Soaring High at Downtown Disney and new Hidden Images

October 14, 2011 by Steve Barrett

One afternoon, Vickie and I had lunch at Paradiso 37 at Pleasure Island. The chips and salsa were fresh, and the Mexican dishes were decent (I had chicken enchiladas with verde sauce). The overhead music was interesting – a combination of current pop music and country songs. I’m not normally a country music fan, but … Continue reading "Soaring High at Downtown Disney and new Hidden Images"

October 2, 2011 by Steve Barrett

Vickie and I had lunch at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We like to cool off inside this restaurant on a warm day. While watching the cartoons and movie clips, I took photos of Tinker Bell and Mickey and the classic Hidden Mickey on the youngster’s spacesuit; it’s formed by a circle … Continue reading "A Day at the Studios and Epcot with HM’s and first-time visitors from Canada"

September 15, 2011 by Steve Barrett

Vickie and I visited the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Pioneer Hall in Disney’s Fort Wilderness to enjoy the food and entertainment. Before the show, we acknowledged Davy Crockett inside Crockett’s Tavern. I photographed some of the lyrics of “The Ballad of Davy Crockett” posted on the wall. You can’t read these lines without singing! We … Continue reading "An Evening at Hoop-Dee-Doo"

Star Tours Hidden Mickeys

May 30, 2011 by Steve Barrett

The retooled Star Tours attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios represents a spectacular leap in the technology of simulator experiences. For many years, I enjoyed the original Star Tours, in which you’d fly the same harrowing, out-of-control route to the Moon of Endor. The refurbished attraction provides over 50 random combinations of journeys throughout the Star … Continue reading "Star Tours Hidden Mickeys"
