Superstar, SPOTTED!

[plutosnana]

I'm not sure if i put this in the right place? :blush:
But I was wondering if anyone has seen any superstars at WDW, (Or did someone already post this?)
And it must be a star not counting Mickey mouse charcters, muppets, etc.

:goofy:

[Greenlawler]

I think this has been posted before, but what the hey.....

We saw Wierd Al Yankovick at Disneyland two years ago...and we ran into someone who saw Johnny Depp last week at the Poly.

[sassafras]

A couple of years ago, we saw Nancy Kerrigan waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise at DW. Also, saw one of the Turtles (they were at the F&G Fest), sitting on a bench in Epcot people watching.

[eam]

Saw Herb Edelman (played Bea Arthur's husband on Golden Girls) in Liberty Square, and saw Michael Jackson walking around and riding Dumbo. The flashbulbs (dating myself) going off were blinding from all of the people following him.

[kathiep]

On Toy Story Mania, we rode in the car in front of Roger Clemens. Made my hubby's day although this was just before the scandal.

[disneymom15]

We saw Gary Sinise in 2004. We were at Rock n rollercoaster, he was there with his family & a CM was getting ready to escort them onto the ride. He was so close I could have touched him.

[cetacean01]

We saw Johnny from "Johnny and the Sprites" at Typhoon Lagoon......we were also there during the Millenium and saw Diane Sawyer.....

[Pete Olsen]

We saw Michael Eisner the evening before the official opening of Mickey's Birthday Land, which later became Mickey's Toontown. In Sept2008, we saw Matt Lauer of NBC's Today Show with his family walking by the castle.

[Belster]

Two years ago we were right next to the Cheetah Sisters at a DHS parade....I must say they were VERY rude to my daughter. I was so surprised. Where are they now??? :mickey:

I was able to snap a few pics if anyone wants to see.

[Tinkerfreak]

A few years ago DH and I did a trip with not kids. Corbin Bleu bumped into me while being escorted into a private area near the American Pavillion. I didn't even see him it happened so fast. I kept wondering why all these people were taking my picture all of a sudden (duh)and then he bumped into me right before entering the area and all I could see was his hair. When we went into the next gift shop DH pointed him out on a T-shirt and said thats they guy who bumped into you.
Then on the same trip he worked out in the gym at the AKL with Zack Effron. My girls were really mad that they were not there.:D

[grumpyguy]

We were at the world in sept and saw one of hugh hefner's blonde's from the tv show (don't know the name).One day she was at the American adventure in Epcot,then the next day,
saw her at the gift shop outside of potc at MK..
She was with another gal to whom i did not recognize (but attractive)and a CM escorting them.They were taking pics with people but looked a tad annoyed when asked..

[BrerGnat]

Saw Diane Keaton at Disneyland in front of Star Traders.

[BugeyedMuggy]

Years ago at RnR we saw Lil' Bow Wow (spell?) with alot of screaming girls following him. That's the only reason we knew he was somebody. Our DD had to tell us who he was.:ack: Wish I had seen Johnny Depp when we were there. We heard he was around. Wonder if that's why RnR was down one morning....

[Gator]

I saw Theo Epstein, the General Manager for the Boston RedSox. Ok, maybe not famous to you, but he's famous to me. Go Sox!

[Melanie]

Saw Diane Keaton at Disneyland in front of Star Traders.

Just curious Natalie, is that the only star you've ever seen at Disneyland? You go so often, and it seems like there is a different star there every day. Just thought you'd maybe seen more. Seems like every time I go there, I have to leave earlier than the rest of my traveling party and they always see someone!

[ftwildernesskid]

Years ago I actually met Michael Jackson at Pleasure Island. He had rented out an entire building and my sister and I happened to be there when he came out.
The last time we were there, John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston were getting on the monorail at the same time as us with their family...they were very nice.

[NJDad]

Obviously depends on your definition of superstar, obviously.

Michael Jackson was a superstar. Diane Keaton? A star.

I wouldn't recognize Theo Epstein, who I've read a lot about, let alone people I've never heard of, like Johnny and the Sprites.

It doesn't really matter to me!
:) I haven't heard of some of the certain stars but I've heard of others! I don't mind!


:goofy:

[princessjojo]

We were there in June 2008 and the family from Little People, Big World were there. Guess what made me notice them was that they were esorted out of a restricted area by the restrooms just between The Plaza Restaurant and Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station. They weren't nice, as they never attempted to apologize as they almost ran over my children with their scooters. And at that time, I had no real idea who they were and really didn't care.

