Celebrity Sighting(s) @ DIS

[Barbossa'sWench]

I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!

Please tell me he is just as hott in person?

He is a very gorgeous guy, very nice as well. Kinda funny story, my friend was down with her family from Michigan and staying at SOG since her brother is in the service. Well I went to pick her up so she could stay the night at my place and then we were going to Disney the next morning. Anyway her Mom and Brother went to the GF to have a drink, and he noticed, her Mom had no clue who it was but her brother did. He bought Johnny a drink and he came over to thank him. They started discussing things such as the best place to watch fireworks and so on. Anyway to make a long story short her brother knew I was coming to get her, so he called my friend's cell after asking Johnny if it was ok. He then told us to high-tail our rear-ends over there.....which we did. Not a second to later either because we had just put her stuff in the car and were about to leave. LOL! Very nice guy though, very sweet, even said some Piratey things for me on request.

In March on our last Disney trip we got the girls tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert in Orlando and Joey Fatone walked right by them.


Apparently Joey isn't hard to spot in Orlando since it seems alot of people have seen him out and about!


(not quite a celebrity sighting IN Disney, but since we were on our Disney trip I'm going to count it!!)

I was staying at one of the Hotels near the Orlando Conference Center and got on the Elevator with (now former) NFL QB Jeff George. He was tall and skinny - didn't look like a pro athlete.

We saw Brett Favre in the MK once. My DH recognized him and commented "I thought he'd be a lot bigger", .

Back in the late 80's or early 90's (I was a kid), they were filming an episode of the old game show "win lose or draw", in the center of world showcase. I got to meet all the celebs. Funny story about Sally Struthers. I asked for her autograph and she turned me down. She said if she signed for me, she would have to sign for everybody. She offered to shake my hand. I replied by saying if I shook her hand I would have to shake everybody's hand (I know it was rude but I was like 10 at the time)
But the coolest one was Eisner. I met him in one of the shops on Main Street. I had just bought a MGM hat (this is while mgm was under construction). I still have that hat. It has the MGM logo and Eisner's handcock on the bill.

I can't think of her real name but I saw the actress that plays Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light at MK in April.

Our few celeb sightings:
2. Summer 03ish? my DH and DF saw Kurt Warner in the lobby of the BC. Of course I was in the bathroom and missed it! That's OK; I'm a Bears fan.

I used to wait tables at a pretty well-liked sports bar and grill here in St. Louis a few years ago. Warner came in one night, when I was off though. It wasn't too big a deal to me at the time, since the Rams (and the Blues and the Cards) would drop in. It got to be pretty old hat for us to see "famous" people. Heh. Although I guess I picked a good year to work there. It was the year the Rams won the Super Bowl. (Yeah, we were shocked too.)

Other than that, no celeb sightings for us, at least, not at Disney. I know a few people last fall saw Bobby Flay during F&WF. Someone had a picture with him too. I was SO jealous! Heck, I'm still jealous.

I saw Donny Osmond and his family at Disney World last year, and we also saw "Slash" from Guns N Roses on the Disney cruise last August.

 

[kaybird]

Sat at a table at the Old Teppanyaki with Tony Danza MANY years ago! No pic

 

[APB513]

I saw Kevin Smith aka Silent Bob (who directed Dogma among other movies) at the MNSSHP in 2006. I didn't get a pic though.

K, I hope this counts!!!

My husband and I were in the Orlando airport leaving Disney after celebrating our 15 year anniversary. When we arrived to check in the counter person was all excited!! She asked me if I knew who New Kids on the Block were....I am from Boston SO YES!!! Well she told me that Jordan Knight was going to be sitting next to me. I was so excited because even though it had been years since they had performed they were my first concert.

