But then again, boilerbabe - if people expect them to be DL, then they would NOT expect them to be a WDW. Allows you to be more incognito maybe.

Plus considering that DL is much, much smaller than WDW, the chances of spotting a celeb could be higher.

About a year or so ago we were sitting outside the Grand Floridian snack shop near the marina and we heard a voice say " hey Tommy, look at the ducks" and that just caught our attention beacaue all the ducks were around our table (not because we were feeding them because that's a no -no). When we looked up we saw that it was Tommy Hilfiger with a woman and a Disney employee. One of our sons tried to follow them to get a picture as they walked by, but the Disney employee kept looking back over his shoulder giving a dirty look.

I wouldn't even know what he looked like! Celebrities are so safe from me taking photos of them since I have very little idea who they are most of the time...

Actually I didn't know what he looked like, but my wife did. She had just seen him on a talk show the week before we left for WDW. Then we saw him on some show not too long after we got home and sure enough it was him.

I think I saw Steven Spielberg while at the Magic Kingdom back in 94 but there is no way to confirm it. My friend and I were in a gift shop and he (or his twin) was buying merchandise for two children that were with him. The kids were african american. I was only 17 at the time and really not sure what to do so I just acted like I was shopping while scoping out the scene. My friend and I followed the man out of the store where "he" was escorted to a secretive looking cast member door outside of the shop. I also think there was a blonde lady with him, but I've seen him with his wife in later years so I don't know if my memory is serving me well. So, there is no way to prove it was really Mr. Spielberg, and I don't think he has african american children, but it certainly looked like him and was odd that this family was escorted to a secretive exit.

As a side note, I dragged my friend outside of the store with me to follow the family and she accidently took one of the pieces of merchandise with her without paying which I thought was pretty funny and cool at the time.

I also think I saw Ted Nugent at one of the local waterparks here in Texas. Rock on! haha.

I saw Jamie Lee Curtis on June 11th (World of Color opening day) and she was walking with her family by Tower of Terror. I saw her again riding the Silly Symphony Swings while we were in line and saw her getting off of it by the time we were going up the stairs.

Also, just for laughs, Westcoaster spotted me during their Glow Fest and got a photo of me. They did an update on the 14th but they were there the same day I was (and when I saw Jamie) and took photos for World of Color and Glow Fest. The one in the gray Tigger sweatshirt is my mom then my sister in the middle then me holding a camera up. It's our backsides but hey, I was still spotted by a website! :lol:

I didn't even expect to see me in it until I browsed through the update and spotted my mom's sweatshirt. I had a real good laugh with it too!

As long as it wasn't on the "People of the Park" site, then you're good to go! ;)

Aha, no way. I dress how I always dress at theme parks though if I had to be a tourist, it'd be at Disney World since I've never been there.

Im pretty sure I saw Topher Grace while waiting in line for Toy Story. I think he started to realize that he was getting recognized and soon after got out of line and left.
