I was just curious if anyone has spotted a famous celebrity or famous person(s) while at any of the parks. If so, did they look like they were having a good time? I have never myself, although on one trip I think I was over eager and saw a couple of CM's that looked just like Clint Eastwood and John Travolta :hammer:. Would love to hear your stories, especially from CM's!

I haven't, but I just wanted to ask you if you know of Pastor John Raymond from the show Survivor who lives in Slidell, LA and has his own Disciple's Cross company? LOL. I just saw your location and it made me think of that! My husband and I make those stinkin disciple's crosses for extra money.

I saw Drew Carey and a few others during my time there, but can´t remember their names now. Carey and others were at the Test Track open house. ;)
 
I actually saw Danny Devito and his wife and kids at Magic Kingdom a long time ago. It was shortly after Splash Mountain had opened and me and my family were waiting in a long line. We were back in the section where the queue is out by the little bird houses before you even get to barn. And everything stops and let Danny Devito and his family in front of everyone else and they had escorts (i'm not sure if they were with Disney or not) and they walked right in, rode the ride and walked out before the line moved again.

Also I guess around 1991 maybe, me and my sisters went to a taping of the New Mickey Mouse Club (or MMC for the cool crowd). And I think that might have been when Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were on the show I don't remember them but I do remember seeing Keri Russell from the tv show Felicity

I've seen stars at the Studios, but as far as guests in the park, I've seen a few major sports figures. Franco Harris from the Steelers and one of the major pitchers from the Pirates. (can u tell i'm from PA?)

When I was a cp, I saw Method Man on Splash Mountain. I've also seen many soap opera stars at Super Soap Weekend in the Studios. I've went to that event for the last 3 years and am currently planning to (hopefully) attend my fourth one next year in November. I've also seen a couple of stars outside of the event. Last year I saw Tomy Dunster (the guy who played Juan Pablo on AMC) on Test Track (he rode the car in front of mine), which we thought was awesome. This year I saw Michael Knight (Tad Martin on AMC) in AK. He was heading to It's Tough to Be a Bug and stopped and talked to us for a while. He thanked us for being fans and watching the show. It was awesome. He also took pictures with us, not because we even asked, but because he wanted to. I asked if he minded my taking his picture (inconspicuously, so as not to draw a crowd), and he insisted that I get in it. I just thought that was the coolest thing. He was very nice and really made our day. Seeing the special "wildlife" in AK was the highlight of our day.

A friend of mine met Demi Moore. She was working Splash photo handout and handed Ms. Moore her photo.

My ex-boyfriend has met many celebs, but his most memorable was riding BTM with Aeorosmith. The guest relations cm had to move the car or something and asked the manager at splash if he had a cm who could escort them to/on BTM. My ex-boyfriend was the lucky cm who was asked to do it. He said Steven Tyler was really cool.

My best friend's fiance has met Susan Lucci too. He was custodial on his cp and was cleaning the backstage restrooms when Mrs. Lucci was in the area (actually I think he said she was heading into the women's restroom).

I didn't see him but my son and brother saw Steven Tyler getting off the boat at Small World while they were eating at the Pinocchio Village Haus. On another trip, while riding the TTA, same brother and son saw Ben Savage and Topanga (can't remember her real name) filming a spot near Tomorrowland.

I don't know him personally, but I do know of him, and he did receive quite some attention here in Slidell after he got booted from Survivor. A couple of people I know are friends of his. Um, I thought it was pretty embarrasing for him to get booted off first! He kinda deserved it though! (sorry I know this is off topic but wanted to anser her question)

I saw Joe Montana on the steps of Teppanyeki Dining about 10 years ago.
Not the most A-list, but something.

In my opinion the fact tht he is fat tony makes him an A lister. my minor celeb sighting was Bobby Flay

Hi guys,
I'm a long time lurker but I felt that I had to post on this thread. Several years ago, my family and I saw Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa Simpson) walking into the Wonders of Life pavilion. It was clearly her. We even heard her speak which was a big thrill for us (we were maybe a little too excited). She was in Orlando to do something with the rest of the cast of Herman's Head (her other show) over at MGM.

Only celebs I've seen at WDW are the ones at Star Wars Weekends (this year was Anthony Daniels and Andy Secombe).

I saw Julianne Moore at Universal Studios one time though, and two weeks back I stood behind former WWE wrestler Jeff Hardy in the queue for Revenge of the Mummy.

On my CP, I saw Sean Astin, Dave Chapelle, Mariah Carey, Clay Aiken, and the most important, Steven Tyler. And I also met a family that was on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It was great!

Well, it wasn't at WDW, but I held a converstation with the wrestler Edge at Busch Gardens Tampa. Nice guy outside of his wrestler persona.
