At Disney? I don't think I've ever seen a celebrity unless you count Chef Andrew Sutton at the Napa Rose in DL. I'm a bit of a fan boy for well-known chefs. Outside of Disney, I have a huge list, mostly because I worked AF1, heads of states, Congressional delegations, and was in a movie all while performing my duties at Andrews AFB.Favorite sweet snack...Mickey Bar
Celebrity sightings...I have an almost unfortunate knack, especially for my family sake, of seeing celebrities. Its an unusual gift in I notice certain facial recognition that jump out at me. I dont get over excited and google and gaga, I just notice and mention to my family, hey, that's so and so. Seen many musicians at Garden Rocks and Flower Power shows. My 1st sighting was our 2nd trip, saw Robert Urich and his DW(one of the Von Trapp girls in Sound of Music)at Country Bears. After that, its become a bit of a blur, but I will tap into the memory bank. Saw Gary Sinise and family at Olivias, Trisha Yearwood at AK, Jep Robertson(Duck Dynasty)and family at HS, Chipper Jones(Atlanta Braves)at MK with his sons. Met Bobby Cox(manager Atlanta Braves)at AKL. He is the only one I ever approached. Whoopi at MK. Several more but I cant remember
So lets start another one
In same scenario as sweet treats, whats your favorite savory treat at WDW?
For me, it sounds weird, but the sour cream and chive popcorn located at the stand near JIYI in Epcot. I used to always enjoy
the Jalapeño Cheese stuffed pretzel in varying places but they did away with it a few years back.
This is a good question and it has me thinking that I actually don't usually get a savory treat while I'm there. I'm gonna have to give it some more thought but it is interesting to me that I think the only non sweet treat I usually get there is a soft pretzel.Favorite sweet snack...Mickey Bar

It's the same way for us especially since we usually do the dining plan. You just get so much food that I don't have room for snacks. Usually even have snack credits leftover at the end. Then on the last day we hit the shop and buy candy and treats to take home with us. LOLI think the only non-sweet snack I ever get regularly is a Mickey pretzel, maybe sometimes with cheese. I'm usually so full from all the food I eat at regular meals, I'm rarely snacking! I guess if we count a beer as a snack, then that would be my other choice.

We're the opposite - we'll eat some regular meals but a lot is just eating as we go and using QS a lot since we find there are some very good options for that these days. If we've snacked then we just get a little less for a meal or maybe the "snack" becomes the meal.
We have also seen Gary Sinise and Meredith Vieira at the Ca
AKL Jambo all the way! I love the vibe there, the restaurants, the bar, the pool, the CMs, the view....everything. When I save up enough for a second contract, it'll be there for sure.Question: What is your second favorite resort after the WL, and why?
I'd love to stay at POR, so quaint and charming!If there were only one Moderate resort room available on property, which would you hope for? And why?
Pineapple upside down cake with Dole Whip on top!Question: If you could be enjoying a sweet treat at WDW right now, what would it be? (and where are you having it, unless your answer makes it obvious!)
Fellow bread pudding lover here! I get it from Tambu lounge sometimes too. I have the recipe and make it at home when I am feeling really homesick for Disney.But I'd have to add the Ohana Bread Pudding as an alternative. When we've eat at Kona Cafe, they don't have the bread pudding on their dessert menu but they've always been kind enough to bring me some from Ohana. And it's always excellent!
Yes, Gary Sinise at the Candlelight Processional last year. He was amazing!Have you ever seen a celebrity at WDW? Either performing or just as a park guest.
I am a sucker for a fresh Mickey pretzel washed down with an ice cold Safari Amber.In same scenario as sweet treats, whats your favorite savory treat at WDW?
Gary Sinise and Edward James Olmos were outstanding...sharing personal impressions and feelings of what the Nativity story meant to them and their families. Meredith Vieira basically just came and basically just read the narrative with no emotion.
I wish that DL CP was done the same way as at WDW. I would like to be able to go see it there but you can't.Our CP narrators have been generally excellent. In order of our favorites, they have been Gary Sinise (twice), Edward James Olmos, Warwick Davis, Bart Millard (lead singer of "Mercy Me" and Meredith Vieira.

The two times we saw Gary Sinise, it was Christmas Eve. While we always enjoy Candlelight Processional, listening to the story and hearing the music on Christmas Eve was indeed very moving as we were celebrating Christmas as a family at WDW.

You can't actually get in to see the performance though can you? Just from a distance. At least that is what my friend told me but I may have misunderstood. She has been in the choir a number of times including when Dick Van Dyke did it. She was standing just feet from him and he talked to her!!!!Well, you can. You just have to spend all day waiting to do so! I'd love to see that to - the original and all that. Would really have loved to see it when Dick Van Dyke was the narrator a few years ago.

Ok that makes sense as to what she actually said as far as the official seating is for VIP. I wasn't sure how it worked for other people.You can see it. At least I've read several reports - here on the DL board too, just haven't invested the time to do it ourselves. And you can be closer than we've often been for the WDW CP. It's held on the train station platform so not inside. They set up the chairs for VIPS etc right in front but there are spots just around for non-ticketed/vip. If you want to be close you have to devote your day to staking out your spot.
Here's a link to a post with pictures of someone who waited this past Dec. It sounds like the official line some CM's give is that you can't see it without a ticket but so far that hasn't been true. I find a post or two every year.
