I've been looking at a lot of stuff about Jack Benny tonight, and came across this page. Thought some of you might find it interesting.

A few years ago, I was waiting to get on Mr Toads Wild Ride and Molly Ringwald was a few feet behind in the line. Anyone have any other celebrity sightings?

I saw Michael Jackson in Tomorrowland one day, during the last weeks of Captain EO's operation. He was heading toward the theater surrounded by a phalanx of security, wearing a cloth covering his whole head. But it was obvious who it was.

We saw Bill Nye (the science guy) outside the Grand Californian one night a few years ago.

Uh, and when I was working main gate at Magic Mountain in 1988, Corey Feldman came through my line. :rolleyes:

Oh, and we saw Ron Jeremy at EPCOT a couple of years ago.

Watching the expressions of recognition from all the men, followed by the quick "oh, no one, why?" was pretty funny.

In August 2001, Aerosmith was at the park and spent a lot of money in the shops around New Orleans Square.

In December 2002, Eddie Murphy and his family were in DCA, We ran into them on Heimlich's Choo Choo Train.

On December 5 of this year, ABC was filming their annual Disneyland Christmas Special. Country music group Rascal Flatts and pop singer Jessica Simpson were performing for the show. We got to be in the audience. It was kinda fun, although hard for my 4 year old daughter, because they had to sing one song four times to get it right.

We met Ray Ramano in front of the Blue Bayou in 2001. He was chatting with a wedding party that had gotten off POTC before us and as he walked by Davis said "Hey Everybody loves Raymond!!" and went right up to him and shook his hand. Ray even stopped and said hi to me. I think he would have stayed a little bit but they came to take him to his table right then. Oh well!

It was very cool!!:fez:

Kobe Bryant was at the park on Saturday with his wife and kid. He was really cool to the CM's.

In Tomorrowland in the mid-1990s I saw the guy who played Steve Urkel on that TV show I don't remember the name of. He looked a lot taller in person. People were asking him for his autograph, so I knew it was him.

I saw one of the guys from Air Supply waiting to go into the Tiki Room at DL. Jamie Fox with 3 kids was eating at the Buzz Lightyear stage at the table next to me. At Universal Studios, ran into Joshua Morrow. I think that's everybody.

Danny Bonaduce was wandering around on Saturday morning through the lines of people waiting to get into DL, so we talked to him for a minute.

That's beautiful! He lives in the same building in Hollywood as a friend of mine. I had to be "indoctronated" into the RJ knowledge club. Funny, I always thought hedgehogs were cute!?:~D

During my short stint working Security at DL, I got to man the gate that all the celebs were coming into when the premiere for POTC showed.

I got to see Scott Bakula (he said Hi to me), Danny Bonaduce, Oscar de la Hoya's kids, Katie Segal ( I got to talk to her for a bit - she drove herself!), Michael Rosembaum, Geoffrey Rush, a few others...

Okay, me and my fiancee have seen many famous people in the last two years since I have gotten my pass.

Gary Busey-leaving DL with a cast member (just last week)
Kathy Ireland-around the Matterhorn
David Hasselhoff- Getting a Mint Julip
Snoop Dog-Walking in downtown Disney
Jada Pinket Smith & Kids- By It's A Small World

Also, we have seen various musicians that we couldn't place names to their faces. It's easy when you see a DL CM escorting someone around. And More that are not coming to mind right now...

For all you 49er fans out there. I believe when I was at the age of 8 or 9, I was surprised to see one of footballs "hall of famers," the great Joe Montana.

He was walking on Main St. with his family, trying to look inconsicuous with dark sunglasses. Surprisingly, no one rushed to him for an autograph... maybe the thought that he was just enjoying a day at DL made people reconsider.

(LT of the San Diego Chargers occassionaly drops by the donut shop I work at... atleast thats what the owner says???)

I saw Alex Rocco at the Taste Pilot Grill in DCA. He was doing publicity for Bug's Life (he does the voice of Thorny). He was by himself and he started talking to us. We were celebrating my son's Birthday and my mom & dad's Anniversary and Mr. Rocco noticed their 'sticker's' and wished them all all. We talked with him for a good 10 minutes before we went on our way. He was a really cool guy!

I also saw Danny Bonaduce last Saturday, in ToonTown with his daughter. Mark and Brian were there, too, but since we knew they would be there, they don't count. In June we saw Lisa Kudrow eating pizza at Redd Rockett's.

I saw Steve Young (former 49'r quarterback) on my last trip in August. It was a nice birthday surprise since I was always a huge fan. I wanted to get a pic, but I didn't want to bother him.

Also saw Kobe on the same trip.....

I can't say I ever noticed anyone else in all the years I've been going.
