Never underestimate the power of Mickey. Disney will add another jewel to its crown next week with the opening of the Shanghai Disney Resort.
To call the park magical is a bit of an understatement. It features six themed sections — Mickey Avenue, Gardens of Imagination, Fantasyland, Adventure Isle, Treasure Cove, and Tomorrowland. Guests can choose from two resort hotels, and performances of The Lion King are guaranteed to enthrall.
The Shanghai park can also no doubt count on some celebrity support. After all, if there's one thing we've learned from celebrity Instagrams, it's that famous people love the Magic Kingdom. Maybe it's the rides, maybe it's the castle, maybe it's the mouse ears. Maybe it's because the draw of The Happiest Place on Earth is just too great to resist. Can you blame them?
Ahead, 14 snaps of some of Disney's most devoted fans — from Katy Perry to North West.
Ariana Grande
Grande loves her ears, so it's only natural she'd make like Minnie and rock this sparkling pair.

North West
Kim and Kanye's little girl might be the ultimate Disney fan. She had her second birthday party at Disneyland last year, rocked an Elsa costume for Halloween, and recently joined cousin Penelope Disick and a pal for a day of princess-style pampering at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

Kylie Jenner
Aunt Kylie made the scene at North's birthday party. Think she was channeling Snow White?

Justin Bieber
A fan caught Bieber enjoying a day at the park, though we're going to deduct points for a noticeable lack of mouse ears.

Matt Damon
"You've survived being stranded on Mars. What are you going to do next?" "I'm going to Disneyland!"

Taylor Swift
Who could forget the time the world's least-impressed bodyguard got to experience the magic of Cars with Swift, Lily Aldridge, and Aldridge's daughter, Dixie Pearl? At least the pop star, who also donned a Frozen costume alongside Idina Menzel for Halloween last year, seemed psyched.

Kerry Washington
It's not just that Disney signs the Scandal star's paychecks. Washington's Disney devotion runs so deep that she skipped out on the SAG Awards to celebrate her birthday at Disneyland this year. Upgrade.

Neil Patrick Harris
Father of two NPH is a frequent visitor to the Happiest Place on Earth with his family. But, seriously: Where can we get those tricked-out mouse ears?

Chlöe Grace Moretz & Meghan Trainor
You've got to love a group date. Moretz and boyfriend Brooklyn Beckham spent the day at Disneyland with Trainor in tow back in May. Perhaps the actress was preparing for her upcoming role as The Little Mermaid?

Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin
The consciously uncoupled duo reunited at Disneyland for their daughter Apple's 12th birthday last month. Sadly, they weren't feeling the Thunder Mountain love.

Sarah Hyland
The onetime Disney Channel Original Movie star grabbed several pals for a recent trip to Disneyland. Think she gets an employee discount?

Jessica Alba
Alba (far right) and her two daughters clearly can't pass up those Minnie Mouse ears.

Katy Perry
She's gaga for Goofy! The pop star's Instagram feed features snaps from several Disney pilgrimages.

Paris Jackson
Like her late father Michael, the 18-year-old has a soft spot for Mickey. Jackson spent her most recent birthday with friends at the Anaheim park.
