I have several pics of Jim Henson when he was at MGM filming Muppets in Disneyworld. That was a long time ago, actually the year they opened MGM!!
My boys got a kick out of watching how they make the movie, then watching the movie later and seeing how it all came together!!

I got a picture of Mark Summers-Former host of Double Dare on Nick and current host of Unwrapped on the food network. I saw them filming the unwrapped show about wdw. i have it in my tivo and put it on dvd. Its an hour long show on the food at wdw. Have not seen it on in a long time.

everytime i see it i say, hey, we were there!!

Lol..I was watching a home video we made of a trip to Universal Studios bak in the early 90's I had been chosen to participate in a game at the Nickelodeon studios (the tour part they take you on) anyways guess who was the host of the "show" ...Wayne Brady! yep I got to meet him before he was famouse (even though i was more concerned with squeezing myself through a rubber band for the contest!

yeah, Wayne Brady is a local, he went to my high school (Dr. Phillips, directly behind Universal)

Gosh I must have snapped 100 pics of celebrities at the 05-05-05 celebration last year. We were at the press events at Epcot and MGM... celebrities were everywhere. It finally got to the point where I just stopped taking pictures because there were so many. LOL And dh was getting annoyed with me being the psycho stalker with the camera. I posted a bunch of them in my trip report here on the DIS when we got back but I'm sure all the links are dead now. My AOL doesn't hold a ton of pics. There were tons of celebrities in the parks that whole week... lets see if I can remember a few... Gloria Estephan, Ashanti, Patrick Warburton, Diana Degarmo, the cast of Exteme Makeover Home Edition, N'Sync guys, Jennifer Holiday, Wayne Brady, Matchbox 20, Alan Cummings, Smash Mouth, Barenaked Ladies, uhhhh... I can't think... but you get my drift, there were a ton of them.

Also, on a totally separate trip we saw Steven Tyler from Aerosmith having lunch at 50's Prime Time. I took a picture but it wasn't a very good one. Oh, and another trip we saw The Wiggles... that was cool.

I have video of Phylicia Rashad speaking at the Candlelight at Epcot, and she was seated next to us at Coral Reef the next night. She asked me how the lobster bisque was and we talked food for a couple of minutes . . . she was very sweet. I didn't take a pic though - I know I wouldn't want my pic taken with my mouth full!

We are just back from Disney and my DH saw Ty Pennington from Extreme Home Makeover at MGM. We have him on video but not a picture of him. I didn't get to see him as me and my DD were riding RNR. Ty had his megaphone so I am assuming they were filming something for his show. I did see a Braves pitcher with his family, but I am not so much of a sports fan so I don't know his name.

In May, we saw Dominic Monaghan, the actor who plays one of the Hobbits in Lord of the Rings (he's also on Lost now). He was touring Epcot with a group of people surrounding him and cast members as guides. No one seemed to approach him at all and he looked like he was just taking in the sites like any other tourist. (other than the stunningly beautiful girlfriend and the entourage lol). I was really thrilled as LOTR is one of my favorite movies. Very cool.

Isn't he seeing Evangeline Lilly (Kate on LOST)? So you saw 2 celebs!

This movie was the last muppet project worked on before Jim Henson's death. It was filmed at DW where the muppets run amuck in the parks. It was a great old movie. I have it on a worn out old VHS. My boys loved watching it and it is hardly useable anymore!! It was a made for TV movie. It was released in 1990. I am not sure if it is available on VHS to buy or DVD??? I taped the show when it was orginally on. The name of the movie is The Muppets at Walt Disneyworld. The muppets sneak into DW and ride all the rides while Charles Grodin the security guard tries to catch them!!It would be nice to bring it back out as kids would love seeing there favorite muppets riding the tea cups, Star tours, big thunder mountain railroad!!

I haven't, but my brother-in-law used to work at AK and one day he was the narrator on the train to Planetwatch. The guy that sat next too him kept asking him a bunch of questions and when they got off three people went up to him and asked him what Pat Sajack (Wheel of Fortune) had to say to him. My BIL had no idea who Pat Sajack was!!!!!

 

[snowbunny]
