December in the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Central Florida has enjoyed glorious weather most of this December, so I looked forward to my several days of holiday Hidden Mickeys research. In fact, on a comfortable, sunny Florida day at Walt Disney World, I’m easily distracted and often forget the purpose of my visit! Craig Canady, Alan, and Bill Griffin sent me Hidden … Continue reading "December in the Magic Kingdom"

MouseFest, 2008 Hidden Mickeys

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I had a great time meeting up with the rest of the All Ears team at the Gaylord Palms Resort on Friday evening of MouseFest. This was a perfect venue for dinner and mingling. After dinner, those of us from the south donned parkas (the Northerners would have been comfortable in swimsuits!) to walk through … Continue reading "MouseFest, 2008 Hidden Mickeys"

Thanksgiving Week at WDW

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I had the pleasure of spending time at WDW with family and friends during Thanksgiving week. We enjoyed a few of the Christmas decorations in the parks and resorts; more and more of them appear as the week unfolds. Most of the decked out Christmas trees and elaborate gingerbread displays have decorative and hidden Mickeys. … Continue reading "Thanksgiving Week at WDW"

A Visit to The Oasis in Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I enjoy visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Some folks don’t consider that this park has a full day’s worth of activities, but I beg to differ. The Animal Kingdom has plenty to offer, especially if you can slow down and observe the animals after first enjoying the headliner attractions. I like to spend time in The … Continue reading "A Visit to The Oasis in Animal Kingdom"

A Visit to the Food & Wine Festival

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I enjoy the music of the Epcot Festivals, so I visit whenever I can to hear great musicians from the (recent) past. I had the opportunity to catch a performance by David Sanborn, a well-known jazz saxophonist. The America Gardens Theatre was already full of jazz fans when I arrived. After his first few sax … Continue reading "A Visit to the Food & Wine Festival"

Cinderella’s Royal Suite Hidden Mickeys

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I was fortunate to able to join a tour of the special suite in Cinderella Castle, Magic Kingdom. (Actually, Deb Wills had toured the suite before, so she kindly offered me her spot! Very cool!) We entered an anteroom through a door at the side of the walkway through the Castle. An elevator took us … Continue reading "Cinderella’s Royal Suite Hidden Mickeys"

I just returned from a 5-day cruise on the Disney Magic. Deb Wills and I were the hosts for our group. On the second day, I gave an introductory talk on Hidden Mickeys in the Buena Vista Theater. I encouraged everyone to search the ship for Hidden Mickeys. The next three days, I led 5 … Continue reading "Hunting Mickey on the Disney Magic Cruise Ship"

Visiting BoardWalk and Lights Motors Action!

Posted on by Steve Barrett
My wife Vickie and I strolled around the BoardWalk area recently on a warm Florida afternoon. Inside the BoardWalk Bakery, I ordered an espresso and Vickie a bottled water. I’d spotted two Mickey images in the past, on two aprons hanging on the right wall, and they’re still in place. Vickie thinks they’re more like … Continue reading "Visiting BoardWalk and Lights Motors Action!"
