I went to MGM the same time ESPN was there and I hated it. Mostly because my friend wanted to stand there and listen to the interveiwers rather than getting on rides. I did take a picture of caron butler from the La Lakers. I guess hes a celebrity

Well this didn't take place "at Disney" but on the WAY TO Disney!

I was off buying some gum and a drink for our flight at LaGuardia Airport in NYC about 1 & 1/2 weeks ago for our flight to MCO when I come back and my mom and dad are smirking at me. They then turn me in the direction of a guy who's standing by himself with sunglasses on and nervously playing with his cell phone. The person turned out to be JC Chazez (spelling?) from N'Sync. He had a faux-hawk haircut and sunglasses on inside the terminal but it was pretty easy to spot him even if you love or DESPISE boy-bands :drevil: . The 30 minutes we waited before boarding, not one person went up to him and it didn't seem like too many people recognized him.

My sister met JC at Dulles airport in VA.

Ive met ALOT of celebs on my many trips! I remeber we were having breakfast in the castle and Cal Ripken and his family were there. I met the guy who plays the butler on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air at the then Aladdin soundstage buffet thing. Raven at Mama Mel Rose in MGM as well. We once saw what we believe was Stevie Wonder, but guess he didnt see us..., but by far the best celebrity meeting I had at disney was when I got to meet Shaq at the All Star Cafe over at wide world of sports. I was literally reading his bio on the wall when I turn around and see a HUGE guy walk in front of me. I did one of those double take kinda things like you see in the cartoons lol. Turns out him, his chef, and his bodyguard all drove up and parked at the door on matching harleys. So hes being escorted to the game area by management who open up the token machine and just give him handsful. He then tells me that him and I are going to play some basketball on one of those little arcade shooting basketball games. Needless to say he beat me badly. He would just put the ball in the hoop. So then he tells me that were gonna go play something that I had a better chance at and we went to play mortal kombat 4. I beat him in that and needless to say it was kinda one of those "Let the Wookie win" kinda moments lol. My parents ran to get a camera while all this was going on and they went and asked a CM where Shaq was and they told him some kid was playing games with him lol. Later my mom happened to walk by his table on our way back to ours and said she heard him saying he couldnt believe he lost to me because he owned that game at home lol. That was by far the coolest moment I've ever had at Disney!!!!

I think, and I mean I THINK, I saw Nick Carter and Brian Litrell of the Backstreet Boys in Magic Kingdom in December 1997...I wasn't exactly sure if it was them or not, yet I was kind of star struck little kid, that I didn't even get a pic to confirm...lol...I do know that they were on the Christmas Parade that year, but I wasn't sure of the day it was being filmed or anything...lol...so it was kinda, sorta, almost a celebrity sighting

I was on the auto train once with Christie Brinkley...that was really cool. Saw her walk by the lounge car a few times with huge sunglasses on. Then when we got to the Sanford station, she was sitting in the middle of the station waiting for her car, I walked up to her and said hi, talked to her a little and got her autograph.:D

I've only met one celebrity there, but he was a major one. Back in 1990, I was getting off the Tea Cups with my brother and my dad (God rest his soul) and my mom said to us that she saw Jim Henson (God rest his soul, too) sitting on a bench. He was filming the "Muppets At Walt Disney World" special and, with his consent, we got to meet him. We didn't ask for an autograph, but we did take a picture with him. He was wearing sunglasses, but he said that he would take them off so that the people who saw the photos would know that it was him. On top of that, he did the voice of Kermit The Frog for me.

It was an experience I'll never forget.

Oh, and also: My brother and I saw Ron Jeremy, one of my favorite actors, walking past us as we exited Splash Mountain. I was 17 and my brother was 15, so it would've been odd for us to go up to him, but we nodded at him and he nodded back and gestured to the babe on his arm.

That was cool.

Sincerely,

on April 7, i was at EPCOT and i passed by this guy that looked just like Ricky Ullman but he was wearing a hat and was walking with this girl....i asked my sister about it but he had already walked far enough where we coudnt see him. Im like 80% positive it couldve been him because that was the day of the grand opening of Expedition Everest and i know a lot of Disney Channel stars were attending the event....maybe he was taking a break from the media..?

When I went back in February we were just getting off RnRc, and so was Celine Dion. It was funny because right before we saw her I was talking about how I've never seen a celebrity at Disney before, as many times as I've been there. lol

I was 12 in 1997, and I loved BSB. Now, if I had seen Brian at WDW, I think I would have :dazzle: :dazzle: :dazzle: :dazzle: :dazzle:
