One of the highlights of visiting Walt Disney World is experiencing the wide range of shows across the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Guests can enjoy unique activities such as Animal Encounters at Animal Kingdom, hear the beautiful harmonies of the Voices of Liberty at EPCOT, watch the lively Dapper Dans at Magic Kingdom, and enjoy Beauty and the Beast—Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
And that’s just a small sample of the many shows and experiences that await at The Most Magical Place on Earth! With character performances and breathtaking nighttime spectaculars added to the mix, the possibilities are nearly endless!

However, the Most Magical Place on Earth recently found itself at the center of an unusual ticketing mix-up. StubHub, one of the leading ticketing platforms, mistakenly advertised a Jerry Seinfeld comedy show at Magic Kingdom’s Town Square Theater. Unsurprisingly, the error left Disney fans amused, confused, and quick to share their reactions online.
The Comical Mix-Up
The incident began when StubHub promoted Jerry Seinfeld’s February 1, 2025, performance at the Walt Disney Theater in Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. However, the ticketing platform mistakenly paired the event listing with an image of the Town Square Theater, a beloved location at the entrance of Magic Kingdom.
The confusion caught the attention of X (formerly Twitter) user Tharin White, who humorously shared the blunder:
Hmm, I think StubHub might have the wrong ‘Walt Disney Theater’ photo for Jerry Seinfeld.

Accompanied by the mismatched image, the post quickly gained traction, with Disney fans and comedy enthusiasts alike chiming in. After all, the idea of Jerry Seinfeld performing his iconic stand-up routine alongside Mickey Mouse was too absurd not to laugh at.
Fan Reactions
Social media users were quick to turn the mishap into a source of entertainment. One fan joked, “Imagine Jerry doing a bit on FastPass drama or Dole Whip lines—sign me up!” Another quipped, “Seinfeld at Magic Kingdom? I’d pay extra for him to critique the Haunted Mansion’s stretching room.”
Adding to the hilarity, other screenshots revealed StubHub had used the same Town Square Theater image for several unrelated events, including Harry Potter in Concert and Stardew Valley. While the listed events were real, none of them had any connection to Disney World, leaving fans to imagine whimsical mash-ups of their favorite franchises and the Magic Kingdom.
Clearing Up the Confusion
StubHub eventually corrected the error, removing the incorrect image and clarifying that Seinfeld’s performance would take place at the Walt Disney Theater in the Dr. Phillips Center—located about 15 miles away from Disney World. Fortunately, no ticketing issues arose from the mistake, though it did lead to plenty of laughs among fans.
For the record, the Town Square Theater remains one of Magic Kingdom’s most cherished venues. Known for housing character meet-and-greets with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, the location is decidedly not equipped for stand-up comedy performances. While it’s fun to imagine Jerry Seinfeld quipping about churros and theme park crowds, the theater’s current lineup remains firmly rooted in Disney magic.
A Humorous Lesson
The StubHub incident serves as a lighthearted reminder of how even a simple mistake can bring unexpected joy. In a year filled with news of park expansions, ride updates, and entertainment debuts, this gaffe provided a moment of levity for Disney fans around the world.
As one fan humorously remarked, “Maybe StubHub was onto something. A comedy night at Disney? Now THAT’S magical!” While the idea of Jerry Seinfeld performing at Magic Kingdom remains a fantasy, the buzz surrounding this mix-up has left fans dreaming about the possibilities of new entertainment offerings at Disney World.