Later that same summer, end of Aug/first of Sept. we were there just after the Summer Olympics and we caught Michael Phelps when he was Grand Marshall of the parade and during the same visit we rode EE just in front of Cole & Dylan Sprouse of The Suite Life. My kids had to point them out to me.

Other than that, I never really notice celeb's, I just tend to look past the other people around me unless something they do or have on really catches my eye.

[edwards2301]

A lonnnnnggg time ago when I was little we saw Michael Landon from "Little House on the Praire". He was getting ready to board the monorail at the MK. Then a few years back we saw a really tall guy in front of the AA and I didn't know who he was but a lot of people were asking him for his autograph. So I marched up and thought once I get the autograph I will figure it out. But, guess what, couldn't recognize who he was from his signature either so I came away with an autograph from someone that I don't even know:) Kind of funny!!!I did ask a few people around me and they didn't know who he was either:)

[dixielandings]

At DL, I've seen Harold Ramis (in the 80s, not long after Ghostbusters) and Jon Favreau.

My DH saw Hines Ward at MK (plays for the Steelers). I was there but I don't recognize players without their helmets and pads! haha

[IamBelle]

Later that same summer, end of Aug/first of Sept. we were there just after the Summer Olympics and we caught Michael Phelps when he was Grand Marshall of the parade

I saw him too!! Also, in April, my friends and I walked into Jason Earls (jackson from Hannah Montana) in DTD!! It was so unexpected! He was just walking around with two of his friends.

[dixielandings]

I just noticed the "thumbs down" at the top of my post. I don't know how that got there and I can't get rid of it. It is no indication of how I feel about this thread! :mickey:

Also, I remembered I saw Sara Gilbert (from Roseanne) at DL a couple of years ago. Is she a superstar? Or was she? Hmmm...

[andreallybadeggs]

One of DD's favorite stories is that she saw Joey Fatone twice in one year; once on each coast. First at DL she saw him and family in the distance and was bummed all day because she couldn't get closer. Fate steps in.... :) a few months later she was waiting to board elevator at TOT. CM asked politely if they would wait for one more elevator because they needed to board someone else. About that time she sees, you guessed, it JF and family coming to board the elevator. The CM asked him if he would mind if others rode with them and he said not at all. DD just about fell over from excitement. She was determined not to miss out on her great moment so as they were all leaving she tapped him from behind and said "You should've won Dancing with the Stars." He smiled and said thanks and went on. She procedes to call me, screaming into her phone,-- " I touched Joey Fatone's bicep!":party: lol

[PeterPan]

Well.. I saw all of InSync perform on a stage in front of the Chinese Theater. This was when they were just starting out - had no hits at the time. Saw Patty Duke (she is a super star to me! Academy Award winner!) and Michael J. Fox.

I guess the biggest star I ever saw was Harrison Ford. He was rushed in to put his handprints and autograph in cement in front of the Chinese Theater. No ceremony, no fanfare, no announcement. Just dashed in, did the deed, and was quickly escorted out. We were told he had just ridden the Great Movie Ride and was going to a performance of The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular.

[elmjimmlm]

I saw Angela Bassett in Epcot...She was the narrator for the CP but she was there and I did see her...:blush:

[natstroop]

I saw Kelly Rippa with her children in Animal Kingdom in 2007. My DH spotted her as she was walking by. She was walking with a group of other people and an escort. Right when she got by us, her son ran up to a vendor booth to try on a hat. She went over to get him, so I went up to her. I told her quiety that I didnt' want to make a scene for her, but wanted to tell her that I love her show. She said thanks really nicely and went on her way again. I got a few pictures of her as she was walking and taking pictures herself.

[emfleck]

I saw Huey Lewis and his band having dinner at Maya Grill the same time we did. I found the courage (with a little help from 2 very large margaritas :marg:) to go over and ask for his autograph. His band made jokes that I had to pay for their dinner in exchange.

[BugeyedMuggy]

I saw Matt Hotchberg at Hollywood Studios.:secret:

[Diznee4Me]

Fall of 2008 I saw Ryan Seacrest filming a segment for E! entertainment on the opening of the American Idol experience. He was standing on the grassy hill just as you enter the Brown Derby. He was answering question from the group watching him between takes. I yelled out "where's Joel McHale?" but he didn't answer. :D

A few years ago a friend of mine saw Steven Tyler outside of IASW. My friend's young son had "disappeared" and when he yelled for him he had somehow gotten mixed up with Tylers group. Too funny - had to ask for his son back from Steven Tyler!

