Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Meal For Me …
Lunch Inside Disney Attraction!!!

JD Vance needs a bottle of rum and a heading, stat … ’cause he and his family enjoyed a meal inside the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride at Disneyland Saturday.

The vice president hit the Blue Bayou Restaurant at The Happiest Place on Earth around 11:30 AM … sitting with his wife, Usha, their children and what looks like Usha’s parents.

Check out the pics … like we said, it’s the morning on the West Coast in the photos — but, it looks like night because the restaurant is located inside the attraction, right next to where people get on and off the boat.

I just saw this video of JD Vance “running” and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/u8NQM1wC1I— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) July 13, 2025

Basically, lots of people could’ve seen the VP eating with his fam … including one woman inside the restaurant and the eyewitness says she told Vance she loved him. He gave her a thumbs-up.

We’re told Vance looked relaxed at the table … and, his kids were all over him — lots of hugging as 40 Secret Service agents dressed in casual clothes and bomb-sniffing dogs kept the Second Family safe.

While it’s not clear what the family ate, we do know it’s a bit of a pricier meal for the park … with a prime rib going costing $55, a pistachio lemon basil pasta going for $30 and $12 chicken strips for the kiddos. Again, not saying Vance and co. got those specific items — but, it probably wasn’t cheap for the group.

JD made quite the impression in Anaheim yesterday … with a social media user filming him walking with his family — and, he even hopped on “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure,” a controversial ride among conservatives.

Protesters demonstrated near the park against the Trump administration’s immigration policies … and, Gavin Newsom even took a shot at JD — writing on X that he hopes Vance enjoys his family time while ICE rips families apart.

Vance ain’t letting the criticism bug him though … ’cause it’s a vacation’s life for him in SoCal!
