JD Vance traded in the White House for the House of Mouse this weekend … hanging with his kids at Disneyland and even hopping on a controversial ride.

The vice president and his wife, Usha, were spotted walking around Bayou Country at the theme park — holding hands with what looked like two of their children.

It’s all smiles as their entourage moves up the walkway… with casual-looking escorts wearing mics — a lot like the Secret Service — keeping a wary eye out.

The VP and co were also spotted hanging out on Tom Sawyer’s Island … with Vance appearing to be taking it all in.

BTW … Vance is staying at the Grand Californian Hotel — a resort right next to the park — and, a whole lotta people came out to protest his presence, bringing Mexican flags and signs decrying the administration’s immigration policies.

We’re told there’s heightened security at the high-end Disney hotel for Vance’s visit … but everything remains open.
