Celebrity Sighting(s) @ DIS

[Davey48]

We we waiting for our connecting flight @ Ronald Reagan Airport for one of our Disney trips when an entourage of people came out of the jetway and into our terminal. They were all dressed in suits and appeared to be security for someone important. Shortly, thereafter, President Clinton walked out of the Jetway waving and shaking hands with the crowd. I just about lost my lunch!! The man is nauseating!! I am not a big Clinton fan so my reaction was "so what" and then went back to reading my newspaper.

It was Joey Fatone (Wiki).

He must go to WDW alot, because I saw him a few times in the past - most recently in Jan during the marathon near the walkway in front of the Beach Club

We saw Kobe Bryant and his family on our September 2006 trip, they were with a VIP guide. We were sitting for a moment, just people watching and he walked by on his way to either Splash Mountain or BTMRR, I'm guessing. I asked my DH if that was Kobe Bryant and he wasn't sure at first, becuase he was a lot shorter than we thought he would be. I didn't think about it until they had passed to snap a picture, but I got a somewhat blurry picture of the back of his head. A few moments later we heard some guy on his cell phone pass us saying "Dude, we just saw Kobe Bryant and he is much shorter than I thought he would be!"

In 2007 my sister and I were waiting for our husbands to come off of California Screamin' in California Adventure in Disneyland, and we noticed a girl who looked exactly like Christina Aquilera standing with some guy. We pointed her out and said - Hey! It's Christina Aquilera!! - and went about our business. We didnt think much about it, because we didnt even think it was really her until we got a gossip magazine a few weeks later and saw pictures of her at Disneyland on the day we thought we saw her!

Okay - I have to throw this one out there as well, because after reading all the posts - some werent at Disney! While I was at the Charlotte airport when I was a lot younger - I think maybe I was 14 or so - back in the early 90's - Denzel Washington walked into me and knocked me down! He was trying to be all incognito, and was walking with his head down and didnt see me. He helped me up and was apologizing over and over again. I didnt know who he was, but my friend did and almost had a heart attack. He was very kind and told her to come over to where he was sitting and he would give her an autograpgh. Talk about close contact with a celeb!

Ive never seen any celebs, I guess Im always to busy dis'ing to notice!

Oh does Mickey Mouse count?

I was working out at the BWV and my wife noticed someone that looked like Jim Caviezel. She was smart enough to go check out the sign in sheet for that day and yes it was him. He was there to do the Candlelight Processional.

We do play a fun game when we're at Disney. We find people that look like someone and say "hey...there goes...."

 

[Momtoredheads]

I've only recognized a handful of names of the celebs everyone's talking about!

I don't even know this Joey Fatone guy!

Oh well. I let you know if I see any famous geesers this coming August!

Me too!!

Last year we saw Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan. They sat 2 tables away from us at Wolfgang Pucks Cafe. It was awesome!!! They were with their family so we didn't want to bother them. I was also glad to see that they weren't interrupted during their whole mean by anyone. We even have the pixs thanks to our wonderful CM. She took a picture of our family enjoying our dinner and MJF and wife are in the background! Unfortunately, I''m not techy enough to figure out how to share them with you!

As a side note to our CM -- if you're reading this ... I'm so sorry about not emailing you the pix of MJF. I lost the scrap of paper that your email address was on!

All these celebrity sightings, 36 w/ pics to prove and only one person came through with the pic?

I haven't seen any celebs at Disney, maybe I'm playing too hard to notice.

in Sept 2006 we were waiting to get into the Biergarten when I look over and see Murray from the Wiggles sitting at a nearby table (outside--for the counter service I assume). I was trying not to stare and my 2 year old was sleeping, but it was him. (They were doing shows at MGM that week).

So, we went to a Wiggles show at MGM later that week and there was this woman whom I just couldn't place who she was, but I knew she must be "famous". As we were exiting the show I overheard some people talking about how they had just seen Kathy Ireland.

I saw Rogert Bart having a drink at Victoria Falls inside AKL by his lonesome self!

Most people would recognize him as George the pharmacist on Desperate Housewives. He was also in The Producers and Stepford Wives.

 

[HeyIt'sMe]

I saw Joe Piscopo (Saturday Night Live 1980-1985) at the CRT Breakfast a few years ago. I think I have a picture somewhere - a hardcopy since I didn't have a digital camera back then.

my story is from disneyland. we were there for halloween and enjoying the pool on our last night (the pool was dead except for my kids) they were so happy when 2 other kids jumped in. mick foley had just checked in for a vacation and his kids wanted to swim. we sat there for about 20 mins just chatting. i mentioned i was from scranton, and he said i've been there a few times. i wanted to say, yeah, i saw you wrestle there, but i never said the word wresting. we were just 2 parents watching our kids swim. someone else noticed him and he was surrounded. i felt bad for him because he could barely see his kids. too bad they can't just have a relaxing vacation

I have tons of celeb pics, they just aren't from WDW.

I would imagine someone from TV, sports, or music is always there at any given time. They just go unnoticed. I've never really paid attention to who else might be there. You can't go into the Hard Rock Park w/o running into somebody from a band. It's funny too, most of the time it's those dinosaur rockers and they look at you weird because you don't know WHO they are.

There were at least 3 of us with pics. The ones I remember off hand are:

Nick Lache and whats-her-toes from the back walking into the hotel
John Ratzenberger in the background at a restaraunt
Ming Na with part of my family in front of the rest rooms

I saw him there, too, but about freaked when he walked in the door at my resort the night before. I saw him and his family (Chelsea Noble - his wife was on Growing Pains with him) several times, and finally got up the nerve to talk to him when he was alone and I felt like I wouldn't be bothering him. I talked to Chelsea first and they were SO nice. I just love what he is doing now in ministry and wanted to let him know. It was a huge highlight for me and my family got sick of hearing about it I'm sure, lol. I wouldn't take a pic because I didn't want to bug them or intrude on their vacation, but I wish I had one.

Wow lucky you! I so miss NSync!!!! They really need to get back together one more time, don't ya think??

Not at DW, but I stood right next to Lance Bass on line for a roller coaster at Hershey Park back in 2000 or 2001. I was exiting the ride and he was entering via the exit (with his Hersheypark escorts and bodyguards). People going both directions stopped, so we were right next to eachother. My husband goes, "Isn't that one of those N'Sync guys?". I could tell Lance was trying not to be noticed (he was wearing a hat and sunglasses and sort of looking down the whole time)...so I didn't say anything. Probably if he had just walked around without his whole entourage, no one even would have known it was him.

Back in the early 90's we were doing an OKW tour with the DVC person in a golf cart, we came around the driveway where you can see the golf green and the DVC person said...theres that new golfer everyone is talking about,Tiger Woods. He was putting with a few other golfers, I guess it was a practice round for the tournament...at that time he didnt have any special entourage or even people really following him.........my how things have changed !!
