Meeting Disney Friends and a Hidden Mickey Double Take

March 31, 2009 by Steve Barrett

I joined my sister Donna and a few friends recently at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Debbie and Randy are old friends of Donna’s, and they came to Disney World for a short visit with their grandson Charlie. Donna made her own travel plans without their knowledge and surprised them on their arrival day to Disney World! … Continue reading "Meeting Disney Friends and a Hidden Mickey Double Take"

Disney World with a First-Timer

March 10, 2009 by Steve Barrett

As Disney veterans know, it’s hard to imagine an experience more enjoyable than showing a Disney park to someone who’s never been. Especially if it’s a good friend! A few weeks ago, Nona, a friend of ours for many years, visited Orlando and Walt Disney World for the first time. My wife Vickie and I … Continue reading "Disney World with a First-Timer"

Notes from the Magic Kingdom

February 21, 2009 by Steve Barrett

I like to check out old favorite Hidden Mickeys, just to be sure they’re still around. (It gives me another reason to experience the Disney attractions!) In Splash Mountain, the fishing bobber classic Mickey is right where it supposed to be. The reclining Mickey near the end of Splash Mountain is brighter than ever. Thanks, … Continue reading "Notes from the Magic Kingdom"

California Grill and Pirates of the Caribbean

February 9, 2009 by Steve Barrett

One evening, I met Jim and Mark, two friends and neighbors of mine, at the California Grill Restaurant. It was their first time to dine there. We had reservations for 9 p.m. or so, but we arrived at opening (5:30 p.m.) in hopes of getting an earlier seating. It worked! After about 40 minutes, we … Continue reading "California Grill and Pirates of the Caribbean"

Looking for Mickey in the Magic Kingdom

January 24, 2009 by Steve Barrett

I was at WDW looking for Hidden Mickeys while thousands were running the Disney marathon and half marathon. I was fortunate to track down Lou Mongello at the Contemporary Resort, and we sampled the food at the new Contempo Cafe (where the Concourse Steakhouse used to be located). At this new eatery, you place your … Continue reading "Looking for Mickey in the Magic Kingdom"

December in the Magic Kingdom

January 6, 2009 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

December 24, 2008 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

December 4, 2008 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

November 13, 2008 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 Hidden Mickey Visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

November 2, 2008 by Steve Barrett

One recent sunny day, I drove to the Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out some old and new Hidden Mickeys. Keep in mind that over 30 Mickey images are hiding in and around this unique resort. I found a few cool new images, thanks to submitters to my website! I’d been looking for this terrific … Continue reading "A Hidden Mickey Visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge"
