Has anyone ever seen someone FAMOUS at WDW?

[Kelly1Mickey]

Joan Rivers
The cast of the Cosby Show (taping something)
James Earl Jones and the woman that plays Marlena on Days of our Lives during seperate readings of the chrstmas story.

When I was a kid we used to go to tapings of the Mickey Mouse Club a lot, so I met Britney, Justin, etc before they were what they are now.

Melissa Joan Hart

It was years ago. She was just starting Sabrina the Teenage Witch I believe or was about to. Clarissa Explains It All was still on at that time.

I'm not sure if this has been posted or if this is the right location for this post... but I was thinking about the last time I was at WDW, pry 8 years ago..... my family and I were dining at a fancy restaurant at the boardwalk (I can't recall the name- maybe one of you all can help me out).... This GORGEOUS woman walks by and I'm the only one out of my family to see her. I go, "That woman that walked by looked a LOT like Christie Brinkley..." My family didn't believe that it could really be her...so we asked our waiter..."Hey was that Christie Brinkley?????" .... He goes, "Yeah, and if you think thats cool....Earth, Wind and Fire are over at the bar...."
We look over and three older african american gentlemen were sitting at the bar I wanted to say something to the guys in E,W, and F, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what songs they sang!!!! My brother kept "going to the bathroom" to get a glimpse of Christie Brinkley . It was a fun night. Anyone else ever see someone famous??????????

I saw Michael J Fox at MGM back in 1998. He was much taller than I expected. Not tall mind you, but nowhere near as tiny as I'd been led to believe! He was standing underneath the coke bottle giving autographs and getting his photo taken with fans. Seemed a really nice bloke.
He was there filming a segment for a tv show, but not family ties. Cant remember exactly what. Might have been spin city.

BTW - There can sometimes be numerous threads about the same topic, but with the search feature being what it is these days, unless that other thread is within the first few pages - I wouldn't sweat it. I looked at the posting guidelines and there is nothing there saying that you must search for a topic before posting.

ROCK ON!

We have seen Dr. J, (Juilus Erving) at GF relaxing on lounge chairs with his family next to ours, Scottie Pippin at AK walking with his family, lots of soap stars this year because it was soap weekend and we were at BC and so were they..funny thing is I dont watch soaps so I had to get a giveaway book with their pictures to see who they were!, Rosie O'Donnell at MGM, and Bachelor Bob at BC.
We did not ask for any autographs for the simple fact they are trying to relax with their families

If this counts, in 2000 we saw a man that looked just like Santa Clause! He had a flowery beach shirt on and a long white beard. He saw us stop in our tracks with goofy looking grins on our faces, he turned and gave us a wink!

I also saw Micheal J. Fox 11 years ago at MGM. I thought he looked shorter than I thought he would. But we are a tall family so that may be why.

No celeb sightings, but gotta add my "GO BUCKS!"

I saw Dee Snyder from Twister Sister a few years ago in Downtown Disney shopping with his family.

Haha...was he wearing all the makeup and big hair?

I saw Michael Jackson at Indiana Jones at MGM in the early 90's. He had kids with him and was sitting with the regular crowd down front.

My favorite sighting was Princess Di. I have also seen Shaq,Regis, The Arnold, Jim Belushi, Raven Simone,Jason Preistly (90210) and quite a few others. Oh Kelly Ripa and my daugher had a great chat a few months ago.

Where did you see Princess Diana? My DW would be very jealous, she was a huge fan of hers.

When my best friend and I were at Epcot for July 4th last year, we were standing in line at the pastry shop in France when we noticed a very muscular man in front of us with a Superbowl Ring on. I have no idea what team he played for and I was too shy to ask. If my husband had been there, I am sure that he could have told me who the guy was!

When I was there in Feb. (2 months ago), I literally almost ran into "Baby Bob" Irwin. He darted in front of my stroller and I had to come to a very sudden stop, or I would have hit him. I didn't know who he was until I heard this voice say "I'm soooo sorry". I looked up and there was Terri Irwin and Bindi was along side her. Terri was pushing an empty umberella stroller and Bob was running around. I believe Terri and her family were there with Terri's mother. I was in shock!!!! All I could do was smile at them and keep walking. It took me by suprise and when I got to the elevator, everyone standing there was asking me, "Isn't that Terri Irwin?". Of course since I was face to face with her, I told them yes. I would have loved to take their picture, but considering all that she has been through -I couldn't do it. I had to respect her privacy on vacation with her family after her loss. This all took place at the GF. I had just gotten off the monorail with my nephew, BIL, and my 3 year old quadruplets and we were running very late for dinner at 1900 Park Fare. I was in such a rush that if Bob would not have ran in front of my stroller, I probably would not have even noticed them.
