Who doesn't love a trip to Disney? Has anyone here ever seen a celeb (and probably paparazzi) on their Disney trips? I'd love to hear a good story.

From these pictures it seems like you need to go to Disneyland to find the most celebrities.

We saw Dan Rather touring with a Plaid in front of the Fire House at WDW. He looked somewhat like he hoped someone would recognize him, but everyone just went about their business.

Although not a major celebrity..I saw Nancy Kerrigan with her child at universal last August riding mib. I don't know if anyone recognized her...I did!

It's always the "plaids" that give it away. 1 plaid and it's just a tour. 2 plaids and it's time to play "where's the famous person".

2 plaid-wearing CMs in the smoking section in New Orleans Square clued me in, and it was the then-relatively-famous-ish Kevin Federline. I think it was shortly after his divorce from Britney Spears.

And over the DL Half weekend last year 2 of the fancy CMs again had me looking around, and this time it was Sean Astin. We ended up meeting him and chatting for a few minutes. SUPER sweet guy, big into running. He seemed a little disappointed that we don't know any of his work after LOTR, but oh well. He can't be upset with his work in that, so he'll just have to live with it.

I wondered if there might be a thread like this already. Thanks!

YESSSSSSSS That's how I spot most of them! I had just seen Jim Caviezel at Candlelight one year and the next morning at MK I saw some plaids milling about in town square, and I played "where's the celebrity" and found him!

now Julie Andrews while I was working there.....WOW

and I met Sean Astin while working there too! At our pre shift briefing at CRT one day they announced he was coming in and nobody knew who he was! I was working the podium and he came out before his family after eating and I got to chat with him about his vacation!

Julie Andrews! I'd have been completely star struck.

Julie Andrews! I'd have been completely star struck.

the crazy thing was, I was planning on going to her book signing at HS 2 days later.....so I was prepared for that moment....but her walking by the podium at RT with some penguins when I wasn't expecting it......that rendered me speechless!

I got to meet Annette Funicello many years ago. It was after she had been diagnosed and she was in one of the park stores premiering her perfume. I stood in line and waited even when she had to go take a break. I was named after my aunt who was named after her and I was not going to miss the chance. Plus, the perfume was called Annette. I just wish DM would have explained to me what would happen if I sat in on a shelf in front of a window.

We saw "Nervous" Pervis Ellison at DTD one year.

And a couple of years ago, we were in line with Steve Wilkos and his family for the teacups, LOL.

Makes sense, as that is very near where a lot of them live.

Steven Tyler over spring break this year. He was exiting 7DMT as we were about to get in the corrals.

I saw three plaids having lunch with a group at HBD last week. One of the guests looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't spot the celeb.

I used to work at Walt disney World and I was working in World showcase on a Cultural Representative Program and with Candlelight processional I got to meet Neil Patrick Harris (he bought a Canada hat in honor of HIMYM), Geena Davis, Trace Adkins (He loved Off Kilter!), the guy who plays Lex Luthor on Smallville (he bought Pajamoose from me !)and as alover of big brother I got to meet Brendan and Rachel from BB and Amazing Race. Neil Patrick Harris got us all the most giddy though! On my day off I also ran into him at Hollywood Studios we kept ending up at the same rides he must of thought I was stocking him, but in reality I just really wanted to ride Star tours

Zach Roloff (Little People Big World)and his soon to be wife Tori will be honeymooning at WDW beginning 7/26.
Adore them.

We were at the taping of Celine Dion"s Christmas Day concert at the GF and Nick Cannon (from AGT) was hosting. He was very friendly and funny!!

Someone posted on the boards that he got to ride the Caroussel near Frank Oz during Star Wars Weekends and ended up talking to him a bit and shaking his hand. There were no guides or CMs around him. He was trying to lay low.

We were at MK a few years ago when Mariah Carey was in the park with her family. We didn't actually see her, just the wake of cameras and fans.
