Your best WDW Secret!!

[dec5girl]

Ok I just wanted to shout this out at the top of my lungs...

At the very last Pirate and Princess Party, the one on Labor Day, the Jack Sparrow in the parade.......was really Johnny Depp! And why couldn't it be? Everyone, myself included would never think it would be Johnny Depp...they would just think, "wow that's a really good Jack Sparrow impersonator"

I found this out from a cast member on my way to work yesterday. He works on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and I said to him, "Wow, you have such a good chance at meeting Johnny Depp" and he says, "I already did." and I said, "Omg when?" and he said, "Pirate and Princess Party." and I said, "Which one?" and he said, "the last one" and I said, "OMG I WAS THERE!" and he said, "yeah there was a lot of security...like, more than normal, so I asked my managers what all the security was for, and they said it was because Johnny Depp was in the parade"

It was really funny because I took a picture with Jack Sparrow and I thought, "he was good...but his face was a little fuller than Johnny Depp's." Then I saw the parade and I thought, "wow...that Jack Sparrow is REALLY good."

As a matter of fact, when the 2nd movie was coming out, and Disney added in the Pirate Crew Tutorial with Jack Sparrow in front of the ride, Johnny Depp asked if he could do it. His manager said no, his secuirty was like...helll no...and Disney management was like...sure why not? nobody will know it's you. So he did it for about a week, then passed it along to one of the current Jack Sparrow impersonators and Johnny told him himself, that he was a perfect Jack Sparrow....I found this out from one of my fellow cast members who is good friends with that Jack Sparrow.

here are pictures:

I am very interested in this. Does your CM friend know if he has done this any other times this summer? My husband has been sure that we saw him in July. We saw a couple Jack Sparrow characters, but there was one that was amazing.

Hi! I've been browsing this sight for a few days and found so much stuff interesting. I got my letter yesterday inviting me to participate as a Castmember for Spring Advantage 2008! I'm so excited because I haven't been to disney since I was 10 and now I get to work there! I'm definitely taking notes on cool things to do and look for. I hope I'm ready for everything!

In your opinion, whats the top 5 or 10 see or find Secrets?
I told the wife about Tinkerbell in the Castle gift shop, and I want to see the key under the mat at Muppets, I was hoping for a few more ideas....

Thanks

I have just finished reading all the pages on this link!!! I can't believe how much stuff I have missed in the parks, Thanks all of you I am not going again until may 2009 but by the time we go I will hopefully be a walking disney encyclopedia!! I can't believe I have found a site where there are so many people like me

I think he lives in France most of the time where his girlfriend is from. Allegedly, he goes about unimpeded there, whereas here there is a paparazzi firestorm if he takes a deep breath. He is too hot; I hope one of ya'll ,who had a close encounter, got pictures and posts them for the rest of us to see.
