Haven't ever noticed anyone at Disney - except of course Mickey and the gang! But I believe we'll be there at the same time as the Steelers this year!

When i was 16 we went to WDW during Easter. The father from growing pains, Alan Thicke, was there to host the Easter Parade. We were with a group of 16 and were seated at a big table in the middle of the Hoop De Do show right next to his table. After the show was over, several people went up to his table to ask for his autograph. Alan's father was also there and was joking about no one wanting HIS authograph. So a family friend and I asked him for his autograph instead of Alan's!
Then a year or so later, Lou Ferigno was at the Monster Sounds show at MGM. When the show was over, he was walking a bit ahead of us with his own family. To this day my family jokes how we never saw my dad walk so fast!!!
We also saw Neil Patrick Harris, Doogie Howser, on the monorail when i was 16 or 17.
They aren't huge stars nowadays, however at the time, it was really cool to see them!!!

We just got back Saturday and it we heard did not see that Brad Pitt and Angelina were there.

I looked but didn't see them. (We were at the All Star Movies and I am sure they were not staying there! )

I think Mecha Figment is "friends" with certain characters, if I am correct. Even so, CMs have to leave celebrities alone. You can be fired for asking for pictures/autographs.

Do WebmasterPete and CathyCanada count?

At a parade our chants of "Umass! Umass!" got a rave reply from Julius Erving, so that was nice. Guess that's the closest I've come.

HI Hi PuffyAmiYumi is a cartoon on Cartoon Network about two Asian Rock-Star Chicks.
My daughter loves that show and during our last trip I kept pointing out Hi Hi PuffyAmiYumi to her (there were many Asian girls walking around in groups of 2 and the ones that looked punk, I would say "Look honey, it's Ami & Yumi", quietly, of course! She loved it and really believed it was them, she was 5 ) In the beginning of the show it shows the real Asian Rock Stars that the cartoon is based on, so she knew they are real people, not just a cartoon.

 

[Joanna71985]

Don't know about that. But I'm pretty sure that Mecha Figment is a CM. So that still applies.

when i was a kid, we met the original guy on the monrail from 'shaft'

my dad debated for a few minutes about approaching him, and he decided to...he said 'i won't bother you while you are on vacation with your family, i just wanted to tell you that i always enjoyed watching you and your character" (something like that) and he smiled and said thanks very much, and then we parted ways. dad still things back to how cool that was.

A few years ago, DD and I saw Mel Gibson near the UK pavilion in Epcot.

We had a celebrity sighting last Saturday 2/4/06 at Disneyland. We're walking past POTC, and DH says, "There's Kirstie Alley!" Then I look over and say, "Hey, that IS Kirstie Alley!" Then my DH had to make a comment: "Looks like she's still stuffing her face!" Because she was eating a churro. Mean! To her defense, she is actually pretty slim now, even thinner than she was when she did the recent Jenny Craig commercials. So it was kind of fun to finally see a celebrity at Disneyland.

 

[RedRover]

We saw the actress who played "Blair" on the Facts of Life and her family once.

 

[TMJR]

We met Regis...my grandmother was like a groupie! It was embarrasing!
