Kouzzina and Grand Floridian Hidden Mickeys

August 24, 2009 by Steve Barrett

My wife Vickie and I recently checked out the new Kouzzina restaurant for Hidden Mickeys. All of the previous HM’s at Spoodles have been removed, except one! A smiling Mickey still peeks out from an upper recessed light in the waiting area. Vickie and I found a classic Mickey made of plates in the waiting … Continue reading "Kouzzina and Grand Floridian Hidden Mickeys"

Dinner at Boma

August 13, 2009 by Steve Barrett

My sister Donna visited WDW recently. We first took in the sights and sounds of the BoardWalk area in late afternoon. The Florida heat had diminished only slightly, so we walked leisurely. Folks were pedaling surrey bikes around Crescent Lake, a real workout on a hot day, to be sure! Donna rested for a few … Continue reading "Dinner at Boma"

Lou recently redesigned his website and is … Continue reading "A Sunday at the Magic Kingdom"

I just finished updating the Disneyland Hidden Mickeys book, so now we’re involved with proofing and readying the book for the printer. I want to mention several more compelling Hidden Mickey images at Disneyland. This classic Mickey image in the cement may be relatively new. In California Adventure’s Sunshine Plaza, face away from the Sun … Continue reading "Hello from Disneyland II"

Occasionally, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by friends from long ago. Judy, a past college friend of my wife and mine, recently journeyed to central Florida.

Lost Hidden Mickeys at Hollywood Studios

May 26, 2009 by Steve Barrett

Recently, I was reminded that Hidden Mickey images, even some really good ones, may disappear. When areas are refurbished, Disney can decide to remove perfectly decent Hidden Mickeys. I was searching out Hidden Mickeys at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and discovered that several were gone. When the Block Party Bash revved up last year, Hidden Mickeys … Continue reading "Lost Hidden Mickeys at Hollywood Studios"

Hello from Disneyland – Hidden Mickeys

May 22, 2009 by Steve Barrett

I visited Disneyland, California recently to look for Hidden Mickeys and update the Disneyland Hidden Mickeys book. I stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel on property. The Disneyland area is all connected, and I like the ability to walk everywhere on property: Disneyland, California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the on-property hotels. Brian Bergstrom wrote to … Continue reading "Hello from Disneyland – Hidden Mickeys"

Spring Training and More

April 7, 2009 by Steve Barrett

My son Steven and I acquired tickets to one of the last 2009 Spring Training games of the Atlanta Braves. The Saturday game at Disney’s Wide World of Sports was sold out because the New York Yankees were in town! In fact, we had to park offsite since the main parking lot filled quickly. I … Continue reading "Spring Training and More"
