Seen Anyone Famous at the Resorts?

[Ladyhawke10]

I saw Oprah at Disneyland Park, but I know that doesn't count. Anyone had an experience with a celebrity at any one of the WDW resorts?

i was at the Coranado Springs a few years back and Vanilla Ice was in the room next to us with his extended family.....also ate next to him in the Pepper market. He was a nice guy and gave me and my friends autographs.

I couldn't believe it. We were eating at Jikos and Tom Stewart and Audrey West walked in. I was in heaven. At first I didn't want to bother them, but then my wife said, you idolized them your whole life and now you are not going to say hello.

I walked up to Audrey and told her I loved her latest CD and she said thanks and Tom joked with me and said what about mine. I laughed and said I had all his CDs and even some rare collectibles. They were really great and the looked even better in person. For Superstars they were surpirsingly down-to-earth. I saw them live in concert probably about 50 times. I am a huge Tom Stewart/Audrey West fan. And to think, I thought they weren't really married.

At one point I was even the president of their fan club (N.Y. Chapter). It truly was a dream come true. By the way if you haven't heard their new CD (it's awesome). I love the title track called "Bring it On". It really is inspiring.

When we were at the Swan once they were taping the German Idols around the resort. My one ds tried to talk to them but they really had a language translation problem. But one girl did dance a little for him. They later said that someone famous was coming to give them pointers, I cant remember like someone from the backstreet boys or a group like that.

A couple years ago we were eating inside Mexico and Christina Agulara (can't spell) sat down a couple tables away. Alot of people didn't even notice them, maybe because it is dark in there and there were only 4 of them.

I was sitting in the lobby of the GF and who walks off the elevator but Angela Lansbury! She was at Disney promoting "Beauty and the Beast".

Not sure how famous he is - I saw Walt Willey (Jackson Montgomery of All My Children) during soap weekend 11/02. I was getting on the elevator at AKL early one morning and he was in it!

I saw a man who I thought was Howard Stern at AKL a year or two ago, but, in retrospect, I think it might have been Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca in the Star Wars films) because it was during Star Wars weekends. They do look kinda similar, though.

Before he became Governor, I saw Arnold with Maria and the kids in the private dining area of Alfredo's in Epcot.

Years ago I saw Kevin Bacon in the gift shop at the Contemporary Resort.

 

[sanibelover]

We saw Rick Bayliss (from the Food Network) at BOMA (of course). That's the extent of my celebrity sightings.

 

[grumpymakesmehappy]

I met Patti Duke at Epcot about 10 years ago. She was so nice. She took a picture with me and signed an autograph.

 

[scanne]

I saw Joey Fatone (Backstreet Boy or NSyncer?) and he was in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, at the F&WF last year. I didn't say anything, but it was neat to see him.

One of my students saw Michael Jackson at Epcot during Illumnations three or four years ago. He brought in pictures and everything.

Years ago I saw Kevin Bacon in the gift shop at the Contemporary Resort.

Weird! Was he alone or as part of an entourage?

how dare you get the two confused!!! Nsyncer, DUH! lol

I was a huge obsessive fan of them from 12-16 or so. And i still follow JC's solo career and see him in concert Hey, he may be 10 years older than me, but a girl can dream cant she?

 

[CinRell]

I saw Mark Curry on September 3 this year at magic kingdom. The mainstreet dancers were making a huge deal over him or I'd never have noticed.

Tom Stewart and Audrey West​

I'm drawing a complete blank.

Nothing shows up on google, either.

 

[boomhauer]

We saw and met Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel outside Pioneer Hall before the Hoop Dee Doo. My wife went up to her, and she was the sweetest woman in the world. Gave my wife an autograph, and even asked if she would like a picture.

Took DH and 3 DD's to WDW for first time in 1996. Had no idea that it was the first Soap Stars Weekend until we got to MGM our first morning. Oh my gosh, low and behold all the those soap stars!!! Susan Lucci, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, and the list just goes on and on! I have been a fan of All My Children since 1972! My poor kids kept having to drag me away from all the soap activities so they could go on rides and see shows they wanted to see! I got my picture taken with one of the stars of One Life to Live (can't remember his name - he wasn't on the show very long) so DH had his picture made with the life size card board cut out of Jessica Rabbit!

We were staying at the BWI in concierge the same time Steven Tyler was there. My kids opened the Inn Keepers Door and who is on the other side but him and his family. He was very nice, talked on his cell phone on the couch outside of the lounge a bit.

Saw Lissa Gibbons at AK at the Tarzan Rocks show with her family.
