Re: Celebrities in the Parks
I was flying back from Arkansas and was on the puddle jumper with the cast of Barney. The guy who wore the Barney suit was so full of himself, but he chatted with me when I told him my batboy for my high school baseball team was on the show. He remembered him so he was cool with me. I found it odd that he never said the name Barney, when I asked what he did, he said he said he was the purple one. The two little people that played the other two characters were hilarious. On the flight (not full at all) they were jumping over seats and chasing each other in the aisle. It was a bit like watching Chip and Dale play, but these were like 20-something year old dwarfs :)

After the plane was loaded he did take up half the aisle.BRWombat wrote:I'm not surprised, given his size. In fact, when I first read your second sentence here, I thought you meant he was actually seated ON the aisle! (He was the Brute Squad, after all!)
Didn't the Brute Squad work for Count Rugan who did all the weasel work for Prince Humperdinck?

Your answer is yes, until Andre defected to the side of the Dread Pirate Roberts with Inigo Montoya.hobie16 wrote:After the plane was loaded he did take up half the aisle.

I once was at a Children's Museum that had a display with larger than life things, including a toothbrush. One of the docents called it "Andre The Giant's Toothbrush."
One day I was at the Plaza Inn Birthday Parties, and some famous person was in the park from Mexico- some sort of singer with his daughter and a few other friends and family. They had a Plaid, and a camera crew filming the party for Hispanic TV news or something

When I was teaching all over the world, I got enough miles with AA to make platinum status which meant they'd upgrade me to first class a lot.ktulu wrote:I was flying back from Arkansas and was on the puddle jumper with the cast of Barney.
I had boarded a flight and was sitting in the second row. A guy came on board with a large bag. He sat in the first row aisle seat and put the bag in the window seat. The two F/As seeing this, came over and told him the bag had to go into the overhead or be checked. He whipped out a second first class ticket for the bag. It turned out the bag held Big Bird who was on his way to a public appearance.

That is just about the most awesome thing I have heard!

The biggest stars I ever have seen in the parks were the Mouse and his Girlfriend. Mickey sure is looking great for his age these days too. :D:

Yep, they filmed in Dallas. I used to be in a Bible study class with the guy who played Baby Bop. Nice guy.ktulu wrote:I was flying back from Arkansas and was on the puddle jumper with the cast of Barney.

My friend at the Baby Center says that Johnny Depp comes all the time. But of course he's on super VIP treatment, considering his face is permanently in the park.
Legend: Alligators dwell in the sewers beneath Disneyland.
Truth: There are no sewers below Disneyland, and therefore no alligators in them. The secret tunnels are infested with mutant rats, however.
