celebritiy encounters?

[celebrationasheley]

I saw Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz. They were staying at the contemporary and got their personal entrance through the Main Street Bakery Door. Michael Eisner. Kelly Ripa and Regis. George Lucas numerous times. It was a rumor that he was a frequent at Caseys and the Ice Cream shop. While making a stop at the Ice cream shop while working, he was waiting in line. Verne Troyer, Mini me, In the tunnel. Michael Jackson. A couple of N'Syncers. And the Bucs, when they won the superbowl.

My wife and I saw Christie Brinkley coming out of the Nemo Show at AK. She was with at least one of her younger kids and seemed to have a very large bodygaurd.

While being in line at the Peter Pan ride we noticed people were looking at us and whispering. This continued for quite a while and I was about to ask what everyone was looking at when I turned around and saw John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) and his family standing right behind us in line also.
He realized we were thinking everyone was looking at us and got a kick at my reaction.

Does Mickey and Donald count????

Being from San Antonio & very proud of our good guy Spurs , its hard to mention anybody else.....but.... Since you asked.....

At WDW, we were in tomorrowland taking our obligatory first day ride the PeopleMover & we look down & low & behold we see this "crowd" of folks sorrounding this really BIG guy. When we got of the attraction & were heading by the speedway, we heard another guest say that was Shaq of the Lakers.

The ABSOLUTELY hilarious part of it is we had just arrivied from SA that day in ALL our SPURS gear (jerseys, tees, etc) ...and we were still wearing it in the Parks. The Spurs had knocked the Lakers out of the playoffs a round earlier.

My KIDS wanted to go show Shaq our jerseys etc...but good sense prevailed.

We saw him one more time that way, between the transition from Haunted Mansion area & Fantasy Land....so funny to see this huge crowd of "normal" sized people sorrounding this HUGE TALL guy.

Now....How do I go about meeting Captain Jack????? Just don't tell hubby..

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!

When Dh and I were at the Disney MGM studios back in May 2002, we went to see the Disney Playhouse Live On Stage. There was a handsome guy sitting right in front of us with a very pretty girl holding a 1-2 year old boy. People kept handing him autograph books the entire time and he kept signing them and passing them back. He kept looking at us as if to say "you don't know who I am?". This went on the entire show. After the show let out, we saw him, the girl, and the toddler again outside walking with a very well built man (bodyguard). People kept staring at him and snapping pictures. We felt kind of bad for him that he couldn't enjoy his vacation. He kept looking at us still surprised we didn't know who he was. We figured, he must be a local celebrity from Florida. A few weeks later I turned on the tv to a baseball game and instantly saw the guy on tv! I called DH and said "Isn't that the guy we saw everyone aggravating at MGM? Dh said yes, it sure is. Call me an idiot, but I was one of the people who didn't know what Derek Jeter looked like. On top of that, my co-worker was in love with him and was furious with me when she found out I was so close to him and didn't get a picture. Guess I need to watch more sports!

Years ago, the Disney / MGM Studios had a program called "Star of the Day" or something like that. They hosted celebrities, who rode in a short parade down Sunset Blvd. We saw MANY stars like this - including Michael J. Fox, Patty Duke (please tell me somebody out there knows who Patty Duke is). Annette Funicello (PLEASE PLEASE tell me you ALL know who that is). Lots of minor TV stars. The biggest one we saw was HARRISON FORD. We even saw him put his handprints in the cement in front of the Chinese Theater. He had just gotten a private ride on The Great Movie Ride (to check out his own AudioAnimatronic). THRILLING!

[Boojum]

I literally ran into him outside a restroom in Tomorrowland. He didn't look too happy with me, and I walked quickly away. That dude is very large.

[Figgyluv03]

I saw Kenny Baker (R2D2) in MGM studios, but that during Star Wars weekend and he had a little set up and stuff, but it was still cool. And when I was younger Princess Diana and the boys were in Epcot. We must have been hitting the wrong rides at the wrong time 'cause they would "close" the ride and say it was down for maintence. They must of led her around backstage 'cause we never got to see her face.

It's Disney - everyone gets mobbed!

Sorry....

[KAJUNKING]

I didn't know they are still alive...

As a child my father managed a movie theatre in Tampa. Occasionally he would meet with an actor who was in the latest movie. One actor was a gentleman named Harold Sakata, better known as "Odd Job" in the movie "Goldfinger". My family and I escorted him to MK, and it was great fun getting attention from the other guests as they recognized him!

[TinksPixieDust]

I was just there for ESPN the Weekend and since the place was crawling with athletes I met a ton of famous people! Including my favs Richard Seymour and Adam Vinatieri!!!! And someone posted about how they dont get mobbed. Surprisingly when I was there a lot pf people didnt realize there was a celebrity walking past them. WE saw countless athletes just walk down the middle of the street and no one would even look at them. The only way people would know..was a) if you were like my brother and know possibly everything about sports and know what all the guys/girls look like or b) there was a mob of people around them


it was quite fun though. We also have seen Drew Carey at AK when it first opened in '98 it is quite exciting though!

We saw MANY stars like this - including Michael J. Fox, Patty Duke (please tell me somebody out there knows who Patty Duke is). Annette Funicello (PLEASE PLEASE tell me you ALL know who that is).

O.K..... I'll admit it...... I remember them. I even had a crush on Annette ! Her aunt lived across the street from my aunt and I used to sit on her step and watch...... hoping Annette would come and visit !

Last year (we were there March 28-April 5) my DH SWEARS he saw Ron Jeremy at EPCOT.
