They are usually easy to spot because they have disney people around them. I have seen Michael Jackson back in 1986, Seal and Heidi Klum w/ their kids in Feb. 07, Comedian Brian Posehn in March 08, and chef Mario Batali (sp?) last month. BUT, I want to hear your stories.

Not one of my happy Disney memories.

He was very friendly and having a great time.

I looked over there, and the person did look similar enough to the guy from Guns N Roses to convince me, but I really don't follow them at all. He was walking with a girl who looked to be about 10...daughter maybe? It didn't look like anyone was really bothering them, and they certainly weren't being escorted. I don't know if it was him, but it's as close as I've come.

Originally Posted By submarine-maniac I have seen Adam Sandler, Johnny Depp, and Weird Al. I have seen and met Christian Bale, Ray Romano, and Leah Remini from King of Queens.

Originally Posted By RickRom I've seen Diane Keaton with her kids several times in the past few years. Just last year, my brother in law wanted to go up to her for an autograph, but my wife, (his sister) said not to bug them. He insisted, so she bet him he couldn't name any movies besides the Godfather I, II, and III that she starred in. If he could, then he could go ask for her autograph. If he couldn't then he would have to leave her alone. He couldn't name any movies, so he lost the bet and had to leave them alone!
Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 RockyMtnMinnie<<< UH color me SUPER JEALOUS Christian Bale is UBER HOT!!! submarine-maniac<<< YOU saw him too!!! That's twice! Why have I not seen him? ... Probably because I would attack him I've never seen a celebrity in the park, which is really odd to me because I do go there often you would think I'd have seen one... but hey ask and ye shall receive. I told my sister one time last year that I thought it was funny that I'd never seen a seeing eye dog in the park with as often as we go. I told her this as we were walking through the entrance. I kid you not, as we passed under the train and walked into the park there by the flagpole was a lady and her seeing eye dog!!! So, maybe next time I go I'll see Christian Bale
Originally Posted By disneylandfan8 On Nov. 1st we were in DCA getting ready to ride Grizzly River Run and Lady Starlight said "There's Howie Mandel!" I took about 6 steps backward and snapped his photo. Didn't DARE go up to him and shake his hand!!!! LOL!!! Funny thing is, everyone is in focus in the photo except my son, who is a blur right behind Howie! Bummer! Another time, about 10 years ago, we were in the Golden Horseshoe and I looked back in the audience behind me and saw someone that looked familiar. After the show was over I got the courage and walked up to him and asked him if he was on a soap opera "in a former life". He said yes, "In a former life and present life". Turned out it was Chris Robinson of General Hospital (Rick Webber) and he was currently on Bold & the Beautiful but I don't watch that show. He was very nice, but I didn't ask for a photo or autograph as he was with his family. Saw him a little later as we both were waiting for our families to get off Splash Mountain & chatted some more. Real nice guy!

I would have yelled "X" on the ride is my (son/wife) are you telling me on my ONLY trip to Disneyland I can't have my memories? *g* Sorry but celebrities are people not gods. They need us to earn their keep.
Originally Posted By Tiggirl <<Rode Midway Mania next to Christian Bale>> I'm still so jealous. LOL! And you passed up meeting me to ride "with" him. ;o) I'd have done the same! I've seen Gallager, Andy Dick and Teri Hatcher (not counting the celebrities at the 50th and whatnot). ~Beth
Originally Posted By LadyKluck On DH's first trip to DL we saw Whoopi Goldberg. We were headed back to our hotel one afternoon and she was there with literally a busload of kids. They were all standing in front of it (the bus) having their pictures taken. Not sure if they were on their way in or out but it was pretty cool to see a real famous person.
