In August 2011, Anaheim convention center hosted D23 Expo an Ultimate Disney fan experience. We spent most of the time meeting stars of Disney Shows and getting autographs, pictures and videos.
We weren’t able to go on Friday because school had already started.
On Friday the casts of:
So Random
Lemonade Mouth
Good Luck Charlie
On Saturday, the casts of
Phineas and Ferb
Fish Hooks
ANT Farm
attended
and on Sunday
Handy Manny
Pair of Kings
Shake it Up
were there.
We waited in long lines and hung out with other fans and friends. In between autograph sessions we walked around and saw exhibits, collectibles, artists, and new products.
When each cast was on, they were introduced and sat down to sign autographs. They didn’t let us take pictures because they wanted the line to keep moving. Each time the cast was signing, workers passed out cool souvenirs for each show. We took video and met some of them while they were waiting to do press.
It was a fun crazy 2 days!

On August 25th, we woke up early to meet Demi Lovato at a meet and greet in Santa Monica. I’ve met her before but it was at a signing. So after waiting 8 hours I had an autograph but no picture. This time she promised to take pictures with fans.
The first 10 people got to meet Demi, get a signed picture and a free HTC Status phone. Those 10 people actually camped out on the sidewalk the night before.
We got there about &am and were about 50th in line. She wasn’t coming until 3 but you never know with these kids of events. ALWAYS GO AS EARLY AS YOU CAN! We had fun with Twiiter friends and making new friemds and as long as you let people in line know you were coming back you could take breaks to eat, walk around and stuff. By about 11:00, there were 200 people there. At about 1 they passed out 200 wristbands. They also passed out mints, water and tattoos of a heart. There were many more people there and they were told to wait and see.
At 3 Demi arrived through the back of the store. There were lots of flashes flashing as invited press took pictures.
The first 10 people got green wristband and were taken in as a group first. They got pictures autographs and their phones.
Then the rest of us were taken in 10 at a time.
When we went in my mom took video of the people ahead of us meeting Demi. Then it was my turn,
I felt so happy I felt like crying and couldn’t really talk. She said, “How are you?” “What’s you name?” Are you having a good day?” Then she said, “Are you ready for our picture?” Then she said, “Thanks for coming?”
The the picture printed out.
After the first 200 people with wristbands were just about done, someone came out and passed out 25 more but it was 1 per group so more people got to get pics and meet her. There were still about 200 that didn’t get in and either left earlier or realized then that they weren’t going to see her.
It was a really awesome day!!
I’m so glad Demi is doing so well! She performed at Perez Hilton’s VMA pre party , the VMA’s and sold out her LA and NY concert in minutes!
I can’t wait to see her at her concert on September 23!

On August 7, 2011 The Teen Choice Awards were filmed at the Gibson Ampitheater in Universal City, California. We didn’t go in this year. The last two years we did buy tickets and watch the show but it’s easier to meet people outside on the way to after parties. WE arrived at City Walk and as celebs were going into one after party a few stopped
We were able to take pics with:
Joey King
Kyle Massey
Chris Massey
Shayne Topp
We saw
Anna Sophia Robb
Quinton Aaron
Noah Munch
Gage Golightly
Stefanie Scott
Jason Derulo
but they didn’t stop for pics..
We then went to an After Party in Hollywood some friends told us about.. It was called Rolling Stones.
Celebs were walking the red carpet, going in and going out. We bought tickets but had more fun outside. Inside was dark, crowded and people were drinking and dancing.
We were able to meet and get pics with a lot of people there.
Michael Copon
Danielle Campbell
Taylor Spreitler
Jared Andrew
Daniel Samonas
Kyle Massey
Chris Massey
Ariel Winter
Callan McAuliffe
Drew Seeley
Vik Sahey
Christian Beadles
Ryan Beatty
Patrick Gallagher
Savannah Jayde
Kelli Goss
Kenton Duty
Roshon Fegan
David Cade
Dylan Snyder
It was really fun. There were tons of other celebrities there.. even Mark Sallig but it was hard to meet everybody. The ones I saw were really sweet! Kenton and Roshon are always nice to me. Kyle and Chris kept going back and forth and took pics with tons of fans. I was really happy to meet some celebs I’ve never met before.
Callan was in Flipped and I am Number Four. Vik was in The Roxy Hunter: Secret of the Shaman.
Daniel was Dean on Wizards of Waverly Place. Savannah and Kelli play 2 of the 3 Jennifers on Big Time Rush. Patrick was a coach on Glee.
David Cade played Jett Stetson on Big Time Rush. Drew Seeley was in Another Cinderella Story and Freshman Father. I love meeting new celebs and getting to know them and it’s really cool seeing celebs I know. They know my name and are so sweet to me and my mom. Some people who knew me from Twitter said hi took pics with me. That was cool! Four people from the cast of Prom came Danielle, Jared, Nolan and Yin. I really wanted to meet all 4 but Yin and Nolan left and we somehow missed them. I hope I meet them another day. When Jared and Danielle left they took pics with a few other fans and and me on the red carpet. I think that was super cool and sweet!!
I had a great summer night!!

