Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
Here is a question to all, have you ever met or seen a celebrity while at WDW? We have a few including Regis back a few years when he was shooting the Easter Parade, Ernest Borgnoine at the Studios and the name escapes me now but a well known rock band while eating breakfast with my parents one morning at the Dolphin resort. Yes, you can say rock music isn't my thing but when we heard a buzz going around we asked the waitress what was going on and she told us. Me, being the way I am and since they were sitting at a table on the way out stopped and talked to them. Nice guys, but still not my type of music.

We saw Alex Trebek at MGM. And we were lucky enough to be in the audience of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, so we saw Meridith Vierra there.

We saw Sinbad at Universal quite a few years ago, but I can't think of any at WDW.

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
We've never met any celebrities at WDW....yet! We did see Warwick Davis in the parade during 2003's Star Wars weekends! Although that really doesn't count, because we didn't see him by chance! He was scheduled to be there! There's always a first time though!

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
I found out after my last trip that I was there on the same day as Paris Hilton, but I never saw her. That's alright with me though...

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
I talked with Red Wing Darren McCarty back in 2003 at the Magic Kingdom for a few minutes. In 1995, at Planet Hollywood, I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was really cool. Besides that, I cannot think of any other celebrity that I have seen at WDW.

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
Last August we were eating lunch at Mythos in IOA at the same time as Hillary Duff and her sister Haley. They were accompanied by a very large burly bodyguard.

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
I met Carrot Top once at Planet Hollywood at Downtown Disney. He was going from table to table saying hi to everyone, very weird. And during my college program, I met Fergie, the Duchess of York. She was there with her kids and had some Disney VIP escorts. She was so casually dressed with basically no makeup and her hair in a ponytail that I didn't even realize it was her.

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
Yes! When my son and I stayed at the Contemporary we rode the elevator down from the 12th floor tower with "Iago" aka Gilbert Gottfried. I was too stunned to say anything. A castmember was with him.

Re: Have you ever met a celebrity at WDW?
Not WDW, but when I worked at Disneyland I saw Lou Diamond Phillips....way cool. He was there with a little girl...didn't look like she could be his daughter because she was all blonde and curly-haired, but I don't know?
DH's trainer at DLR was backstage at one of the cast eateries in Disneyland when she backed down the steps and ran smack into Bruce Willis.  I guess she knocked him down completely and he joked about how big burly men couldn't bring him down, but it took one bump from a little old lady. LOL!