[Granny Jill A]

During my VERY FIRST TRIP to WDW with my daughter (1992) we walked right by John Travolta. He was dressed all in black and had a great big smile on his face. I almost dropped in my tracks. And where was my camera? In my backpack :mad:

[NewDVCowner]

A couple of years ago I saw Dog the Bounty Hunter at the Grand Californian. Never would have noticed him if a couple of teenage boys hadn't nearly ran me over to get his autograph (which he refused).

[Wall-e]

Not really a Superstar, but I saw David Archuletta at California Adventure last Friday.

[Iluvpooh]

I had never met anyone famous at WDW until the same trip last year. During the week, we saw Robert Irvine from Dinner Impossible filming an episode,we met and had pics taken with Drew Brees the day after the super bowl, & ran into Demi Lavato & Joe Jonas who were there giving a concert. We just happened to be in club cool when security escorted them through.
My husband swears he met Joe Rhode in the bathroom at AK in 2001.:blush:

[Imagineer1981]

when I used to work there I saw Robin Williams which was awesome. Also Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker (crabby woman).

[SpecJoe Magic]

I saw Michael and Janet Jackson inside Space Mountain many years ago. They had been brought into the attraction through a backstage area and were already seated in a rocket by the time I spotted them.

I also saw Neal Smith, who played on the Denver Broncos when they won the Superbowl in the late 90s, though he was playing for the Kansas City Chiefs at the time. My sister and I had our picture taken with him.

[IrishMickey]

We saw Snoop Dog at ESPN Zone in DTD, my DD at the time was about 18 months and getting down to the music and some of Snoop Dog's crew took notice, my DH and I could not believe that this was the time we forgot the camera. He was very gracious to everyone who recognized him. I would have loved a picture of my DD in her Pink Tinkerbell sweatshirt and Snoop Dog and his posse!

[bdm@pga]

I was on the Disney Cruise with Michael Anthony, Former bass player from Van Halen. Great Guy, nice family. the weird part was that I was the only one who recognized him...the bigger surprise was that they were debuting Herby the Love Bug on the ship, of which Van Halen's Jump was on the soundtrack...nobody on the ship ..even the staff knew who he was or that he was there or that there was a coincidence of the Herby The Love Bug thing.....I guess he's only a celebrity to us 80's Rock and Rollers:mickey:

[wedway76]

I wouldn't call her a SUPER Star, but a Star nonetheless, but many years ago we saw Gena Davis shopping on Main Street with a personal guide.

[Phantod]

Our daughter was a CM at Jungle Cruise at DL. She had Jack Nicholson and George Alexander on her boat at different times. She saw Michael Jackson at the park some other day. Also saw Val Kilmer on the Jungle Cruise (different boat) and got to help Jon Bon Jovi onto a boat (helped him by the elbow). This would have all been in the late 90's, since she left DL in 2000.

We were at DL the end of September and saw Kelsey Grammer (my daughter got a picture). She saw him in DL (we missed it), but we later saw him at Calif Adventure.

When we were at DL last December, some of our group saw Halle Barry.

[Jeri Lynn]

Saw Elizabeth from the Walton's many years ago. Rode the elevator at the Beach Club with Ben Vereen, he was narrating the Candlelight Processional.

Just returned home and while I was at the Halloween party on Tuesday, the 19th, a CM told us that Johnny Depp was supposed to be Jack Sparrow in the parade...but I don't think it was him...bummer!!

[frakers]

Over the years, our group has seen Michael J. Fox, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, Mandy Moore and Kelsey Grammar at various spots around WDW, pretty cool. :cool:

[WishingStar2006]

I saw Vincent D'Onofrio from Law and Order Criminal Intent having brunch with his family at the Grand Floridian Cafe...I acted like a fool and asked for his autograph, which he graciously gave me :mickey: It's framed and on my living room wall to this day!!!

Such fun!

[gmgdisneymom]

We saw johnny depp on a trip about two years ago and we saw Brenda Song doing a promo in front of the castle for the Disney Channel

[sneezyone]

I saw Angela Bassett in Epcot...She was the narrator for the CP but she was there and I did see her...:blush:

funny I was there that night too! it's a small world after all!

[Rekenna]

We saw Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine/Kitt Kitridge) once.

[disneymom2000]

I have seen a couple of "stars" but in 1993 - I think it was 1993 - we had just left the park to head to the cruise when Princess Di got there with Prince William and Harry. I was so bummed not to have gotten to see her.
