I got to ride on the Pre Opening of Everest with Kelly Rippa and her husband. She and her husband sat directly behind me. (Their Disney guide rode next to me)

I actually video taped all of us together on the train,..it was hilarious. They were both super cool.

Saw Drew Carey on AK opening day.

Ate lunch with Juan Howard and his family in the castle.

Saw that guy that is surgically converting himself into a "Lion-man" at The Grand Californian in Disnayland (at Storyteller's Cafe)

I also saw Aaron Brooks, the old QB from the Bengals and the Saints at the ESPN Club on my last trip. It was really cool listening to him talk to everyone. My Dad even talked to him personally in the hallway by the bathroom. I leave in 2 days for Disney and I sure hope I see some more stars.

Do you mean Jeff Blake? Aaron Brooks never played for the Bengals that I know of.

Wow Cliff you see a lot of Celebrities. How was Kelly? Where was Regis?

Na,...not really,..If you go there as much as I do, you just get lucky every now and then.

Tip: Look for the very well dressed Disney escorts. Many times they are easier to spot then the actual stars themselves.

Kelly was very cool. Much more than I expected. I wasn't a fan of hers at all before. However, after riding Everest with her,..she changed my mind. Her husband hardly spoke but he smiled and laughed allot.

Regis wasn't there. They were joking about him when I first walked to their line and stopped when I got there.

I would post the pictures here if I could.

LMAO!

I guess he was there with the annual group of kids that the WWE takes to Disney World every year. I know Trish Stratus went one year as well. When I saw him he was being interviewed in the grass outside the castle.

Oh, wow, I didn't know they did that!

I'm sure the kids that went to Disney with Trish Stratus didn't actually go for the Disney part... :animwink:

But it's great to hear that the WWE takes kids to Walt Disney World every year.

I am a big baseball fan so those are the people I am going to recognize while in the park.
I have talked to Reggie Jackson when I was a cast member. He was there with his grand kids.

I have also seen Jim Thome (Indians) near Haunted Mansion, Paul O'Neill (Yankees) near Haunted Mansion, Glenn Hubbard (Braves) at Downtown Disney and John Kruk (ESPN announcer) at the character breakfast at the Poly.

You can also see a lot of celebrities during ESPN the Weekend, Soap Opera Weekend, Star Wars Weekend, Night of Joy, Grad Nights, and Candlelight processionals.

Haha, yes!

It's great to know that there's another person out there who can love and respect two women like them, and not some trashy... well, you know what I mean.

If I were a celebrity (especially a rich celebrity), I would probably find it frustrating to have all that money to go to WDW as often as I like, but not be able to do it without anonymity and privacy.

Yeah, there are VIP guides to help you out, but it gets a little awkward when he/she is there sharing dinner at a restaurant with you (I have seen this).

I know, boo-hoo, right? :lol:
