Celebrity Sightings At WDW Resorts?

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Forgot to add I also saw Samanth Brown in November filming another Christmas show and DH said we also saw a football player Emmitt Smith back in 93 or 94 but there was alot of security around him in MK; I remember the huge crowd around him.

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..

wow.....i thought we were the only one who remembered/heard of juice newton & with good reason.
The Sweetest Thing is our wedding song (it'll be 25 years this may)

I took a picture back in November 2002 with ex-baseball player Andres Gallaraga.

I was at ESPN the Weekend last year and i was on Stump the Schwab in the Drew Caray soundstage set. I met Howie Schwab. His show is on ESPN classic every night.

I was partners with Devin Hester of the Bears. I also met, Thurman Thomas - HOF Bills; Desmond Howard ESPN Gameday and Heisman Trophy winner.

I met Mike and Mike (Greenberg and Golic) in the morning on ESPN Radio at ESPN Club on the Boardwalk. I also met Drew Brees. Saints QB.

If you are into sports, the place to be is ESPN the Weekend. You will see everyone.

OT, but my sister is a HUGE Rob Thomas fan, and she won tickets to his concert in 2 weeks in Houston. Imagine her surprise when she got the tix- front row- AND with a private meet and greet after the show. That's all she's been talking about!!!

We've seen quite a few celebs- all at the GF:

-March 2006- Jerry Springer's bodyguard (the bald one???) at 1900 Park Faire

-Feb 2007- Elizabeth hasselbeck & family at GF & then later at MK. They were escorted by Disney employees.

-Feb 2007- the father & son team that build motorbikes- Chopper something or other??? DH recognized them, I still have no idea who it was. We saw them at the GF right after seeing the Hasselbeck family.

During my wedding last June Chris Rock was staying at the BC the same time we were. One of DH's groomsmen shared an elevator with him and he was really friendly.

OT~We are also huge fans Of MB20 and just returned from a road trip to see them in 6th row at Chicago and Detroit! It was a blast!
Your sister is very lucky to win the meet and greet- WOW-- I wouldnt kknow what to do with myself LOL!

In my picture below I am holding MATCHBOXER the official mascot for matchbox twenty...he has been slept on by Rob in the bus..he goes to every concert (with Rt or Mb20 fan club members).


always glad to hear about/meet other Mb20/RT fans

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.

After doing some further investigating, I believe I stand corrected They were born within a month of each other. Ever since the early 80s when Juice was singing I remember hearing these 2 were sisters. Oh well, it wont be the last time I make a fool of myself.

That is what I am hoping for!! We are going for DH's 50th birthday that weekend

A few years ago we rode down the elevator at the Contemporary with John Miller who was at the time on 20/20 and is now assistant director of public affairs for the FBI. In 1998 he interviewed Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.

12/21/07 While my husband and I were dining at the Flying Fish, Gary Sinise and his family were seated at the table next to us!!! He was in town for the Candlelight Processional.

We were sitting on the big round sofa thing under the 'merhorses' in the Boardwalk Inn entranceway a few years ago, in May, and Anthony Daniels walked up with a garment bag - checking out, and we were smiling at him and he said 'hello' with a smile.

Not long after that, Billy Dee Williams walked out with 2 big bodyguards and we were smiling at him too and he said in a very deep sexy, flirty voice that you would expect from him, "Hello Ladies." And we said hello and giggled like we were 15. Doesn't get much better than that on a 'girls' trip.

So the GF and BC seem to be the celebrity hotels then? Is this how Disney markets them to celebrity staff?

 

[MOMtoZachEvanGrace]

Back a few years ago my family saw Michael Jackson in Downtown Disney. His kids and a bodyguard was dressed up like spiderman. They went into a locked Art of Disney and his son kept plaing in front of the door at all of the spectators.

 

[CarKay]

We were at the CR for b-fast at Chef Mickey's in Dec and my DH took DD5 to the restroom. While he was waiting for her, Dennis Franz came in and asked DH if he was waiting in line.

While in WDW for our Thanksgiving Trip 2007 we saw so many celebrities. They were all there for the Christmas Parade taping.

Kelly Ripa @ The California Grill @ Contemporary
Regis Philbin @ The Beach Club
Kyle XY @ The Beach Club
Sabrina & Mark from Dancing with the Stars @ The Beach Club

I also saw Kelly Ripa in Cali grill, she was standing right next to us during the fireworks. She was holding her friends daughther on her shoulders during the entire fireworks, the girl was almost as big as Kelly. She seemed really nice.

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.

How cool! I'm guessing the handsome man was the engineer from the Choo Choo Soul videos. Easy on the eyes, for sure.

On a similar Playhouse Disney note, Dan Zanes and his band were staying at the AKL while they were performing at MGM and we ran into them several times in the lobby and once at Jiko.

DH always spots sports people...wrestlers mostly

 

[travlnman1]

I was in an elevator with Tad Martin from All My Children at BC. Does that count as a celebrity? LOL!!
We had breakfast next to Hulk Hogan and his family years ago at Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Studios.

 

[hannahsmom7]

Many years ago when Planet Hollywood first opened we saw Tom Arnold and Danny Glover there.
