Ever seen someone famous while at wdw?

Not Disney, but we stayed at a hotel in New Orleans while a celebrity benefit was going on. We were waiting on the celebrities to come down the red carpet, and we were eating in the hotel. Suddenly my mom pointed out that Mark Ruffalo was siting at a table somewhat near us. I didn't know who he was at the time, but now I would be freaking out.

Once the celebrities came down the red carpet I saw Morgan Freeman, Octavia Spencer, Seal, some Soap Opera stars, and Harrison Ford (but he seemed like a jerk because he was trying to avoid people and pictures).

I doubt this counts, but I waited in the rain to see Neil Patrick Harris in Candelight Processional.

I thought this thread was about famous people we've seen at WDW?

In Feb 2013 while standing in line for Enchanted Tales with Belle we saw Michael Strahan take some kids in through the exit. Stopped the line for a good 30mins.

During my January trip I was at Pinocchio's Village House getting food and as I was finding a seat a loud scream of girls start running and I couldn't really tell who it was..At first I thought some Mediocre Disney Channel star was in the area so I asked a CM who it was....Turns out it was Honey Boo Boo & Momma....Yeah....This is what we get excited about America...*Facepalm*

Neil Patrick Harris walked right between my sister and I last year on the curb of Main street while waiting for Mickeys Once upon a Christmastime Parade while at MVMCP! We said "Hey, Neil!" And he turned around and said hello!

haha....he had to go twice...that has to be rough.

Oh that wasn't fair of me - he walked by on the way to the restroom and then on the way back from it. He didn't go twice - sorry for the ambiguity! He gave us a friendly smile on the way back and said hi. I just wanted to say "Hi Vinnie!" but I didn't.

Probably 6 years ago now, maybe more, I was at MGM with my mom. She wouldn't ride Tower of Terror, but I wanted to. I went on by myself. In the mean time, she hung out by the exit. Beyonce came out of the exit of the ride. Turns out she was performing there that night for an after hours event.

My brush with a celebrity: seeing Tom Cruise and Suri at the MK around 1 a.m. on the carrousel in August 2012. This picture is evidence of why I will never make a living as a paparazza or write a trip report.

He's dressed warmly for August in Florida.

When I stayed Club Level at the Boardwalk Inn I saw that Cat Cora was staying in a suite right across from my room. That same day a few hours later she came into the lounge and I asked for a picture with her and she was nice about that.

Plus the past couple of years I also stayed there the night of the College Football awards. One night I walked right past Desmond Howard who was there presenting an award and this past December I saw Johny Manziel walking into the show at Atlantic Dance. I wasn't actually standing there to see him. He just happened to be walking the red carpet as I walked there and he was being introduced.

Saw Pat Sajak w/ family at Alfredos.

Saw Brian Wilson doing 'Deck the Halls' (over and over and over and over and over again) for Extreme Makeover Home Edition, in early November.

Saw David Rosengarten (a food network host when it actually was about cooking edible food) doing a F&W special.

And this isn't either me or WDW, but my mom had her picture taken with Walt at DL.

Waaaaaaay back in the day we were leaving Epcot while they were filming an episode of "Step by Step" there in the entrance plaza. It used to be such a thing for every sitcom to have a WDW episode.

Also at DL we saw Tom Bergeron filming an episode of of AFV there. Never seen anyone out in the wild though.

Me and my sisters saw Joey Fatone from *Nsync at Hollywood Studios earlier this month.

Have I Met A Celebrity At Disney? Unfortunately, No.

But, My Mom Met The King Of Pop Himself, Michael Jackson.

I saw Tom and his daughter a couple of years ago. We were next on Buzz and they stopped us, Tom got on the ride at the exit and went right past us. Then they had left 6 or so open ride vehicles and let us board.

Had I known what was happening, I would have snapped a pic. When they got off, they exited through backstage.

Don't recall the year but we saw Hulk Hogan and Familiy.

My sister was his VIP tour guide several times in the mid-90s. She said he and his family were very nice.

Back when Joan Lunden and Regis Philbin hosted the holiday parades, we met Joan Lunden in line at one of the Contemporary Resort stores.

My son spotted one of the top rated skateboarders, Shane ONeil at AK in March 2013. Had his hoodie up so idk how my 12 year old son saw him in the middle of Asia(I think). Got a pic and Autogragh, made the entire trip for my son. Kudos to Shane, thanks

Two trips ago we were in the que for It's a Small World and I swear to God I saw a real life Mr Burns from the Simpsons. I kept looking, he waved. I saw he had security and to just be goofy asked for a pic and an autograph...HE OBLIGED!!! He was very nice! Everyone thought it was hilarious. Turns out his name was Frank Blake and he's the CEO of The Home Depot. I still feel like a complete jackass every time I think about it.
