We didn't meet anybody famous but my husband actually went back and forth with two people telling them that he was NOT somebody famous. It was so funny. The first person was at the desk at the Contemporary and the second person was when he had to pick up a FedEx package in a room at the Contemporary on our last visit. Both people said they thought he was somebody and he kept saying, "I'm not, I promise, I'm just..." I told him he should've just gone along with it but he wouldn't!! Then, in the Magic Kingdom, same trip, a cast member called him Kurt (sp?) Russell and made a big to-do where people stopped and started looking for a moment. He looks nothing like Kurt Russell to me. He looks more like Nick Nolte and has been told that before, too. It was funny, though. Three times on one trip. How weird.

A friend of mine and I were at PI about 6 years ago, when low and behold, who should walk into the 80's club but....HULK HOGAN! I really wasn't sure it was him, but when I saw his "birthmark" on his face, I knew it...what threw me is....HOW SHORT he is IRL! He was with his DD Brooke and she was working on her first (and Last record)...I think this was before thier TV show.... He was dancing RIGHT NEXT TO ME for about 15 min, and than went upstairs and OUT! People tried to get autographs and cell phone pics but he said: "I am just here with my Daughter enjoying ourselves, thanks!"

When DD was little we met Tara Lipinski (the ice skater) on ToT. We were coming down the back way doing the baby swap to wait for DH and we ran smack into and her "handlers". She was really nice and spoke to DD (who hadn't a clue who she was). Then a few years ago DD and I were at Blizzard Beach really early and watched Corbin Bleu making a commercial for the Disney Channel. There were only a few guests there watching (it was chilly that day) and he was really friendly with everyone. DD turned all shy - it was cute!

I don't remember what year it was, maybe 1999 or 2000. We were at Cape May Cafe for a character breakfast and Eric Estrada was there. Very friendly and accomodating, my kids had their picture taken with him. My younger son who was 5 or 6 wanted nothing to do with the whole thing and Mr. Estrada came over to the table and talked to my son about having the same first name! Very nice man. Was there with his family and still took time for pics and stuff. Also 2 years ago we saw The Rock at Universal. Completley different, couldn't get close. Security galore, being taken on attractions through the back, stuff like that.

During Christmas week of 2006, my mom said she sat near George Stephanopoulis (of Good Morning America and a member of the Clinton administration) on Cinderella's Carrousel.

In October 2008, we saw Matt Lauer at Boma getting breakfast with his family. I didn't believe my cousin that it was him, but we learned later he was there vacationing with his family.

I guess we just manage to see morning news journalists at Disney.

a few years back my mom and I got in line for splash mountain and Brad Garrett got in line behind us, we talked about random stuff the whole way through the line, and we ended up in the same log, and YES I bought the picture also, not quite disney related but this was also the same trip I saw Bill Clinton at the McD's in the Pittsburgh airport and Don King was sitting directly behind me on the plane

We just got back from Disney for the Star Wars Convention and went to the Last Tour to Endor Party. We saw Jon Stewart with his kids getting his picture with Minnie Leia and Donald Stormtrooper. I was less than five feet away from him; however, my camera was being slow and I only got a picture of his back:

Then we went to the Indiana Jones/Jedi show (first one) and the stars were sitting right next to us - Jeremy Bulloch (boba fett) and warwick davis (ewok). Here is a picture during the show:

Joey Fatone at AKL in 2004. His daughter was running around the lobby while we were checking in. She ran right into my leg. When I looked down she just stood there smiling. I smiled back and looked around for a parent. Joey was a few feet away smiling and waving at me. Then he called for her to come over by him.

For some reason I found it amusing that they were carrying refillable mugs

Everyone wants to save money! And DH and I were happy he was sweating just as much as we were!

We saw both Isaiah Thomas (basketball? from Detroit, I think)

My favorite basketball player growing up...Detroit Bad Boys back when NBA basketball was good...In HS I was on 2 State Championship teams my nickname was Zeke, Isiah's Nickname...Was a huge Indiana Hoosiers fan too cause of him and The General Bobby Knight...I am not sure what I would have done if i saw him...

When I was a kid in the early 80's I got to meet President Nixon after the Hall of Presidents show...
They had a whole row reserved infront of us, we were all wondering why? when just before the show started all the secret service came in with Dick in the middle...

That was the last time I was at WDW.. Now I get to take my 7 yr old in less than 60 days!!!

Having worked in the movie business I've had the pleasure of knowing alot of celebrities. When I 1st moved here 3 yrs ago from NY and started riding EE I didnt really know the CM's or they me. Anyway one day I'm at AK and the buzz was that Harrison Ford was there. So I'm in line at EE and next thing you know the CM's are hustling him to the attraction. So I'm in line and as he walks past I yell out "HARRY!!!!!". He stops,see who it is,turns to the CM points, next thing you know the CM comes up to me and say "Mr Ford would like to see you". All the people around me are like,,,(stunned). Long story short,we ride (in the front row) caught up on whats been going on in our lives,shake hands and he went on his way.
