Famous People You have met While at WDW

[BCVOwner2002]

DH and I met Eric Estrada at BC in November 2004. As others have posted he was very. He was talking to a CM who was cleaning the windows at BC when DH said, "Hey you are . . ." and Eric replied, "Tony Orlando!" DH laughed and said, "No! Eric Estrada!" They talked for a few minutes and then we were on our way. We ran into him a few more times during our trip. He always had a crowd around him and was always friendly.

When I was younger I was sitting on my dad's shoulders entering the GF and Danny DiVito walked out with his wife. My mom noticed him and said something, but not until we were on the monorail. Well my dad being the video man who is always taping was taping inside the grand floridian and sure enough there he was!

When I was younger I met Alladdin...sounds normal right?...wrong...the man who was playing Alladdin was Kevin Richardson from The Backstreet Boys!!! I only noticed when I was lookng back at pictures and took a double take and was just like hahhaha that was a shocker

P.S. its my 200th post!!!

aww i love the Backstreet Boys! that's so awesome! lol

Most of these people mentioned I wouldn't even recognize if I saw them. I wonder if I've just been in my own little world the times I've been there and just missed seeing someone famous?

I do think one person that would make me at a loss for words (and if you knew me, you'd know what a big deal that would be LOL) would be if I saw Johnny Depp. I wonder what I'd do... probably wouldn't be able to talk. I wonder if I'd become a stalker and just follow him around the park looking from a distance? LOL

lol oh lord Johnny Depp. i think a lot of us would go crazy if he was there! that's probably why he hasn't been spotted there! lol

If a look alike counts there was a PI bartender who is a dead ringer for James Marsters(Spike from BTVS and Angel)

OH.......MY........God.........where at!? lol. James Marsters is so beautiful!! i'm gonna be on a mission to find this guy! lol

 

[The Dark Dancer]

My mom and I got on Soarin' on our last night of our trip and just guess who was sitting on the hanglider next to us....hmm?...hmmm? anyone?

It was Celiene Dion and her kids! Me and mom were freakin' out! lol!

when I was little I met and got an autograph picture of Johnny Wisemiller( i think that is how you spell his name) the original tarzan -- his movies were in black and white-- for those of you who are saying who in the heck is he.

I also met and got an autograph picture of Clayton Moore -- the original lone ranger--


I also saw one of the backstreet boys in a mercedes next to us at a stop light about 3 years ago when we were in orlando. The funny thing is we were admiring the car first. After a minute or so we realized who the driver was. When he realized we knew who he was he slumped down in the seat. Man five cameras in the car and not a one of them did we use to take a picture. --I think my daughter said he was AJ.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

Believe it or not I would pass up seeing Johnny Depp to see Orlando Bloom....sigh!!!!!!

We saw Jump 5 from a distance at Animal Kingdom. I didn't know who they were buy my child did.

We are usually so wrapped up in our vacation that we have probably missed tons of famous people....LOL!

if i saw either of them in Disney i would have probably pass out! lol

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

Man, you're Lucky! You got Destiny's Child and Jessica Simpson and your Grad Nite, my boyfriend got Britney Spears , and I got 3LW?!?! Who in the heck is that????

oh god i feel bad for anyone who has to sit thru a britney concert. 3LW hahahahaha!!! little 14 year olds singing about school! my boyfriend thought the one was pretty......until i told him "uhh....you know they're like 14 right?" needless to say he was embarressed and i harrass him about it all the time!

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

This May we saw some guy from Lord of the Rings. Well, I didn't - our dear friend did. He said it was the "blonde kid" and I freaked and said "ORLANDO BLOOM!"

"um - no - KID"

Has anyone ever seen Bon Jovi at Disney??

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Tom Bergeron--for a taping of AFV.

We were there the first night for all the recorded video clips, so we were able to actually meet him. The next night was set up differently for the show and it was double the extras.

Never met anybody on a regular day at the parks.

My grandmother actually dated Johnny Wisemiller before she met my grandfather. She passed away when I was young, so I never really got a chance to talk to her about it. I was big into swimming and diving all through high school and college and since Johnny was a big swimmer that is why my mother would always talk about it.

As far as celebrities at WDW, I was at AK, stuck on my cell phone with work handling an emergency while my DW, DF, DM, and DB went on their way. While sitting there on a bench Mary Lou Rettin (sp?), the Olympic Gymnist and Wheaties girl goes strolling by with a CM and her family. While I was talking back to our NY office, I was saying, "run these commands, then enter this and Mary Lou Rettin just walked by, now enter this command and ....."

I saw some sitcom actors when I was younger.

I saw Alan Thicke in 1991 - he was on Main Street- they were shooting some kind of TV special.

Also, when I was 12, back when Cosby Show was very popular, I was in line for the Tomorrowland Speedway and 'Rudy' (don't know her real name) was ushered to the front of the line! I didn't like her much after that.

About 6 or 7 years ago my family was staying at BC and spending the late afternoon in SAB when all of a sudden we see this couple making out up against the rocks in the whirlpool. Everyone was commenting on them until they stopped sucking face and turned around... it was Demi Moore and Bruce Willis! Apparently, they spent a lot of family time together at the BC back when they were still together. The best part was watching how Star-Struck people get!!!!
