Any celebrity sightings??

[I Believe n Fairies]

Just wondering if anyone has ran into a celebrity in Disney. Surely the stars take their kiddies to the happiest place on earth. :earboy2:

Thought maybe some would have a story to share....

Last Nov. 2004 while at Typhoon Lagoon we saw Cal Ripkin, he had a
part of the park roped off for him with security so you could not get
near him and years ago we saw Lawrence Taylor walking thru MGM.

[jaycns]

We saw "Mr. Cooper" (I cannot think of his real name right now) from Hanging with Mr. Cooper this past September at MK. He didn't have security or anything but nobody was really bugging him either. I saw some people shouting "Hey Mr. Cooper" and waving but nobody was going up to him and interupting his vacation.

We saw Meredith Viera from The View and her kids at Typhoon Lagoon one year! It was pretty neat. She was floating in a tube right next to me!

DH saw Courtney Cox Arquette and David ARquette in the magic Kingdom.

[Betty X]

We saw Scottie Pippen at Seashore Sweets on the Boardwalk last year in January. We also saw Sinbad at the Boardwalk at the valet car park on the same trip. First and only celebrities we ever saw in 7 years of going.

I've seen a couple of overgrown happy rodents with big ears on my trips to WDW. They were approachable, gave autographs, but didn't say much.

And my kids can't stop talking about it . . . .

[ForTheLoveofDisney]

On this last trip 11/24-12/3 they were filming the Christmas parade.

We were trying to get back to the AK from MK so we decided we'd ride the monorail over to the Contemporary rather than trying to get back to TTC and then on to AK.

Anyway, I said to DH let's stop into this store (at the Contemporary) and DH said No, we have a plane to catch. After a tiny little beg he said OK but to make it quick. We walked into a virtually empty store and could hear Kelly Ripa, she has a very recognizable voice. We wandered around to a table and there she was! :earseek: She was holding her baby on one hip and her daughter was checking out the merchandise and she was calling after Michael (her other son). Surprisingly she did not have an entourage (sp?) of CM or security. Just two CM's and one was filling up bags of stuff they were picking out. It was really kind of neat seeing her just being a consumer and a mom. We did not bother her because she was on "vacation" with her family. Technically she was working to film the parade but you know what I mean. She smiled at us and we smiled back. She seemed very nice and not at all annoyed that us common folk :rotfl: were in her presence.
You know how some celebs. act :rolleyes: Like they're not just normal people like us.
Anyway, that's my celeb story.

I saw Lawrence Taylor the week after Christmas 2005. He was on the Ferry leaving The Magic Kingdom going back to the TTC. His girlfriend's outfit was not Minnie approved but Ol' Matt liked it. haha

[byoung]

See Mickey and his friends all the time. :banana: :Pinkbounc :banana:

[dhcoffey]

Met Vincent D'Onofrio from Law & Order Criminal Intent at MVMCP Dec. 11th. Very nice guy, there with his son.

[sheepygirl23]

We saw JayZ a few years ago at MGM.

[Spark]

We saw Steven Tyler upon exiting the Pirates of the Caribbean a year and a half ago...He was shopping for pirate t-shirts and actually stood in line with everyone else to buy his things. He was being escorted by a Disney person. He was with his ?wife? and a daughter (beautiful girl). You can tell he's used to being the center of attention-he pretty much just went about his business while a group of twenty-something guys were standing in awe! It was cool, then, to take our boys on the Rockin' Roller Coaster and show them who we saw!!

[BunnieGene]

I saw Hulk Hogan at MGM a few years ago.

[Amyn1274]

I was not with my family but they saw John Travolta and his family on a trip a couple years ago at MK. He was super nice and even let them take a picture with him. :flower:

[CA Disney Fans]

We saw "Mr. Cooper" (I cannot think of his real name right now) from Hanging with Mr. Cooper this past September at MK. He didn't have security or anything but nobody was really bugging him either. I saw some people shouting "Hey Mr. Cooper" and waving but nobody was going up to him and interupting his vacation.

I believe his name is Mark Curry.

We saw Gary Sinise at the boat dock by the Yacht & Beach Club. He and his family were in line to rent Water Mice.

[HappyLawyer]

My cousin and i will be there with our families in Dec. I do not post her name, she has asked me not to, but from a different thread and clues some of you already know who we are. C U In December.

[KelleyGirl]

We once saw Laura Innes from ER in the "Lights,Camera,Motorcades" parade at MGM. I'm also pretty sure we saw Drew Carey in the Adventurers Club in June 1996, but didn't realize it until it was too late. I would love to confirm that one!

[Trails End Sever]

We saw "Mr. Cooper" (I cannot think of his real name right now) from Hanging with Mr. Cooper this past September at MK. He didn't have security or anything but nobody was really bugging him either. I saw some people shouting "Hey Mr. Cooper" and waving but nobody was going up to him and interupting his vacation.

Off the clock, I ran into him at Downtown Disney in the fall of 04.

The biggest celebrity was when Bruce Springsteen got on a treadmill behind me at the Disney Institute (I was a local member of the fitness center for over a year, and I think there were Orlando Magic players as well).

I've seen Denise Austin, a few others as well.

I love Trails End (to the Trails End Server). :)

Oh - and during the Millenium celebration, there were all kinds of people walking around, like Drew Carrey, Wayne Brady, Fess Parker, etc.

I saw Roseanne on the monorail and Danny Dovito and Ria Pearlman at the Grand Floridian.

[DONNAMW]

We saw Kelly Ripa and her husband while we were waiting for the car from valet. They arrived at the Floridian on 1-26 about 9:30 pm. Two children were asleep and they were carrying them. On Monday's show 1-30. She mentioned she was with her parents on a Small world ride and her Dad teared up because he was with the grandchildren.
Funny thing, a friend traveling with us said lets go over to the Floridian for dinner and maybe we can see a star. He spotted her first.

[TikiGoddess]

I stood next to Caesar Romero in the O Canada show in the 90's - wasn't he the Joker on the Batman T.V. series? We also saw Donny Osmond on the same trip at MGM filming a music video. It was strange. My aunt ran after him-he was more her era than mine.

[Unregistered]

My parents and my aunt and uncle work there, on my mom's first day on the job, first guest was Rosie O'Donnell..She was very nice. My uncle helped Ludicris (sp?) on the buzz lightyear ride. All four are really used to it now and forget to tell me who they saw.

[Thinktinknpixiedust]

I worked there quite a few years ago in the Magic Kingdom. I just so happened to be doing parades that day and was given "the bridge" int between Liberty square and castle front. It is usuallyl reserved for lucky families or VIP... we are never told which it will be. But I can say that I watched Spectromagic with Demi Moore and her children. Bruce Willis was with them, but "missing" at the time of the parade... sadly they split a few months later. But I thought that was really cool!

Gwen Stefani and her band No Doubt waited in line for Snow White right after their first record went big...

They are everywhere there.

We saw Wayne Brady from Who's Line back in Jan of 1999 at the MK.

I saw her too! We were on the train in magic kingdom going from toon town to the park entrance and I looked over and had to look twice. I told my BF I swear that was Kelly Ripa and he thought I was crazy.
