anyone else see Michael Jackson at Epcot on May 19

[hipporina]

I had completely forgotten about this until I saw a story about him on my yahoo page, but we saw Michael Jackson at Epcot last week. Just as we were unloading from our bus, he was getting out of a limo and heading into the park. At first I didn't think it was really him, but then he was soon swarmed by CM's and fans. We were like 5 feet from him! He was going into the park the same time we were. It was so strange. The really funny thing was seeing how other people reacted. He had gone to the restroom and there was a whole crowd of people waiting for him to come out. Did any of you happen to bump into him there too? I'm still surprised about it!

You saw Michael Jackson and lived to tell the tale???????????????

 

[beattyfamily]

Wow, that's exciting! I just saw a story last night about how he's on the verge of bankruptcy...at least he can still afford the most magical place on earth!

 

[MimiKay]

We were there and I missed all the excitement--- that's really wild... not that I'm a big fan or anything, but still would have been neat to see a famous person...and see how everybody's reaction.

 

[DancingBear]

Well, I used to see him at Epcot all the time.

Of course, he was playing Captain EO at the time.

We were in WDW on the 19th, but I we didn't see him, we heard about it though.

hipporina, we saw him at Epcot too! Right after Illuminations ended, we headed back towards the main entrance from the bridge in France, and we walked right by him!

Another guest said they saw him a couple days earlier on Main Street at MK. Guess he thinks May is a good time to go too!

[elemusing]

He probably got in for free anyway - (bankruptcy). . Isn't it ironic that celebrities get all the expensive stuff for free and they are the ones that can afford it????

 

[beattyfamily]

I just saw on Entertainment Tonight that some lucky vacationer caught MJ on tape!!! I believe it's at WDW. THey will show it after the commercials!

 

[Queenofthecastle]

Wow, let us know what they show! I'm on the West Coast...still got 3 more hours.

Q

 

[beattyfamily]

Now they are saying after the 'next' commercial!!

They showed a small clip. He's wearing red shirt, glasses and an umbrella. At one point he was signing autographs and I saw his DD with a scarf on her head and sunglasses but no mask!

I'll let you know what else I see!

 

[Queenofthecastle]

Hm that's exactly what he was wearing at Epcot...

Q

 

[beattyfamily]

Finally they showed the clip!

It showed what I already saw then it showed him make a restroom stop and after that, please started noticing him.

He was gracious and did photos and autographs and one woman got a hug. Mary Hart commented on how you could see the kids faces (just like I did!)

They said it was at Epcot. THey said they seemed to be having a great time!

He really didn't have very many people around him.

His son had a tie on but was in shorts. His DD had a white dress on.

Sorry, that's all I can think of!

 

[Queenofthecastle]

Wow that is so cool! I'm gonna have to Tivo that one!

Thanks!

My dd saw him at Universal on Sunday the 18th. I thought she was kidding until she produced a picture.

 

[Terry S]

I saw him on Monday at Magic Kingdom walking down mainstreet. He must have gone there before Epcot, this was earlier in the day.

 

[Joyfulsnuff]

I heard on the news the other day that Michael Jackson is now broke (or so he says) I wonder how he afforded his WDW vacation! HA-HA! Maybe he saved money with the Fairytale package.

 

[cdpa4d]

I saw him last week as well. He was in Indianpolis. I saw him at our downtown. I was the same way. I couldn't believe it was him either until I got right near him. When I saw him it was just me and about 4 other people (along with his body guards, of course)....

Anyone know where he stayed? My guess is All-Star Music.

 

[Miss Mickey Mania]

No, he'd have stayed at the PolyNOSEian wouldn't he?

You know - poly meaning many, and nose meaning...well, nose
