our legs can do it. A lot.”
Song, who is engaged to Macaulay Culkin, is a former Disney star. He said he would like to be Kylie Kelce’s park guide.

She is best known for her Disney Channel roles, including London Tipton on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.”
“Please – I’m an old Disney person,” said Ngoma. “That’s my dream.”
“It’s perfect because I refuse to go there unless I have a Disney adult calling me,” said Kylie Kelce, adding that she is not a Disney adult and relies on people with park experience to help get information.

The Kelces have four daughters ranging in age from 6 years old to 13 months, and have visited Disney World many times, Kelce said.
They just took over the team in November 2025 before the football star’s 38th birthday.

“As an adult, I think Mac and I love Disneyland more than our kids,” Song said.
“Since I was a child, growing up, it was always there and, since I worked on the Disney Channel in my teenage years, we would just leave work. They always had events there,” said Song Kylie Kelce in the podcast.
“We went there a lot, it was like the coolest backyard in the world,” he added. “So it feels like home. But Disney World, to me, is really like a magical place.”

Song said his personal favorite is the “Minnie Van” service, a private, on-demand service at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida., featuring SUVs with red and white polka dots.
“Disney is probably the best brand in entertainment.”
“Disney Parks is for the young and the young at heart — for anyone who believes that fun and adventure have no age limit,” a Disney spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Reactions from so-called Disney adults have been mixed online, with some embracing the trend and others questioning it.

“They’re associated with classic, timeless, innocent stories. … That’s very appealing to childless adults who are looking for a way to recapture or keep alive that sense of joy and comfort.”
