Dannielynn Birkheadand dadLarry Birkheadare spending some special father-daughter time at the Happiest Place on Earth.

On Thursday, the actor, 50, shared a Reel onhis joint Instagramwith his 17-year-old daughter as the two visited Disneyland together. Dannielynn, the daughter of the lateAnna Nicole Smith, and her dad raced cars around the theme park’s Autopia ride, posing for pictures around the park as they enjoyed their time together.

“Dannielynn trying to show me her ‘driving skills’ at@waltdisneyworldAutotopia. After a year of telling her to study for her driver’s test and then her just being too lazy and ‘busy’ while at the same time telling me that she ‘doesn’t want to drive,’ she decided to show me what she’s got at Disney World,” the proud father began his lengthy caption.

Admitting that she “needs a little help,” Larry said that he told his daughter “when she can pass a quiz at home, then I would take her to get drivers lessons because it makes me too nervous.”

“All jokes aside, we always have a great time at Disney. Dannielynn has turned into a daredevil since the shock on her face of going down her first time on Splash Mountain. 😂 ,” he concluded the caption.

“To be honest, the dress was so big I had to drive it from Florida, because it was too big to go on the plane and check it in. So this was a full-on production,” Larry told PEOPLE at the time.

When Dannielynn celebrated her 16th birthday, Larryhonored his not-so-little girl with a sweet tribute.

“Dannielynn is such a great kid and she makes me so proud every day,” he shared with PEOPLE. “I can’t believe she is old enough to drive! It seems like yesterday I was pushing her in a toy car!”

The proud dad also posted a heartfelt message to his daughter onInstagramalongside a collage of images of Dannielynn through the years.
