We saw Ewan McGregor around 10 am on Friday - the first day of star wars weekends, purchasing LOTS of goodies from the star wars gift shop ( not the tattoine traders.. the special one for SWW ) the cool part about that was that he wasn't one of the "stars" that was there for the weekend, he was just hanging out like the rest of us.

Last Summer I saw Christina Aguilera. I actually wouldnt have even known who it was except guest relation managers and security were all over the ride (I was down there doing a Cp). Apparently David Beckham was there last year too but i never saw him

Well, DH swears this is really Johnny Depp... but I know better. But the guy who plays Jack for the Pirate tutorial is AN incredible double!

We saw Warwick Davis at the P&PP last week on June 4th, just walking around with his family. That guy walks at a very fast pace!! I knew he was there for SWW, but with that night being BEFORE SWW, it was pretty cool!!!

I saw Warwick at the Crystal Palace having dinner with his family on 6/11 also.

About two years ago DH and I had dinner reservations at 1900 Park Fare. We were waiting in the lobby of the GF for our pager to go off, just relaxing on the couches when a bunch of guys walked by and stood about 15 feet away from us, talking and maybe waiting for something. You could tell by their clothes that they weren't the typical Disney guest and my DH recognized them as the band Simple Plan. It made sense since they had played at a grad night there that week. It was tough to get excited about it though because the lead singer looked like he weighed 30 pounds or so and they just looked so young. There were two teenage girls in the area that recognized them and they started whispering and giggling and calling their friends on their cell phones. Eventually they got up the courage to approach the band and had pictures taken. I think we were more amused by the teenagers reaction than anything else though!

This Jack is the best in the Pirate Tutorial! We've seen him and another and I far better prefer this guy! Well, I'd rather have the real thing but this guy will do.

Oh this is the same guy we had on our trip. With all the pictures that I took of him, Everyone thought it was Johnny Depp or that it was a statue. I had to tell then all NO really it wasn't him because if it had been him I would have been in the picture!
I have seen others PIRATE and there is no comparison... HE IS THE HOTTEST !

Over the years we have seen several. Dick Clark (we were dining at Spoodles at the same time). A bunch of athletes and ESPN commentators (my dh & boys know them all, not me!!) Several years ago, my dh spotted Cameron Diaz & Justin Timberlake as we were coming out of Start Tours. They were being escorted into the ride (via the exit); later in the day we were in the shop across from the Art of Animation and they were just outside of the shop (bodyguards in tow). I think that is it????!

We saw a celebrity when we were at WDW at the beginning of June--we just didn't know who it was! This man and his family were lounging around the pool at ASMu. I had noticed that they had British accents as the father was playing with his son. Soon I noticed another guest go up to him and shake his hand then posed for a picture with him and they were pretending like they were boxing in the picture. I then noticed that he had a tatoo on his bicep of boxing gloves. Being the genuis that I am, I decided he must be a British boxer (smart of me, I know!) I pointed him out to DH, but he didn't know who he was either. Evidentally, not many other guests did either because no one was really paying any attention to him. When we returned, I played around on google trying to figure out who he was. I discovered that it was Ricky Hatton--a very good and popular boxer who was having a little R & R after his most recent fight. What was kind of surprising to us was that they were at ASMu. I guess I always thought that celebrities and athletes would choose to stay in the deluxe accomodations!

Just got back from a trip this week!

We saw Shaq walking through Frontierland with his family and a few CM's. They would let people walk by and wave or take pictures of him, but never go up and talk to him or stop him. I'll post the picture once I get all the pictures up onto the computer!

When I did my college program, Barbara Bush bought some things from one of the stores I worked in. She used resort delivery and had it shipped back to what was then, Dixie Landings.

I saw Michael Phelps after the Olympics in '04

 

[WDW08]

In 2002 we saw John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn (Stamos) and some kids...maybe his? No idea?

I dont know if anyone as read my Disney Story from April yet called My Flower Power Disney Trip.

Miley Cyrus was in Magic Kingdom the same day I was. I didn't see her but I found out she was there on the same day I was from pictures on the Internet.

We saw Jerry Lewis in Universal in 1990, and the very next day in EPCOT we had a more exciting experience.

It was the height of New Kids On The Block mania - and my sister and I were huge teenage fans... but we were just having fun in EPCOT when my parents found us and told us they saw Donnie and Mark Wahlberg heading over to the Swan -- so we immediately ditched EPCOT (my older sis was so upset - she couldn't care less about New Kids) for a trip to the Swan. We didn't see the Wahlbergs, but did see Joey McIntyre and Jordan Knight. We had already been to lots of concerts, and stayed at their concert hotels before, so we found some crew members we had previously met and hung out there for the rest of the night. Got lots of pics... where are those pics? Turns out the boys had just come back from a cruise and were spending a few nights at WDW. They weren't very friendly, b/c as one of their friends said "they're on vacation!" and didn't want to be bothered, but I've met them on other occasions and they were nice.

My sis and I are going to the reunion concert in October! But after my next trip to WDW. I feel like I'm 17 again.
