Hi there, I”m Steve Barrett, the Hidden Mickey Guy! When I have a large number of Hidden Mickey sightings to verify or photograph at WDW, I tend to go it alone and motor around at top speed. Talk about aerobic exercise, especially in the summer! But I have more fun when a friend or family … Continue reading "Hidden Mickey Guy"
I’m often asked “What is your favorite resort?”, which is actually a difficult question to answer — much like “What is your favorite restaurant?” is a difficult to answer. My experience with just about anything Disney is that it’s not just the resort or meal itself, but also the ambience, the cast members, the themeing, … Continue reading "Resort Reflections – Animal Kingdom Lodge Part 1"
Anyone thinking about participating in a Walt Disney World sponsored race should be aware of the pace requirements for that race. For the 2008 WDW Half-Marathon the pace requirements call for a 16-minute/mile pace, plus 10 minutes to let all the participants cross the start line. It’s a bit more complicated than just that.

It just so happens that Lee and I will be in Florida then, on our bi-annual Food and Wine … Continue reading "Taking the Scopa Challenge"
Whew…the Finding Nemo event was a whirlwind – it’s hard to believe I was only away from home for a total of 30 hours – it sure seemed a lot longer than that! Opening Day yesterday (Monday) was quite an experience and I was excited to be part of it. Even first thing in the … Continue reading "The Subs are Back!"
Once you decide to take up a running program you need to focus on a couple of things, most importantly your running gear. Of course the prime focus should be on comfort. That means comfortable running shoes, shorts/pants, and a top that wicks the moisture away from your body. Can’t forget the socks. Comfort rules. … Continue reading "Friend or Foe?"
All good things must come to an end and this cruise is no exception. We got off the ship on Wednesday morning after our 8am breakfast seating. There was a great deal of confusion outside the terminal in terms of what bus would take us to the Disney-reserved hotel.
