UPDATE ****PICS IN POST #8****


Well, the title does say it all!! While we were waiting for our table at CP (Wednesday, Aug 13) Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was escorted past us. It all happened quickly, no time to snap a photo, as he has his own security guards as well as disney CM's around him. Five miuntes later, we were being seated at CP...right next to THE ROCK!! DS (12) and DH were exstatic!! We were seated next to theirs. DS and DH were facing him. DS(5) had no clue. Their table had about 10 people at it- they were celebrating their daughter's birthday- his wife and mother in law were there, along with 4 little girls (and other assorted relatives). His security guards were seated directly behind him (The Rock).

Dwayne was very low key, and his wife got his food from the buffet. While we desperatley wanted to snap away and take lots of pictures, our conscience and the fact he had BIG security guards :cool2: deterred us- we wanted to respect their family and let them celebrate their daughter's birthday in peace....HOWEVER, this WAS a CHARACTER lunch, so when Pooh came around, we got The Rock in our photo- pretty much on purpose- as well as one other shot of him. At the dessert buffet, their daughter ran into DH and the Rock's wife was very apologetic to him- DH told his wife it was no big deal.

We had the same waitress as he did, so after they left, we asked her if he was a good tipper ;) .She said the tip WAS included but he did give her more- she said that he was very nice, too. My DS went over and sat in the chair that he was sitting in, and we got a photo of him, as well as their not entirely cleard off table- the Rock had a big Evian water bottle that the CP had given him to drink and DH wanted to take the bottle home. I don't know how to add photos to my posts, but I can eith PM them if anyone who wants to see or make DH post them...they are kind of funny as one is of me and DS (5), but I told DH to PRETEND to take it of us- but really he was taking it of The Rock- so our expressions are PRICELESS (and kind of embarrasing...) It was a very fun lunch!!

We saw him, too, that day! He (and large party) were coming out of the restroom pathway shared by Frontierland and Adventureland.

My girls were SO excited!
 
How cool!

To insert an image you have to upload it to a place like photobucket. Then in the screen were you make a reply hit the insert image icon (the one with the little mountain and sun) and then insert the image url.
 

Iri920- thanks for the info- we've been up since 4:45 am- we left the World this AM- I'll try to get pics posted today- they are uploaded from the camera onto the computer, but not into my photo account...
 
How cool! I would have loved to see the "Rock". What a great memory to add to your WDW vacation!:wizard:
 
OK- I'm attempting to put in the photos......PLEASE note that I normally don't share pictures of myself with people, and certainly not ones as bad as what you are about to see....:rolleyes1 Just remember, you guys are family...

These pictures are great! I just love how you casually posed in pictures to include the Rock! I would have done the same!;)
 
Very awesome!! Love the pictures!! :thumbsup2 Thanks so much for sharing with all of us :)
 
Wow, that's great that you saw him, it just added to the excitement of your vacation:cheer2:
 
Thanks for the *positive* comments about the photos ;) ... It definitely was one of the highlights of the trip...It was also neat to see such a big star in such a low-key environment- he seemed like (and was) a very normal guy, nice family, cute, slightly rowdy group of little girls enjoying a magical celebration like everyone else in the World...
 
Very smooth...just the way I would have done it!:cool1:
 
I don't think my Dh would have sat there quietly :lmao: He loves THE ROCK, well and so do I. I probably wouldn't have been as discreet as you were though, seems I don't know how to :rotfl2:

Me too, with my big mouth I would have had to say something....:rotfl:

Love the pics, you all look so casual :laughing:
 
Cool that you saw him... I wonder if the food tasted yucky to him b/c he's used to better quality. Strange thing to wonder, I know. :goodvibes

I looked him up on imdb and it says he got divorced in May, so I wonder if you saw his wife or not. Maybe they took a trip together for their dd. :confused3

That is what I thought, but was waiting until I got home to ask DH.