So we go through security and proceed to the food court near our gate. My husband goes up to get us some lunch. I am sitting at the table and looking around and I see Jordan sitting at the bar. Then as I scan towards our gate I see a guy standing by himself. My husband returns and I say to him.."Please tell me that the guy standing over there isn't JC from Nsync?!!?" He looks over and YUP it is!!! Can I just say I was and still am a HUGE Nsync fan so needless to say I was on Boy Band overload!!! Jordan ended up sitting in across and behind us to lay down and sleep. When we arrived in Boston Jordan headed right off but JC was standing at baggage claim. My kids were at the airport to pick us up so I told my 8 year old daughter to go ask for an autograph. She was so overwelmed she wouldn't and started to cry so her 12 year old brother walked over and said his sister was a big fan but was to scare to come over. JC looked over and smiled at her and signed an autograph for her.

On our honeymoon back in 2000, we saw Phil Collins on the backlot tour - he was standing outside one of the soundstages...

 

[ScrapperKimmyD]

On our last trip, I walked into the restroom and saw someone who looked familiar and started to say "Hey, what are you doing here???" then I realized that I knew who she was, but she had no clue as to who I was. I hurried into the stall to do my thing and could hear her talking and knew it was Ming Na (voice of Mulan). She was still standing there while I washed my hands and I hurried out to tell my DD to go back in and get her sister and hurry up because Mulan was in there! Then I posed my DH on the steps in front of the restroom so I could take a pic of my family as she walked out and not disturb her.

Instead, my she and my DD came walking out together, chatting. DD had walked up to her and said "My Mommy says you were Mulan" As they were walking out, I heard her say "She's right". She walked with DD to where we were and we chatted for a bit, then she spotted my camera and asked if I'd like to get a picture. I told her yes and snapped away.

She was very nice and gracious.

Later that night, we rode ToT with Lisa Welchel (Blair from Facts of Life). She was with her DH and DD and a CM. Of course, I bought the ride photo!

 

[Disney1976]

I've met Dave Barry and Donnie Osmond at Disney. Dave Barry was at a book signing at the Contemporary. I had met him and gotten an autograph years earlier when he spoke at my university, and he actually remembered speaking there! Donnie Osmond was at Ak signing the Mulan cd and other Mulan materials last year. That was pretty cool -he was very gracious to all his fans. The line to see him was so big they actually cut it off about a half hour early, too, I think.

 

[strmtroopr96]

My family and I saw the comedian Sinbad at Magic Kingdom on our first day there a few years back! Everyone was crowded around him and taking photos. We didn't want to bother him and his family so we snapped a shot of him from a distance and kept going. Very cool though!

LOL I have also seen Sinbad at MK but back in 1997. I was just starting my College Program and while touring the MK during Traditions, Sinbad was coming out of Alien Encounter as we were headed in.

I have since seen him 2 more times walking around our local Casino.

 

[K&K]

We were there in the beginning of May and Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo were staying at SSR resort one floor up from us...they got out of cab right in front of us...I was shocked...couldn't say a word! But I did get one pic as they were walking away!

It's kinda dark and crappy...but not too bad!

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

I would die if I saw Nick Lachey or Johnny Depp at WDW!

I have seen Former President Jimmy Carter while I was in line at Winnie the Pooh.

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Oh GROSS...I would throw up if I saw those HOGANS at WDW! I hope while we're there mama Hogan drives her (boo hoo Escalade sniff sniff boo hoo wah wah wahhhh) over to the and stays put!

Why are most of you so freaked out to talk to these celebs!? Have fun with them. I know you CM's have rules but had I stuck to "rules" I'd never partied with Keanu Reeves back in '95 and that was just FUN! Celebs are a lot of fun. Had I been in that monorail with Freddy Kruger ~ I've met 100's of famous peeps but never once asked for an autograph. They're more down to Earth when you don't act all starstruck even if you are. Just be cool and have some fun with them! You'll be surprised at how many of them you'll actually befriend and keep in touch with!

 

[yensidtlaw]

Christy Brinkley and her two children were on Space Mountain just ahead of us in August 2006. Wonder if she was there for free dining like us?
