celebs in wdw

[carolfoy]

Hi, has anyone come across anyone famous whilst in WDW? did they have to queue for rides too? or were they sad c-list celebs who strutted around like everyone should know who they are?
just interested.
I haven't by the way but I did bump into an old friend in TL last October who I hadn't seen for about 6 years

[Miffy2003]

We saw Jonathan Ross and family in Innoventions in August 2002. Well we saw his wife first! You can't really miss her, LOL

I don't think he counts as a celeb in America though :rolleyes:

We met Jeremy Spake (that guy from Airport) at MGM Studios, he was filming for the Holiday programme and he was really friendly, just like he is on the TV, he gave DD an autograph and we had a photo taken.

I was gutted to hear that Donny Osmond was at Downtown Disney this past Christmas and I didn't see him :sad1:

I saw Westlife play at Downtown Disney in 2000 - it was funny cause it was mostly British people that were there!!

[diberry]

We saw Chris Evans, Billie Piper and Danny Baker while we were waiting for the fireworks to start in the Magic Kingdom at WDW - they were walking about near the bridge into Adventureland - and saw Dawn French and Lenny Henry getting off the same plane from UK as our son in 2001 - he was gutted to know he'd been on the same plane as Lenny Henry and didn't know - no doubt they weren't in cattle class!! Being very British we studiously ignored them all!!! :rolleyes1

Hi

We were sat 2 seats away from Andy Gray (footballer and presenter, not sure what team) on our flight home from Orlando, Christmas 2003, we were also stood right next to him at the luggage pick up at Gatwick. (He did'nt offer to help me lift my case off though.)

Last October, when staying in Liverpool, I was backing my wheelchair out of the Hotel lift into the lobby. There was a huge crowd of people blocking the lift doors, but I forced my way through them. It was Donny Osmond, his minders and the press.

Couple of years back, Roy Disney was at the next table at Flying Fish - but I suppose he doesn't realy count as he works (worked?) there!

............yes, Eeyore was in the area..........

[Kevin Stringer]

I know I've mentioned this before, but......

Tam was on the teacups once with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. (Many years ago, obviously).
The next day we were walking through Fantasyland and we passed them again! I reckon they were stalking me.

My DH saw Naomi Campbell in MK in May 2002, while he was away from us having a smoke in the designated area around Sp Mtn, he said lots of people were shouting and saying 'Hi' to her but she totally ignored them! She was with a rather large mountain of a man who was surely one of her security! Needless to say no-one approached her!! :cool1:

[Tartan Tigger]

I saw Westlife then too and got the whole thing on video.

[CarolynU]

At different times at the MK we have seen Robin Williams with his daughter, John Travolta with his wife and family and Gareth Gates with his family. We also saw Christina Aguillera performing outside the castle, as was the boy band BB Mak.
At MGM we met Michael Eisner and saw another boyband O Town.
At Epcot DS who was a CM at the time met Trevor Nelson, and Richard Whitely filming for a holiday programme. He also saw Michael Jackson and entourage.
I think that's it.

How about this one My fave group KISS were in town to play Orlando Arena (Great concert and ive seen them around 20 times) and The same day I saw them on The Alien Encounter Ride In MK I still pinch myself now!!!

[DisneySurfGirl]

I saw Katie Hill (used to be on Blue Peter now does Top 40 Chart on Sundays on the radio) in 2001. She was filming for Blue Peter at Sea World in front of the Flamingos. She's very tall... I also saw Daniel Beddingfield at Universal in 2003 - he's quite the star over in the US! OK so it's only Z-List celebs for me but hey, it all counts! :banana:
