Photos: Man Buns Are Everywhere, Even Disneyland
Move over "DILFs of Disneyland," we have a new Disneyland dudes Instagram account to obsess over. Enter "Man Buns of Disneyland."
Whether you love or hate the man bun, we're seeing it on men everywhere now. It's a style we blame Jared Leto for starting, and celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kit Harrington for spreading (though, we had to admit they look pretty good with the hairstyle).
In Man Buns of Disneyland, you'll see DILFs with man buns, one dude with TWO man buns, and bros hanging out together both sporting the same hairstyle. It's wonderful. We think the man bun may be growing on us. Hey, sometimes gets hot at Disneyland, and you don't want messy hair while you're riding Space Mountain.
Man Buns of Disneyland was started in February by Christy, who asked us not to use her last name. She tells LAist how she came up with the idea for this Instagram. "I'm an annual pass holder, so I go to Disneyland a lot," she says. "And I remember seeing a guy with a perfect man bun in line for the Jungle Cruise and my first (creepy) instinct was to Snapchat it to a friend. So I did, and after that I kept seeing dudes with man buns and thought it would be pretty funny to make a IG page out of it. And voila, Man Buns of Disneyland was born."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