On August 3, 2011, The El Capitan hosted the Premiere for a Phineas and Ferb movie. Lots of Disney stars came out to talk to the press about their shows, meet fans, and watch the movie. Radio Disney was there and gave out tons of prizes: T-Shirts, band aids, stickers, tattoos, and fruit gummies. We like to hang out by the check in tents which USUALLY works out BUT this time almost ALL the stars were taken by car straight to the red carpet. So we really didn’t meet too many stars BUT it was still fun and we saw:
Madison De La Garza
Roshon Fegan
Davis Cleveland
Rowan Blanchard
Mason Cook
Vincent Martella (Phineas)
Alyson Stoner (Isabella)
Tucker Albrizzi
Matthew Montgomery
Audrey Whitby
Bella Thorne
Zendaya
Ernie D from Radio Disney
John Barry Colton writer
Premieres are a fun, free way to meet stars but you never know who you will meet. 1000′s of fans are trying to meet the celebs too. IF you want to try:
1. Go early like 2-3 hours early. Wait as close to the carpet as possible.
2. bring a sharpie or marker and things to get signed.
3. have a camera with charged or extra batteries.
4 know the celebs real names.. not just character names,
5 be quick (Have paper pen and camera ready) so they can meet as many fans as possible and thank them.
I hope you liked this blog!! My mom and I love writing them together.

I get asked the same questions often I’d say the top 10 questions are:
1. How many people have you met?
over 300
2. How do you meet so many stars? Most people guess my parents are in the business, the we are rich or that I’m an actress. I promise we are all very ordinary!!
We just go to events like premieres, tapings, meet and greets, signings and concerts.
3. Can you help me meet celebs too?
Here is a video that I made to help others meet celebs?
4. Who’s the nicest celeb you have met?
Most celebs are friendly and love to meet fans. If you respect them and don’t interrupt private times they don’t mind a quick pic or autograph. If you see a celeb in a private place like a store or restaurant, it’s important to not make a big deal.. quietly say hi so you don’t start a mob and security issue…
Selena Gomez. Bella Thorne, Zendaya Coleman, Caroline Sunshine are just extra sweet!!
5. Do the celebs recognize you?
YES! It’s very sweet! Many know my name and say hi!
6. Who have I not met that I want to meet?
Miley, Nick , Kevin, Brenda Song, Taylor Swift, DAniel Curtis Lee,
The Twilight and Harry Potter casts.
7. Have you met Justin Bieber, Selena, Greyson, Cody and Demi ?
Yes, I have. I have a blog for each person, just use the Search Bar.
8. Can you DM a celeb, help me get famous, send me an extra autograph or give me a shout out, or bust this poser?
I have Twitter for fun and to support celebrities. I’ve never asked a celeb for a follow (unless it was a contest).
I believe celebs should follow who they want, when they want.
I don’t have extra autographs but I wrote a blog for you to get your own. Just type fanmail addresses in the search bar.
I can’t do shout outs when followers ask because if I do it for one I have to do it for everybody. My timeline would be full of me asking for follows for people I don’t even know well. (I can RT a tweet like I just want 5 more followers to get 100 or a birthday shout out)
I don’t expose every poser out there again that’s all I’d do every day.
If I see my followers getting tricked or if a many people ask about the person. I will. I’d rather you check my blog of REAL Twitter names by show. Again use the search bar to find it.
9. Why do you unfollow/block people ?
I’m only 8. My mom let’s me have twitter but monitors it. If someone cusses really bad, writes hate tweets, follows hate accounts or spams celebs she will unfollow you and I won’t even know. If you don’t tweet for awhile, like a month, we’ll
Unfollow too.
Many people on Twitter are weird or have problems. Lots of people are jealous. I get people saying I’m bragging. Some people cuss at me. Some threaten me. Some pose as me then cuss at me and other people. Those people we block.
10. How did you get so smart for an 8 yr old?
My mom is a teacher so I read and wrote early. We’ve met tons of celebs and gone to all kinds of events. We hear a lot of info and talk about stuff. Then we tweet what we think is important.
11. Do you go to school or are you homeschooled.
I go to regular school. My mom’s a teacher so we actually are at the same school.
12. Aren’t you just using Twitter to brag?
Well, meeting celebs is my job and hobby. It’s in my bio so I’ll be talking about it. Everybody talks about their hobby here. If people don’t like it they can unfollow.
13. Do you have fan mail or make fan calls?
I’m just a regular kid. No I don’t have fan mail address or do fan calls.
14. Do you have FaceBook?
My FB is for family.
15. Do you have a real life? Do you just meet celebrities all day?
I’m a girl scout, active in my school’s arts and drama. I love my family and friends.
16. How did all this start for you?
Living in LA I just ran into a couple of celebrities. I met Miranda Cosgrove when I was 5 on the sidewalk in Burbank. Then I met a bunch at D23 EXPO and Mitchel Musso’ s concert. Then I was HOOKED.
OK I hope you enjoyed that now I’ll list who I’ve met by show, category,
Prankstars is a new Disney show hosted by Mitchel Musso. The first episode had 3 kids get pranked by Debby Ryan, Mitchel Musso and Selena Gomez.
I wasn’t sure if the show was real or not.. it looks a little fake but here’s what I found out!!
There was a casting call where parents had to email the company kids auditioned for what they thought was a talk show and some kids were called back to be pranked.
I’m too young to be on the show Prankstars but maybe you can be on it. I’m not positive this is the casting call for Pranstars but what do you think?!?!
MOM/DAD is your KID a diehard fan of one of the following celebrities:
ALL-STAR WEEKEND, RAVEN SYMONE, CODY SIMPSON, ZENDAYA, JASON EARLES, BRIDGIT MENDLER or
ASHLEY TISDALE?
Is your child a bigger fan than all the kids in your neighborhood?
If this sounds like your kid, then we want to hear from you!
We are casting for a kid’s talk show where kids will get to talk about their favorite celebrity and why they are such big fans. We are looking for 13 to 16 year old true super fans with great personalities. If your child would love the chance to tell us why they are the biggest fan, then we want to hear from you!
