"Matt." I was very pleased with myself... *LOL* Except that I wished I'd realized sooner EXACTLY who he was. I would have loved to have just said - enthusiastically, with a wave, "HI MATT!"

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Very cool, DlandJB... I felt that he would have, too. Matt just had that kind of look and "feel" around him - nice and personable. Opportunity missed... :-(
Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid My dad worked on the last stamp unveiling at Disneyland so I got to go. Matt was there and they introduced me to him and I froze up!! All I could get out was a small quiet "hi". 4 year drama student and I got stage fright over that? ::shakes head down in shame::

Originally Posted By LPFan22 ~~~ I would have followed ~~~ The thought crossed my mind but... well, ya know, lol. I love spotting Disney and other celebrities at DL. Just last Friday (2/29) we spotted Weird Al on Main Street. He appeared to be happy and I heard him say "I don't care, I'm at Disneyland!" It was a great moment.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Awwwww! Weird Al! I LOVE Weird Al!! I'm pretty sure I saw Carnie Wilson a couple of years ago near Pirates. She was wearing sunglasses, so it's a little bit "iffy," but I'm almost certain. It was another of those "I know you know" moments and she smiled at me - I smiled back and that was that. I'd probably faint if I ever ran across Harrison Ford. *L* But it's neat that he's there so often.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I was there at the same time as Harrison Ford (and Calista Flockheart and child) in the fall, while he was doing a small photo shoot in the Indy queue. I didn't actually get to see them, but a friend who was over there called to let us know they were there. Pretty cool, and I wonder where those pictures are now, since it would make great publicity and cross promotion with the new film coming out...

Lunchtime, tons of people, and tons of traffic. People were waiting for the light to change to cross the street. And so standing still temporarily (and looking like he hated standing still) was Morley Safer. People were looking at him like "is that Morley Safer?" And he had this expression and this body language that was just extraordinary. It said: "Yes, I'm Morley Safer. No, I don't want to talk to you. If you try to talk to me, you won't like what happens next." I swear, he could have had a sign on him saying all that, because the vibe was unmistakable.
