Vice President JD Vance is spending some family time in Orange County this weekend, local officials said Friday afternoon.
Vance is expected to spend time with his family, possibly with a trip to Disneyland, they said.
Internet sleuths also noticed temporary flight restrictions were placed around the theme park from Friday to Sunday.
Security personnel are working with Disneyland Resort Security in preparation for an upcoming guest visit, according to Disneyland officials.
Disneyland officials declined to confirm any individual plans out of respect for the privacy of all guests.
Matt Desmond, who goes by Disney Scoop Guy on Instagram, posted a social media video of a newly installed staging area tent at the entrance to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel. “They definitely have a staging area at the front of the Grand Californian and there’s a very heavy police presence here,” Desmond said on Instagram.
The vice president’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A weekend schedule has not been posted and no fundraising events have been announced.
Orange County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento, whose office said the vice president’s advance team was in the area recently, noted the vice president’s visit comes amid the Trump administration’s continued aggressive immigration enforcement efforts, particularly in Southern California.
“I welcome any policymaker to come to our community and see for themselves how hardworking our immigrant communities are and how they make our country great,” Sarmiento, who represents the Second District, said. “It is my hope that the administration would come to the table and work with us on reversing these policies that seemed designed to crush our communities and our state.”
“I have respect for the office, but I just don’t respect their polices,” Sarmiento said.
Vance has spent a bit of time in Southern California of late.
Vance visited Los Angeles on official business last month, where he stood by the administration’s immigration raids and arrests and said the military presence in the area would remain. Then, Vance also toured a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center and a Federal Mobile Command Center and met with Marines who had been deployed to the area.
More recently, Vance was in San Diego for fundraisers and a $2,500-a-seat dinner hosted by a conservative think tank.
Earlier Friday, second lady Usha Vance visited Camp Pendleton as part of the Blue Star Books program, which donates books to military children, base libraries and Defense Department schools, to name a few.
The second lady grew up in suburban San Diego, in the community of Rancho Peñasquitos.
President Donald Trump, meanwhile, was in Texas on Friday to survey the damage from the catastrophic flooding that killed at least 120 people — with many more still missing — earlier this month.
Progressive groups planned to protest Vance’s visit in Anaheim Friday evening.
