I saw Ed from the Barenaked Ladies in MGM 2 years ago. He is a really nice person
Very true. All the Ladies are super cool. My favorite band.
Alas, I haven't noticed any celebrities. Maybe one day ...

Both of those must have been amazing.
I would love to see Julia Andrews at the Magic Kingdom.
Seeing Roy Disney with his grandchildren must have been a great feeling, as well.

OK, I'll bite! It's the price of being a celebrity. Without the recognition they crave, they would crawl in a hole and die. Yea, let's vacation at the largest, most crowded, most well known, vacation destination in the universe. You want to be anonymous, be a librarian in Kentucky. No offense intended to librarians or the state of Kentucky.

George Foreman. He was sheltered off at the Main Street train station, but he was really cute, every time someone would yell his name, he would smile and wave.
And...don't know if this counts, but to me Ron Jaworski is a celebrity...saw him at the Philly airport when we were on our way to WDW, and I'm saying to my then-husband- "Is that Ron Jaworski???" To which he replies yes and then completely shushes me and won't let me go over and say hi. And then later we walk by him again and he's chowing a hot dog and chatting to regular folks...I was so mad that I didn't follow my instinct.

During the summer I worked on the CP, I was a seating host at the Hollywood Brown Derby. We had a good bit of traffic from some of the more high profile guests that came through the park. The highlight of my summer was when I got to be the main seater when Meatloaf and his crew came in--I know can proudly claim that I put a napkin in Meatloaf's lap!!:lol:
hmmm
I met Michael from Extreme Makeover Home editions, Kyle Petty (NASCAR), and Michelle Kwan, I saw Bruce Jenner (he was staying a few doors down from me at the AK in March), Gloria Estefan, Smash Mouth, Bare Naked Ladies, Ashanti, Paige from Extreme makeover home edition, Paige from Trading Spaces, Corey from That's so Raven, the Cheetah girls. I can't think of anyone else right now...

I met Rosie O' Donnel at AK and Drew Carry when I got off of RRC at MGM!!!
Rosie was wonderful!!
Drew Carry on the other hand was very rude! I loved his show and was a big fan! I went up to him and said hi and was looking for a pen "took me literally 5 seconds" But he told me if I didn't have a pen, then to step to the side!

Recently it was Andy D_ick at Disneyland. I do remember those Star of the Day events at the Disney-MGM-Studios - I've always wondered why they canned that idea.
And for all of you who haven't spotted a famous person all you have to do is look for plaid and boom you're bound to find a celebrity.

AUGGHHH!! I am so jealous. Did you ask him to sing "Shiny Teeth"? Used to be I loved Chris Kirkpatrick for being in 'N Sync...now "we" adore him for being Chip Skylark. Yep, that's the sound of me getting older (not like, at 30, when I was young and hip and liked 'N Sync.)

I have just died of jealousy.
One time I walked smack into Vanessa Williams in the Wonders of Life pavilion, if that gives you any indication of how long ago it was:lookaroun I said excuse me and kept walking. I got about 10 feet and thought, "Huh. That was Vanessa Williams."
