Celebrity Sightings At WDW Resorts?

[grinningghost]

I've heard loads of celeb sighting stories - mostly in the parks. Anyone have any sightings in the hotels?

My one and only celeb sighting was in a park as well - Tony Stewart at DL.

Our trip back in Oct., we saw Juice Newton(80s country and pop crossover star). We saw her at Eat to the Beat show then a couple nights later at WL. She was with a couple of her band members. DD got her autograph. She had some big hits with Queen of Hearts, The Sweetest Thing and several others. She also has a sister with some fame, Lorrianne Newman from Saturday Night Live, back in the John Belushi, Bill Murray days.

Well we had one sighting at AKL we saw the guy who played Pauly on the Soprano's with what appeared to be his grandkids very early in the morning having breakfast. The only other celebs we have seen are when they opened Planet Hollywood and they all came for the opening.

We ran into Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" movie) coming out of Flying Fish one day. We stopped and chatted with her for a few minutes and she could not have been nicer.

Years ago we spotted Drew Carey at the Hollywood Studios (still can't get used to calling it that...). He was most likely there to promote the attraction there that featured him... I'm not actually sure if the show is still there. At the time, my sis was a huge fan of his so it was cool she got to see him. We didn't get an autograph or anything because there was a rather long line.

My son and his girlfriend was there last Nov. and ran into Samantha Brown the Great lady on the travel channel.

I don't believe Juice NEWTON and Lorraine NEWMAN are sisters. Newton was a navy brat raised in Virginia Beach and Mewman was raised in Beverly Hills, CA. If you have proof otherwise, please share.

The very best, we were at the GF having our photo shoot and we went down the elevator. A nice woman said how cute our matching shirts and my dress were. She was with a very tall and handsome man. Later in the evening we saw them again at Epcot F&W. I asked if they were getting time to enjoy the great food and drink. She said they were performers. I left it at that.

The next day we went to see Choo Choo soul at MGM and who was on the stage???? Yep you guessed it, the same nice lady and handsome man from the show!!!!

She was so nice and polite. He was just quiet but so handsome. Very down to earth and wonderful to meet.

I literally ran into Joey Fatone at the BC about a month or so ago. I wasn't watching where I was going and smacked right into him. I apologized and then realized who I bumped into and kinda looked like this I just excused myself and got out of there as fast as I could. I felt like such an idiot
