Anyone have any cool celebrity sightings in Disney?

The closest my family got was the year Michael Phelps broke the Olympic record (can't remember what year that was?). We didn't actually see him, but a week after we left he was spotted walking across the Wilderness Lodge lobby. We had stayed there the week before; we just missed him!

Lame, I know. That's as close as I've been. Which celebrities did you see? Did you talk to them?


"When hinges creak in doorless chambers... and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls.. whenever candlelights flicker... where the air is deathly still... that is the time when ghosts are present... practicing their terror with ghoulish delight."

We saw Jeff Gordon riding Dumbo one year. This was before the Dumbo move.

Didn't talk to him, but some people did take pictures with him.

Was standing close enough to touch Gary Sinise by RnR. He was there with his wife and 3 daughters.

I'm dating myself here, but back in the early '80's I saw Lloyd Bridges in Epcot. He was filming something for Disney at the time. Didn't get to meet him, but I used my camera's long lens & got a couple of nice photos. :mickey:

I am not really into celebrities at all, but my son would DIE if he ran into Steven Tyler in Disney. He is a huge Aerosmith fan. He has taught himself many Aerosmith songs on his guitar. Dream on is his absolute fave!

I was leap frogging with Sean Astin for a couple miles down Harbor Blvd during the Disneyland Star Wars Half Marathon. He was doing run walk run while I was just running. Eventually I left him behind.

February 2013 was behind the entire Honey Boo Boo family (including Alana's security guy) in the standby line for Liitle Mermaid. They look just like they do on TV.
