celebritiy encounters?

**bratmaster** · 02-21-2007, 03:29 PM

just curious - has anybody ever seen or had an encounter with a celebrity in the parks? They must go there too; just wondering if anybody has a story to share! (I asked this a few years ago and somebody said they saw nicholas cage!)

My sister claims she ran right into Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in World Showcase near Japan and he was very nice and asked if she was enjoying her day.

Wow, that's a seriously old pic. That was back when the Gloved One was still a black man instead of a white woman.

Shari, please tell me that's not you sitting next to him.

Ahh wow flashback!!! How did this happen? Wohoo for you!

I'm a tad bit jealous!!!

No! Not me there! I was about 16 when we took it and the little girl's mom asked us to send a copy of the photo. It was back in April 84 I was in high school right before Capt EO and after Thriller, said before wouldn't want to be taking a pic of him now!

**Strmchsr** · 02-21-2007, 06:14 PM

Whew! That makes me feel a little bit better!

Last year (we were there March 28-April 5) my DH SWEARS he saw Ron Jeremy at EPCOT. This was before we even started our beer tour, and the DH is pretty good with faces. I went skipping down the concourse to catch a glimpse, but I didn't see him so I can't confirm it. Scary thought, Ron Jeremy at WDW!

I also saw Michael Jackson. Portions of Pleasure Island closed for him the night we were there. He was leaving one club and going to another with his huge band of bodyguards surrounding him. I happened to be right where he was coming downstairs and as he passed he said hello to my sister and me. By then people had seen him and swarmed over to where he was...a little scary to be in a such a large crowd pushing toward you. I wasn't a big fan, but it was still cool to see him. I can't remember what year it was exactly, but I'm thinking early 90s.

In 2000 we saw Hulk Hogan when we were exiting Splash Mountain. He was waiting for some people who were getting off too. My brother went up and asked if it was him and he said it was and shook his hand.

I saw Kelly Rippa and her kids getting off PotC in the gift shop. She was with some disney guides (or some type of CM). She was with that guy from the soap opera shows (her husband I think).

**JustCallMeSquishy** · 02-21-2007, 11:40 PM

While I was a CM at DLR I saw:

Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson
Kristian Alfonso and Victor Alfieri (Days of our Lives)
Casey and Jean Kasem

My first WDW trip we were in line at Primeval Whirl chit chatting with Usher and Chili!! I didn't even realize it was them, we were just being friendly!! DH told me after we left, I felt stupid for not even recognizing them and asking for a pix or something

I think that's it...

When we were there in April '02 we saw Joey Lawrence browsing the shops in France. The same day we also heard from CMs that John Stamos was in the parks, but we didn't see him, although I would have liked to.

**ChipDale2708** · 02-22-2007, 11:02 AM

We saw David Copperfield at the Indiana Jones show in MGM. Before the show people kept running down to take his picture. After awhile he stood up w/ a camera and started taking the audiences pictures. Not sure if he was being funny or sending a message. This was sometime in the mid-90's when I believe he was going to create an attraction with Disney at MGM. I remember there being a sign out front but I can't recall what it was supposed to be. Anybody else remember this?

**DisneyDreamer** · 02-22-2007, 11:36 AM

In February '06 my DS was at Epcot wearing his Teddy Bruschi jersey (NE Patriots) when someone tapped him on his shoulder -- it was Teddy Bruschi!!! My son was by himself at the time and speechless! I wish I could have been there. Also during that trip I saw someone who looked so much like George Lucas at MGM. Later that night at Fantasmic I heard people talking about having seen George Lucas that day, so I guess I DID see him! It was a great trip. Oh, how I miss WDW

Way back, when I was in middle school (I am now in my 30s), my brother spotted Doug Flutie. My dad wouldn't let us say anything and told us to respect his space and let him be with his family. Last February, we saw Bob Kraft in Magic Kingdom and my dad walked right up to him and said hello. Mr. Kraft then gave my 14 month old son (who happened to be wearing a Patriots hat) a pin with the Lombardi trophy and Patriots symbol on it. We give my dad a hard time, since he never let my brother or I talk to any celebrities we saw when we were younger. He was so happy to meet Mr. Kraft and tell him how much he loves the Patriots. My DH was quite excited too. Now, all they talk about is how they didn't ask to get a picture with him!

**WEDTOPIA** · 02-22-2007, 12:28 PM

The family and I saw Toby Keith with his family at the Magic Kingdom in December of ' 05. We got a few pictures of him waiting by Splash Mountain. Of course he had his own personal tour guide to take him around. Must be nice !

**bobpfef** · 02-22-2007, 01:05 PM

My son and I were getting off BTMR this past Jan when Joakim Noah, the basketball player from the University of Florida was getting off.He was a few cars behind us. Man, he was quite tall and had crazy hair.

**bratmaster** · 02-22-2007, 02:22 PM
