What celebrities have you seen?

[LetsGoAgain]

Besides the ones making scheduled appearances at WDW, have you seen any celebrities enjoying it as a guest?

When we were there Gordon Elliot (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/gordon_elliott/article/0,1974,FOOD_9885_1696190,00.html) with his family at Turtle Talk with Crush. His son was singled out by Crush and then he asked where his dad was. Gordon's responses to Crush were so well scripted it seemed.. you could tell he was a natural. We didn't realize who he was until we were leaving. I know he isn't a super star, but he was on the only celebrity we saw while there.

Have you ever spotted anyone famous? Other than the WDW characters of course. :animwink:

The only celebrity I've seen is actually a local one(for me,from Miami).Kristi Kruger from Local 10 News was once in the MK when I was.It was pretty cool actually.

Not sure who he was, but saw an NFL player with his family last year... only knew it because he was being swarmed by people for signatures and I overheard them saying who he was. Also, on the same trip we saw Ice T in Epcot.

Saw Neil Patrick Harris coming of ToT last December with friends. He was real nice and let me take a picture of him with my son.

Last year during the 4th of July week I was in the Boardwalk's fitness center and in there working out was NFL pro bowl safety Brian Dawkins of the Philadelphia Eagles.

I think they said celebrities.....not washed up untalented people.

I have never seen anyone famous in WDW (that I can think of), but Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler from MTV's Meet the Barkers were staying at my hotel (Grand Californian) in DL last Labor Day Weekend. My step-dad is a HUGE Blink 182 fan so he actually stopped and talked to them for a few minutes. They were both very nice and very personable.

My girlfriend saw some soap star on POTC last November. Supposedly I saw him too but I have no idea who he is. He was getting loaded into the POTC boat away from the queue line. Came in the back door on the loading dock or something. Was escorted by a CM. Im not sure that many people knew who he was though....I surely didnt

i saw quite a bunch. my fav. occured at universal, and it was the JONAS BROTHERS. I am a huge fan, so are my friends and cousins. we went to all their concerts, same with hannah montana/miley cyrus. but this story is quite funny. my friends and i had gotten up early and decided to go to the front desk of the beach club to see if we could get reservations at the saratoga spa becuase we were having dinner at Victoria and Alberts and i wanted a nice manicure since my one was ruined from swimming and they useually dont last long. anyway. we saw a women and her daughter in jonas brothers t-shirts, and they looked very excited. i said i like your shirt, and they said, "didnt u hear, they are at universal studios and that they are playing for ellen." i was like omg. so i got on my jb tshirt and got my friends and cousin's ready and i drove and my parents drove us to universal. i must say it was by far the most funnest random moment ever. the look on my cousins face was priceless. we were in one of the first rows at the taping, and it was amazing. they did a great show.
but besides that, i like to think of celeb sightings is something that is annoying and rude. just because their celebs doesnt mean we have the right to bother them, or get into their bus. when celebs are on vacation, they want to relax, and would be prefered to be left alone. i always feel bad when swarms of people run up to them.

I asked him for his autograph and he said he would give me one when he was done. I went to the other half of the room to do some cardio and he actually came over to me and said he was ready. I didn't have anything to sign so I grabbed a brochure for the Boardwalk spa and had him sign that. All the stories I have heard about him was that he was a real jerk, but he was very nice to me.

 

[WildLodgeFan]
