Fort Wilderness Hidden Mickeys

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Recently, I stayed in a cabin at the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. The best way to research Hidden Mickeys is to stay in the middle of the magic! I like the cabins; they’re spacious and well-maintained, and you can park your car right in front of your cabin. Disney has been placing more and … Continue reading "Fort Wilderness Hidden Mickeys"

Hidden Mickeys – Trees and Animals

Posted on by Steve Barrett
The huge classic Mickey stand of trees (visible on Google Earth) has long fascinated me. My son Steven and I recently struck out in my car to find it from ground level. The posters on my Hidden Mickeys Guide website stated that the stand of trees was a few miles northwest of the Magic Kingdom, … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys – Trees and Animals"

An Early March Visit to Spaceship Earth

Posted on by Steve Barrett
The weather in central Florida has been a bit cool lately. I’ve worn my windbreaker several times this winter already, but this day in Epcot did not quite require a jacket. It was a short sleeves day. Early March is typically a great time to visit Walt Disney World, since the bulk of the Spring … Continue reading "An Early March Visit to Spaceship Earth"

My Son and I at WDW

Posted on by Steve Barrett
My son Steven first experienced Walt Disney World when he was 6 years old. That was my first trip to WDW as well. He was young enough for me to carry, and I have great memories of Steven perched around my neck or on my back as we explored the wonders of the Magic Kingdom. … Continue reading "My Son and I at WDW"

Typical Research Day – Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I thought I’d talk about what I do to verify Hidden Mickey sightings that folks send me. As many of you know, I like to use fairly stringent criteria for the “classic” (three-circle) Mickey. The highest order criterion is if an Imagineer or Disney artist tells me directly that he or she placed a Hidden … Continue reading "Typical Research Day – Animal Kingdom"

Fun with the Felty Family

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Last summer, at Fred Block’s Magic Meets in Pennsylvania, the Felty family won an auction item in Lou Mongello’s Dream Team Auction. The auction item was: time with me! Of course, I was honored. A few weeks ago, I met up with the Felty clan at Walt Disney World for an afternoon Hidden Mickey tour. … Continue reading "Fun with the Felty Family"

My Sister and I

Posted on by Steve Barrett
My sister, Donna McMurrey, visits WDW at least twice yearly. Her real job is Assistant Principal at a high school in Dallas, Texas, but she wants to eventually retire to a job at WDW as the character Timon! She enjoys Disney World as much as I do and helps me find Hidden Mickeys. Donna is … Continue reading "My Sister and I"
