Famous People You have met While at WDW

I haven't met any celebrities at Disney, but I had a weird encounter with Charlie Sheen's bluejeans. . . .

I suppose I should explain. Back when we were dating and before Charlie Sheen cultivated his reputation as a connoisseur of prostitutes, my wife had a crush on him. (There's a running joke between us called "celebrity exemption", which involves a free-pass for otherwise illicit activities with this one person, should the circumstances ever arise. Her designee at that time was ol' Charlie. :love2: )

Anyway, there's a store just inside the entrance to the MGM park that sells hollywood collectables. They had a rack of clothing worn by actors during their film roles. Well, suddenly my beautiful and usually unflappable future wife starts doing something that looks like convulsions there in the store, and maniacally stroking this pair of ratty old bluejeans. Apparently, they were worn by Charlie Sheen in one of his earlier film roles (Ferris Bueller, I think), and were on sale. I don't remember what they were asking for them, but whatever it was, we couldn't afford it at the time, even if I thought it wasn't complete insanity for a woman to want to own a pair of pants to fondle. :scared1:

This led to a 15 minute discussion a/k/a debate in which she actually tried to convince me that breaking the bank on this pair of jeans was a sound "investment". Meanwhile, she was drooling all over them, which was ruining the "investment" opportunity anyway. Looking back, it was hilarious, but at the time, it was a bit strange, to say the least. I mean, after all, the bikini I was inspecting that had been on Michelle Pfeiffer in the poolside scene from Scarface was a much more sensible investment, even at twice the price.
 
Bob Igor is supposed to be at DTD for the grand opening of BBB this week.

I agree! LOL too funny!
 
We saw Caroline Rhea on Star Tours at DL, and another time Jean Smart looking all Unabomberish in a hooded sweatshirt. We saw the guy who plays Newman from "Seinfeld" at the Adventurers' Club right after Jurassic Park came out. He had a Jurassic Park shirt, but it was the silhouette of Mickey instead of a dinosaur skull. Very cool.
However, the biggest deal was the first time we took our kids to WDW. We were waiting in line for Pirates of the Carribean, and suddenly the line stopped. A group of people huddled together with Secret Service types was rushed in ahead of us, and nobody could get on until they came through. We all were crabbing about it and wondering who it was. When we got back to the hotel that night, we saw on the news that it was Princess Diana and her boys.
 
:rolleyes: My goodness, I am going in 9 days, my 4th annual trip to DW, and I can say that I have yet to see a celebrity. I guess I need to wipe the pixie dust from my eyes and start to pay a little more attention while walking around. I probably walk around most of the time with my eyes squinted anyway. The beautiful Florida sun is always a shock to my eyes....we don't get much sun here in Pittsburgh.
 
I've met quite a few famous people at WDW. The most famous was Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman. They were getting a private tour and I knew the CM that was giving the tour. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time to meet them. ;)

I met Connie Seleca and John Tesh when they were putting their hands in the cement in front of the Chinese theater at MGM.

I've also met Kevin Mchale and David Robinson, both NBA stars. And I met LL Cool J and Biz Markie at Pleasure Island. One year I stayed at the Dolphin and while I was waiting for a cab out front, I ran into Mike Ditka, who was there waiting for a ride as well.

Although I didn't actually met him, I saw Drew Carey at ESPN. He was there for the 98 NBA finals, and when the Bulls won, he bought every one in the bar a round of drinks.
 
I've met all of the Presidents of the United States....hehehehe

ME TOO!!!!!! and Mickey Mouse! We must have been there on the same day!! ;)

But really the only famous person I ever met there was , well.... ME! ;)
 
I've been lucky. Going to the World since I was 6. Let's see, Michelle Lee...used to be on Knots Landing and Ricky Schroeder...when he was in Silver Spoons. My sister and I actually went swimming with him. Nice as a kid. Andrea McCardle right as she became Annie. As an adult we got to meet Bob Costas and his at the time wife and two kids...super nice family. Talked with them on the monorail and wished them their anonimity. Throughout the evening we would see them at MVMCP. By the time we were heading back to the GF we didn't want to take the monorail so did the ferry. Mr. Costas was sitting on a bench and started speaking to my husband. They had a great chat that lasted 45 minutes. We have also said hello to Deidre Hall, Meredith Viera, and Brian Dennehy at different times. Years ago, my dad went running with some of the guys from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We have also had the opportunity to meet Aaron Carter...big thrill for my then 10 year old DD. Also have met Mandy Moore and Lindsey Lohan. We don't often claim the Lindsey Lohan thing too much...DD still influenced by her. Like I said, this is a snippet of the opportunities we have had.

WDW is full of stars..maybe even one walking with one and you won't know it till they grow up!

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!!! :rotfl: I only noticed when I was lookng back at pictures and took a double take and was just like :earseek: hahhaha that was a shocker

P.S. its my 200th post!!! :cheer2:


I am OBSESSED with the backstreet boys (yes even still) ..is there any way for you to post this picture? I have to see it!
 
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.[/QUOTE]


I would have peed in a circle!
 
OK, so not DW but DL.....but I am surprised how you all can 'meet' these celebs because when we saw Tom Hanks, you could not get near him. He had a security entourage that got him in and out of rides, etc.

Incidentally, we also 'ran into' him accidentally the next night because they were hosting a tribute to him at the Kodak Theater in LA. We were not stalking-I swear!
 
I think most of the time the celebs to have an entourage around them, it depends on the celeb. Sometmes they just walk around like regular people. They will usually have a CM with them to get them in and out of attractions.

I track this thread all the time, im always curious as to which celebs like Disney or visit the parks. Im still waiting for someone to sight one of the cast members of Will & Grace! (my fav show in the world :goodvibes ) They worked for NBC, I have a feeling most of the ABC people go to WDW morefoften than others, hhhmm wonder why? :rolleyes2
