We saw The Rock on our last trip. He was there with his family. His dd and ours were at the BBB at the same time too.
Met Vincent D'Onofrio (Law & Order CI) in MK at Pirates and then my husband and oldest daughter rode Big Thunder Mountain right behind him and his son at MVMCP 2005. Love him .

we saw Matt Lauer with his family last October. They were at the Magic Kingdom.I just happened to see Jason Earles who plays "Jackson" on Hannah Montana while visiting AK last week. He was just visiting the park with his family and had a cast member with him. A few years back my husband spotted Chuck Liddell of Ultimate Fighting Challenge fame at MK.
Got me wondering--who else has seen someone "famous" while at WDW who was visiting the park--NOT performing or making a special appearance???
I only know his name because he won the Heisman Trophy when I was a kid, and there was skit on SNL about it. I would never have known who he was if my mom hadn't. I wouldn't recognize him if he came to my front door.
I saw Joey Fatone singing in Jellyrolls one night (he was called up on stage to sing one song). Also saw Gary Sinise at an Off Kilter show a few Christmases ago. I'm with the majority; I wouldn't recognize a celebrity if he/she approached me directly. I wouldn't have recognized Joey or Gary had someone else not pointed them out to me (or the piano man introducing him at Jellyrolls).
My story isn't so much about a brush with greatness. It's a story of a total miss that my daughter still reminds me of.
My daughter is a competitive swimmer and loves Michael Phelps. We were in WDW on vacation and were at EPCOT for the day and when we got back to the room, my husband flipped on the TV just in time to see a story of how Michael Phelps had been at MK that day and was Grand Marshall of the parade.
We still hear about how we missed him.
