The only celebrity I ever saw at Disney was when we were visiting back in late 2000. We walked from Epcot over to the Yacht & Beach Club early one morning (it's such a pretty hotel). There were hardly any guests around at all, and it was a cool morning.
While we were walking up to the lobby (from the lagoon side), a man and woman were walking towards us. I remarked to my wife that it looked like Dale and Teresa Earnhardt. They walked by us, and I said (jokingly) "Dale?". I was stunned that he turned around and looked at us, hesitated, then they continued walking. I didn't have my camera, I had no paper/pen to get an autograph, nothing, so I didn't know else to do.
Dale was wearing jeans and a dark polo shirt, a Goodwrench cap, and had on dark wraparound sunglasses, while Teresa had on slacks, a blouse, and what looked like a pair of $200 sunglasses. Dale's trademark nose and moustache were dead giveaways.
I realized later that the Daytona 500 was coming up, and his team was probably doing some testing, and they were taking a break in Disney.
I'd hate to have Dale behind me on the Indy Speedway at MK. He'd probably be 2 inches behind me trying to draft, and giving me a tap now and then to let me know he was there. :lol:
