My wife and I saw him getting off Maliboomer, and later that evening we were crossing the bridge by what was then Ariel's and saw him and his family (?) coming right towards us. I passed within 4 feet or so of him. What struck me most was how short he is. I'm only 5'10", and he was at least 4 or 5 inches shorter than me it seemed. So, other than seeing celebrities performing and such in the parks, he's been the only one I've seen.

He was just standing on main street and had a lady with him. another trip we saw the back of Danny Bonaduce walking through the crowd with his own mob!

Afterwards, from some things she and her family said, I figured out that I'd been chatting with Melanie Griffith. No wonder she looked familiar. I've also waited on Robin Williams and his family. I was dealing with his wife and kids, and didn't really notice "Dad", who was hanging back silently. Then he said something mundane, like, "So, what are we getting?" and I just about fainted. In person, with ordinary clothes and his family around him and no make-up or movie lighting, he looked like anybody else, but That Voice is unmistakable!
Originally Posted By 1Gee1 I think the fun "sightings" are the unexpected ones when the celebrities are "guests," trying to enjoy themselves with their families or friends...instead of when you see them because they're scheduled to appear there for an event or something. I was in the pirate store once when Nicholas Cage stopped by on his way out of Club 33. A boy (his son?) was buying "jewels" from the pirates chest. Another time, I went to ride Splash Mtn. on a day when not many people were at the park; I happened to fall into line right behind Mario Lopez and three of his friends. He was really friendly. One rainy day, I bought a poncho for my kids at the same time that Ricky Lake did (what ever happened to her?). Some time ago, while walking past Big Thunder, we passed Vlade Divac who was with the Lakers at the time. At over 7 feet in height, he really stood out in the crowd!

I felt really bad for her. She's obviously fallen on hard times if she's spending the day at DCA instead of over at DL! Maybe she was reliving her glory days by strollingthrough the Hollywood Pictures Backlot?

Not so good, eh?

Originally Posted By ChurroMonster I believe the actor's name is Julian McMahon and he is indeed a good looking man. And I DO swing that way haha!
Originally Posted By thenurmis we were lucky enough to "have lunch" with Robin Williams when we visited Club 33, I saw Cindy Crawford on Main street on the 4th of July once, There was a walk by Mr Roy Disney, my son Richard saw Tommy Lee at DCA and we saw Richard Kind in the line at Star tours playing with two small children. There have been a lot more "isn't that ..." but the ones above have only been the ones for sure.
