Cool Celebrity sighting!!

We found ornaments at the end of main street as well on the right side. We also picked up so of those awesome half hat ornaments in Pooh's Corner inside by the candy area.

Yep. That is definitely Jennifer Garner. There is no mistaking her for anyone else, or vice versa. I wonder if they dined at Club 33 (probably Napa Rose too).

I wouldn't mind seeing Christian Bale in the parks either. I'm not even lucky enough to see John Stamos in the parks -- and we all know for a fact that he is there throughout the year!

I would like to see Bradley Cooper -- who has no children and apparently no reason to go to Disneyland -- in the parks. Just puttin' it out there into the universe... Bradley, if you happen to be out there, following the DIS, please go to DLR in 7 or 8 days!

Thanks! And damn her, she is just as pretty on vacation as she is in movies!

Haha, so we were in Hollywood yesterday and all day I kept gasping and pointing to mess with my daughter, to make her think I saw a celebrity. So today, standing there waiting for our car, this guy comes over and I immediately say "That's Ben Affleck" and my daughter immediately rolls her eyes and says "No, it's NOT." Then Bed started speaking and my husband whips around and says "Mom's right...that's totally him." and I tell her again that yes, that definitely IS Ben and that's Jennifer right there. She still didn't believe me until Jennifer finally turned around and then her eyes got huge and she whispered "Oh my god that totally is them. Oh my god, Ben Affleck is really good looking."

Lol. Yes, Jennifer is beautiful and tiny. TINY. It was nice to see them doing real family stuff together.

I will send up a message to the universe for you, Sherry. Hear that universe? Disneyland needs more B Coop.

We saw Hugh Jackman at DCA a couple years ago and saw Matt Damon at DL a couple weeks ago... However, I would trade both sightings for seeing Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck!!

Alright ladies, if we're throwing it out there, I'd like to see David Beckham (sans Posh), Bono from U2, and well really any of U2.

Ok, I'm posting here because I've talked about my trip and you all can relate. PLEASE PRAY! We are supposed to leave in less than 2 weeks and are having car trouble. If it's a big repair, I honestly don't know what we'll do. The worst part is I bought our tickets from Oribitz, so we're kind of stuck.
So please pray it is a minor repair and something hubby can fix himself!!

I am praying for you. I'm thinking good thoughts and hoping for the best. I think a lot of us know how those sudden, unexpected hurdles can pop up right before a trip, and it can leave you very stressed and anxiety-filled. Let's hope that this car issue is a tiny one that can at least wait until after the trip.

Me too!

 

[momtothreeinfinity]

mrsw94 - I hope everything comes together for you. Best luck getting the car fixed. Invoking the Genie to grant your wish

mrsw94 - adding my prayers that its a cheap fix!!! Pixie dust coming your way!!

I'm not even lucky enough to see John Stamos in the parks -- and we all know for a fact that he is there throughout the year!

So I had to jump in! First, long time no post for me! Hello, fellow Holiday groupies!!! Especially Sherry
I have been swamped with life in general. Fortunately we did get down for a Halloween Party and to renew our annual passes! We are making a last minute run down to see the park with all the holiday finery and maybe a chocolate/peppermint item or two.
Now, I have to let you know that we sat and were amused by John Stamos for quite a long time in the lounge in the Grand CA. The girl that came in with him, left and then came back a bit later so proud that she had made a bear for him at Build-a-Bear! His face was classic! He is how old? This woman was mid 20's?? Anyway, it was amusing also to see a group of 3 women sitting at the bar area, in about their 40's pointing and staring and finally one jumped at him and asked if it was really him. I think he was trying to sneak out to go to the bathroom but she kind of blocked his way. Poor Guy. We probably had an extra drink just so we could watch his parade of people (small parade but a lot of CM seemed to be very friendly with him, too). Had to share with you Sherry to make sure you sit in the lounge a bit if you really want to try and catch a glimpse!
Anyway, kind of worried about the crowds with the Processional but I am sure we can handle it. I am headed back through to try and read as much as possible before we leave Friday. Let me know if you need me to take pictures of anything. Well as long as it doesn't involve me to fight too many crowds , not my thing. I am sure we will be checking out the new drinks at Trader Sam's, though!

Off I go to read, read, read!

Later,
Sue

Hi, Sue! Another Halloween thread person makes it over to this thread!

How long ago did you see John Stamos and his bear-building girlfriend? He is 50 years old now. That whole scenario sounds hilarious. I wonder where that bear is now. To be honest, I'd never been a fan of John Stamos until I learned that he is such a Disneyland fanatic! That's what makes me like him -- his love for Disneyland! Otherwise, I never cared about him when he was on General Hospital, or Full House, or ER or anything. Once I started hearing how much he loved DLR, my whole opinion of him changed because I was not expecting that from an actor. For some reason I just don't think of actors -- "heartthrobs," no less -- being Disneyland-obsessed.

What's even more interesting is that John Stamos is famous for taking all of his dates and girlfriends to Disneyland. Whether it's one date or a long-term relationship, he ends up taking them to DLR at some point. Lori Loughlin (who starred with him on Full House) said he took her there on a date. John himself recently admitted taking Renee Zellweger (who is also the aforementioned Bradley Cooper's ex-girlfriend) on a sort of date to Disneyland within the last couple of years. Other girls he has dated have spoken of their days at DL with John! I wonder if he uses that as a test of how compatible they will be -- if the girl is fun and enjoys the same things at DLR, then maybe she passes the test and gets to see him again!

In any case, I would love to sit back and watch the parade of people coming to greet John Stamos at the GCH as he holds court. I think it would be hilarious. But in all of my years going to DLR I have never seen him there! Not once!

Too funny. And I agree!

Sadly I have returned!

We had a Wonderful time! Only rained 1 half day, we bought poncho's and kept going...

Really love Buena Vista street this year, my first time to see it decorated.
Loved JJJ, it was SO Fun decorating the the cookies, and seeing the gang. They took their time and hung out with us, even though we are adults!

RSR was down 2 whole days, only got to ride it twice. Love it though!

JC Holiday, was a disappointment. We waited over an hour for this, the Que was a maze upstairs, was just crazy!

Enjoyed the Christmas Parade, had good seat on a bench to the right of the tree...

Awesome Thanksgiving day lunch at Storytellers, cannot say enough good things about this meal and experience, unless of course John Stamos joined us...... heard he was at the hotel!

Very festive atmosphere, and the crowds we're manageable!

Enjoyed the Starbucks at both park, they we're very busy, but lined moved fast.
I will post some pics in the coming days!

I just booked priority seating at the BB on December 14th! Yay. It will be an early dinner! All the times they had left were 4:30 or 8:10. 8:10 is too late for the kiddos. So early dinner it is! We asked the boys if they wanted to eat inside the Pirates of the Caribbean. DS4 asked if Pirates would be shooting at us. LOL. Once we promised it would be safe, he agreed. Our boys have never been there before so that will be a nice treat! I'm super excited!
