Has Anyone Ever Seen A Celebrity In Wdw

[WDisneyWforMe]

On our January 2005 trip we saw Steven Tyler in RnR! It all happened so fast we weren't even sure if what we had seen was real, he was in the exit gift store. We asked the girl as we were checking out and she said it was him. They were riding the ride!!

I see a lot of people on this thread note that they only have a paper photo of the celebrity because they weren't using digital cameras then.

You can take a digital photo of the paper photo and post that in your message. We do it all the time to put our old family photos on back up discs, so it works.

With that said, I have NEVER seen a celebrity at Disney

Then in March of 2005, I saw Chris Kirkpatrick (from N'Sync) At the westside of DTD

Oh my god I saw Chris Kirkpatrick in DTD in January 2007!!!

I also met Vince Neil (Motley Crue) way back when The Cage was still in Pleasure Island....and I saw Pauly Shore in MGM also 15 years (or longer) ago.

We were in line for the Pooh ride this past Saturday. Guess who was behind us ROB THOMAS from Matchbox 20~~ pretty random. Also saw John Ohurley the day before but that was for the processional so I guess that doesn't count LOL!

The only famous people I have seen....A family from Extreme Makeover Home Addition! We were staying at the same hotel.

I m a big fan of Brett Farve!! I dont know how I would have reacted!! What did he say and how did he act when that happened?

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, I didn't read every page. But, back when MGM Studios at DW first opened they had a star a day at the park. It lasted for awhile, but then stopped. Now Brett is a different story. Being born in WI and now in FL, I adore him. Now I watch the Jets!!!!

Well, admittedly, it was a lot easier to have celebrities make daily appearances back when it was a working production studio where actual movies and TV shows were filmed. Nowadays about the only things that gets filmed at the Studios are the occasional promotional spots or commercials.

No proof necessary! I asked because I would not think to get the photo until after he walked away. Then I would be sorry I didn't ask.

I'm somewhat of a Favre fan (ok, I'm a big Favre fan!) and my guess is he was with his wife. She's a brunette. I'm not sure if she's "tall" as I've never seen either of them in person.

Either way, I'm jealous that you got to put your head on his chest. I think it's hilarious he was on the pooh ride. I don't think I've been on that since the 1970's.

I don't want to turn this in to a "Brett Favre" fan club post, but since there's so much interest and a previous poster pointed out how to attach a non digital photo, here you go....

Personally, I'm not really a Favre fan. I would have been much happier to bump into Tom Brady, Teddy Bruschi, Big Papi, or Jason Veritek. But, I guess I feel lucky to have had my encounter with Brett (by the way, I do remember that bumping into his chest was like hitting a brick wall- he was much taller and more muscular than I would have imagined!)

 

[LovinPooh]

Cool pic... even if it is his back lol. I too would rather run into Tom Brady. I would be like 'hey, thanks for getting hurt'

and no, I have never seen anyone famous except for the mouse himself

 

[Belle_princess]

My only brush with fame was last week when I saw John O'Hurley at the Candle Light Processional. Doesn't count, huh?

A few years ago we were at the parks and all of a sudden my son says OMG thats Tom Savini...(of course I had no idea at the time who Tom Savini was) but I looked and all I saw was someone who looked like my ex. My son went on and on about it and the guy looked pretty approachable so I told him to go up and ask if he was that big of a fan..He goes to the guy and asks are you Tom Savini? and the guy says who is that??? and my son goes on and on with EVERYTHING Tom Savini has ever did...Finally Tom smiles, shakes his hand and gives him a card with his name etc on it. He seemed very surprised that he would have such a huge fan...lol For any who do not know the one thing I can remember Tom Savini played in was Dusk til Dawn ... If you are a horror fan you probably know of his other abilities but I have forgotten them....
Below is the picture of Tom Savini and my son Genesis..

The following year my son met Nancy Kerrigan (sp) the ice skater at DTD World of Disney Store
Last year he met George Romero (I believe he said hes a producer or something ...sorry ppl I am not enough of a fan of anyone...lol) I dont have the pictures of Nancy or George....
Also last summer we were at HS watching Beauty and The Beast and there was a NFL player sitting across from us, I have no idea who he was but I know the face....

 

[Im_with_Dopey]

We were eating at LLT in Aug. and my son in law spotted Mick Foley (WWE)asked to have his pic taken with him and he did. Very nice guy.

Yesterday, we were in the Yacht Club lobby and my friend's son was going crazy because some rapper by the name of Tech Nine was standing next to us.
Today, Kelli Rippa was in my friend's vehicle on Toy Story Mania and I had no clue, but her husband and one of their kids was in mine. I even heard my friend say "Hi Kelly!" and I was totally oblivious.
The same kid from earlier was freaking out today when we were in the elevator at AKL because some VP of Playstation or something was in it with us.

Okay, not at Disney but in Florida....

Lance Bass from 'NSync in a TGIF. I was ten years old and completely starstruck. The dork that I am said in front of him, 'I think I'm gonna faint.'

Not in Florida or anything Disney-related, I met Josh Groban 3 times (because he's my future husband although he doesn't yet realise it - sweetest guy alive), Mark Consuelos (Kelly Ripa's husband), John Leguizamo, Rupert (from the Hello Deli in NYC from David Letterman's show), Gaby Hoffman...if I think of more, I will post it. Oh! There was a celebrity named Cousin Brucie who I met recently and when my mom asked if I could have a picture taken with him, he said, 'She can have whatever she wants!' Whoa.

Tony Shaloub winked at me in NYC also. I saw David Letterman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Bruce Willis whilst in NYC.

I can't believe that MY future husband is cheating on me

I am really really jealous you meeting him, I picture him being such a gentleman.

Saw Matt Dallas the actor who plays Kyle XY on ABC family at MVMCP on Friday Nov 30th. He sat right in front of us at Mickey's Philaharmagic and then he talked to us afterwards and we took pictures with him. He had a Dis CM (in a plaid vest) escorting him. He was a really nice young man.

That's so cool! Matt Dallas rocks!

 

[mkymsehi]

That was weird (as in Weird Al Yankovic). We ran into him on Monday at the Maui Airport.

 

[bytheblood]

Sure, I see Mickey Mouse every time I go.


I have never seen a celebrity, but honestly I have never looked either. I saw Steven Curtis Chapman narrate CP, but that has been it.

I am not wowed by celebrities, so I am not sure I would even notice.

 

[bytheblood]

How funny (or sad) I totally remember that episode.

I do too. And what I find even more comical is that DJ's "boyfriend" Steve went on to do the voice of Aladdin.
