Hulk Hogan, elevator, Grand Floridian. No pics, though. Apparently he isn't as tall as portrayed. It wasn't me who met him, more like a family member. Although I'm pretty sure I saw Eric and Danielle from The Amazing Race at concierge at the same hotel.

In March, as I'm sure all of you guys know (and I actually read about it on here), Donnie Osmond was in the World. However, my grandparents and I were NOT aware of this little fact.

We were eating in Tusker House for the first time (which, surprisingly, was actually REALLY good and overwhelmingly empty), and, as our meal was about to be over, we saw one of the waitresses shrieking. So, when our waitress asked what all of the shrieking was about, she said "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but Donnie Osmond is here."

My grandmother stood up, shocked. See, my Aunt (her daughter) is one of the biggest Donnie Osmond fans EVER. We're talking her-favorite-color-is-purple-and-she-converted-to-Mormonism kind of fanatical. She has met him a few times, talked to him on the phone a few times, and been to dozens of concerts.

So, my grandmother runs over to him (he's just minding his own business and getting his food, mind you!) and says hi, and asks to take a picture. She then also asks if he will talk to her daughter on the phone if she calls her--- and he says yes!!! So, they surprise my fanatical Aunt, and they talk on the phone.

Donnie was very, very sweet; I certainly would not have done that!

I guess I am not as lucky as some of you.

The closest I have come to seeing a celebvrity is on the opening day of POC after it was revamped for the movie. I know it was a Friday...July 5th or 6th of 06'...anyhoo...Johnny Depp was there to open the ride. We didn't know this and we got to the ride an hour after he was there. We were even in the park and didn't know this, even were there the day before and didn't know this. Ah, well!!:)

I guess they are only celebs if you know who they are. Most of the people mentioned on here I have never heard of. I was waiting for a friend to get off RnR a couple of years ago and loads of girls started shouting at a guy so some managers moved them from the exit apparently it was Steven Tyler the CM's said. He exited through a door at the other side of the unload.

I wonder if they enjoy even going to WDW.

I know they are Stars and everything and probably like the exposure but at WDW -it must be a pain. Every where you turn everyone asking for autograghs or pics etc.

They would maybe have time for 2 or 3 attractions I would imagine.

Now if they were HUGE Super Stars,I guess they would have escorts but still.

Im glad im a NOBODY.:D

I had the pleasure of meeting Annette Funicello (SP) back on my very first trip to WDW. We went to Chef Mickey's for the Character Breakfast and as we came out we went up to the Monorail station to head into the Magic Kingdom and she was up there by herself. It was neat to meet an original Mouseketeer.

Outside of Super Soap Weekend and ESPN the Weekend, the only celebrities I've seen are Samantha Brown filming her latest special and Chris DiMarco (PGA golfer).

It was not at WDW:eek:, but once at Universal CityWalk, DH SWEARS he saw ________ Clark:lol:. There was an area roped off in front of the Hardrock Live and we had asked a bouncer what was going on. Well, he said ________ Clark was inside. So we went inside the restaurant, had dinner and a few drinks (DH had more than me) and the next morning he was like "do you remember seeing ________ Clark?":ROFLOL: He really wasn't there, but you can't tell DH that:brick::lol:

The blanks are a name short for RICHARD! Not dirty I swear

If you were there around the second week to middle of March 2005, it was him alright. He jumped on (with his kids) the limo before us and we saw him leaving through the store afterwards.
