Good News for Straw Lovers

Posted on by Jack Spence
When the Animal Kingdom opened, Disney banned plastic straws from the park. They didn’t want to take a chance that one of these potential hazards might find its way into an animal enclosure. Last month, Disney modified this policy. It is now possible to get a straw at the Animal Kingdom, but instead of plastic, … Continue reading "Good News for Straw Lovers"

Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/55-200, 1/500s shutter, f4.4 One thing I love about taking photos of the parades at Disney World is that the Cast Members love to mug for the camera.

Windows on the second floor are clearly visible and I’m hoping this will be seating for either the full service or the counter service restaurants. The building site is starting … Continue reading "Yak & Yeti Restaurant"

Eat to the Beat – Canada Hidden Mickeys

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Last week, I visited Epcot with a friend and neighbor of mine, Lew Brooks. Lew often helps me find and verify Hidden Mickey sightings. You might remember him from my Hidden Mickeys books. He coined the term “two-beer Mickey” to describe an image that is really wishful thinking and only begins to look like Mickey … Continue reading "Eat to the Beat – Canada Hidden Mickeys"
