Chip Gaines vs. Roller Coasters: Hilarious Disney Adventures with Joanna and Crew!
The Gaines family recently took a trip to the “happiest place on Earth,” and let’s just say, not everyone was on board with the wild rides! Joanna, the ever-enthusiastic co-host of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper,” showcased her thrill-seeking spirit on Instagram, sharing side-by-side photos of herself reveling in the roller coaster experience while her husband, Chip, looked like he was facing a near-death experience. Joanna was all smiles—arms raised high and enjoying every twist and turn—while Chip, adorned in a Mickey Mouse shirt, looked more like he was auditioning for a horror film than having family fun.
In a playful caption to her post, Joanna wrote, “One of us LOVES roller coasters, and one of us does not ????,” tagging Chip. The Disney Parks account even chimed in with a cheeky suggestion for Chip to try out the iconic “It’s a Small World” instead, proving that even Disney recognizes the roller coaster divide in their family!
But wait—there’s more! Joanna didn’t just stop at the coaster pics. She shared a montage of the entire family’s escapades at the park, including their youngest son, Crew, who seemed to be living his best life. The six-year-old was captured on camera having a blast, whether he was screaming with delight on a ride or mesmerized by the nighttime fireworks show. “We surprised Crew with a trip to @waltdisneyworld and we ALL had the very best day,” Joanna gushed, reminding us all why Disney World holds that “magical” title.
As they navigate parenting five children—ranging from a college student to a toddler—Joanna told PEOPLE that her youngest gives her a renewed sense of perspective. “It’s been such a gift,” she shared. This Disney adventure seems to be just another way of creating those cherished “micro-moments” they treasure as a family. Whether you love heart-pounding thrills or prefer a more chill—Joanna and Chip Gaines show that family fun comes in all forms, roller coasters or not!
