As a kid I stood in line behind Ricky Schroder (Silver Spoons) (who I had a really big crush on, I was like 4 lol) I believe it was for IASW.

My cousin literally bumped into KeKe Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee) at DHS in January of 07.

Saw Rebecca Romjin and John Stamos at Christmastime 2001 (my brother and sister saw them without me at MK, then the next day we all saw them at MGM).

My mom, dad, and sister saw Jamie Lee Curtis in DL back in 2006 while I was riding Space Mountain.

Later that day, while alone, I saw Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond (it's amusing to me that they saw a celebrity, I was annoyed, then I saw one of my own without them :D).

Last summer I saw Ben Roethlisberger in DTD (I literally froze in my tracks...I was alone, so I had to call my dad immediately to tell him. Too bad I didn't have my camera).

While my brother and friend were CPs in 1999, they saw Doug Flutie (apparently he's a fan, since another person saw him too...it was cool, since he was playing for Buffalo at the time, my brother loaded him into Skyway), Sigourney Weaver, Drew Carey, and Harrison Ford.

Wayne Brady was doing a show in front o Main Street Station for a PBS special with Jim Brickman a few years ago.

And many moons ago, I met Ollie Johnston drawing the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty at the Studios. Such a nice man. :(

We've seen Steven Tyler on two different trips at the Boardwalk. Pat Benatar was on the treadmill beside me at the health club at the Boardwalk.
We saw Geraldo Rivera and his family at Stormalong Bay at the Beach Club. My son got to play the Boardwalk carnival games with the son on one of the members of Boys to Men. I don't know his name but his son and my son were about the same age and he asked me if I minded if they played together. I had no clue who he was but he and his family were escorted by Disney security and when they left I asked a CM who he was.

I seen Michael Jackson in Epcot coming off SSE. This was about 5 years ago. Boys II Men guys live in the neighboring town. My Father built a house that 1 of the guys lives in. I meet him on a hot summer day in July when I was 9 months pregnant and miserable.

My brother & his wife waited in line behind one of the backstreet boys & his wife in WDW world a few years back when the band was more popular. Surprisingly not many people were bothering them, which I thought was nice.

During ESPN the weekend, my other brother & his friends met a few sports celebrities and they loved that.

I however have never seen anyone famous at WDW!

I saw princess Diana in MK one year. I also saw Joe Theisman in Epcot and my favorite one was Danny Kaye while they were filming the Epcot opening special in 1982. I have a pic of him in my photo album. :wave:

Think it would have been way back in 2001 or 2003 but we saw Bruce Willis and a very tall basketball player stepping out a limo and going into Planet Hollywood. I think they were doing something to promote his latest film at the time, "The Kid".

He got up to get something from the food table and as he returned to his spot, my father-in-law yelled at him "hey sport...your going to drop your bagel!"

:ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL::lol:
As soon as he said it I nudged him hard and growled in a whisper...Do you know who that is? That's Burt Lancaster! He said in his defense..."His plate was tipping, he was going to drop his bagel on the floor.":shrug:
My FIL has no tact when it comes to interaction with the public. He'd yell at the Queen of England if he felt he needed to do it.:lol:

One time I thought I saw Danielle Danato from Big Brother 8 but then I took a second look and saw that it was just Kaa, the evil snake from the Jungle Book. :fork:

I was heading to the restroom near Test Track at Epcot and this tall thin guy with a hat, sunglasses and a backpack comes bounding in front of me like an antelope....I did a double-take and realized it was Neil Patrick Harris. I understand he's a bit of a WDW fanatic and is seen there frequently.
