Have you ever accidentally run into a celebrity at WDW?

[dioxide45]

I can't think of any other than Stephen Miller doing his handprints. But that wasn't some random thing. Even if I saw someone famous, I might glance over and then just move on. My wife on the other hand.... To me, just another person trying to take in a day at the parks. Their poop stinks too...

Last year I saw June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie) and Paul Scheer (he's been in a bunch of stuff) in line for ROTR. They were with their kids and either people didn't recognize them or were just leaving them alone.

Depends on how you define celebrity.
We saw Nappy-Tabs and their little boy at MK a few years ago
Nappy-Tabs are Napoleon and Tabitha, fabulous choreographers who were a mainstay on So You Think You Can Dance. Did some of the best hip-hop type dances you have ever seen. Also did some choreo work for touring music artists.

As a huge fan of theirs and the show I was very excited to see them

Taylor Swift at Topoplino's breakfast. She was complaining that she couldn't order two entrees anymore.

Wasn’t quite at WdW but it was our Disney Holiday _ The Arctic Monkeya at Islands of Adventure on our day there!

Does walking around a corner and randomly seeing Kool and the Gang and KC and the Sunshine Band on the West End Stage at Pleasure Island count? (Yeah, I didn’t think so )

HA. Wow, Pleasure Island, now that takes me back to the day...

I lived in Orlando during the PI heyday. Spent many an evening there! The AMC was the closest theater to my house, so we’d always hang out after a late movie.

Last Dec. Josh Gad and his group were on the boat behind mine on Navi at AK. No one seemed to notice but me! I had been to CP the night before when he narrated. Didn’t want to intrude but figured it was ok to take a picture while their guide was taking a group photo
They were on the train ahead of mine on MMRR at HS the next day… made me feel like I was a stalker! Lol

Saw Paris Hilton at MCO quite a few years back. As far as vloggers, was in the pool with Tim and Jen Tracker at Bay Lake. Both were extremely nice!

 

[1GoldenSun]

Yes!

Mickey and Minnie and Donald and Daisy and Pluto and Goofy and Chip and Dale and Stitch and Cinderella and Cruella and Pooh and Snow White and the Mad Hatter and Piglet and the Beast and Alice and...lots more!

Eons ago I was at Epcot during its relatively early years (I think it would have been spring of 1986 or 1987) and Gary Coleman was in line for one of the rides (Figment, IIRC) in front of us with his ginormous bodyguard.

I remember when Disney/MGM Studios used to have a Celebrity of the Day, and they’d open the park and ride in the car down the street in the morning, pointing to different guests in the crowd like they were famous people. I remember Isabel Sanford was there my first day. Those were the days.

Two experiences and both were in the elevator at the Yacht Club. The first was Susan Lucci, probably about 20 years ago and the second was Neil Patrick Harris, and his husband David Burtka about 10 years ago. My aunt and my mom were huge All My Children fans, so I did say hello to Susan Lucci and told her that. She very kindly said to tell my mom and my aunt that she said hello and thanks for being fans. We just rode the elevator with Neil and David, and didn’t say anything to them.

I saw Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley when their daughter Alexa was in a stroller when we were at MK. I didn’t recognize her at first, but I recognized him right away. They had one VIP guide with them, but no one else. I also saw John Lithgow in MK.

The only ones I have seen at a resort were both at CR. Fess Parker was in the same restaurant just one table over, and at the same restaurant on another night one of the actors from the show Thirtysomething was a couple tables over (I didn’t watch that show, but the friend I was with recognized him.

Ok so this is really funny because I ran into Vincent D'Onofrio (from Adventures in Babysitting and Law and Order Criminal Intent) at the Yacht Club when I was staying on the club level 25 years ago. I said that I admired his work, he said thanks, we grabbed our waffles and went our separate ways.

I love his work! He’s underrated for sure.

During Easter week this year, I was on a boat for Gran Fiesta Tour with Wes Brown from like a million Hallmark Christmas movies. I was texting with my friend while we were in line to see if she thought it was him. Lol I didn’t bother him though.

I also saw Alan Thicke backstage at DAK when I was a CP.

I’ve run into John Stamos on property.

Shared an elevator at YC with Robert Irvine (chef seen a lot on Food Network), who, while unfair to judge from a 20 second elevator ride, seemed rather annoyed to be there.

One night Wishes was slightly delayed because of extra crowd control triggered by Honey Boo Boo & Co., in MK. I remember we were watching from TOTWL at BLT. @Brian Noble and Mrs. Brian Noble were with us that night. And that was my brush with Greatness at Disney. (HBB, not BN.)
