Tag: Hidden Mickeys
Disney hosted an “open house” recently at the Wedding Pavilion next to the Grand Floridian Resort. Inside the Pavilion, I enjoyed a question and answer session with Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons staff. They told us some interesting stories about their Disney ceremonies. For example, imagine a wedding reception (after park hours) inside The … Continue reading "Disney’s Fairy Tale Wedding Pavilion – Hidden Mickeys"
A Day at Aloha Isle and Epcot

Wilson had alerted me to an image on the right side of the rear wall mural inside Via Napoli. It’s a wisp … Continue reading "A Day at Aloha Isle and Epcot"

Pixie Hollow Magic Kingdom Hidden Mickeys
Posted onI checked out a few Hidden Mickey sightings at Pixie Hollow inside the Toontown Hall of Fame Tent, Mickey’s Toontown Fair. A feeling of nostalgia was part of my motivation for returning to Pixie Hollow, since this colorful area may disappear with the ambitious Fantasyland renovation, although I hope some of these Hidden Mickeys are … Continue reading "Pixie Hollow Magic Kingdom Hidden Mickeys"
D Street Hidden Mickeys
Posted onAs you probably know, new venues at any Disney property will likely harbor new Hidden Mickeys. The D Street store at WDW Downtown Disney West Side is no exception. I stopped inside to speak with Cast Members about Hidden Characters in their store, and they were most accommodating. One classic (three-circle) Mickey image that is … Continue reading "D Street Hidden Mickeys"
Magic Kingdom Resort Hidden Mickeys
Posted onI visited the Magic Kingdom monorail resorts one afternoon to look for Hidden Mickeys. Disney characters hide in the marble floor around the Grand Floridian lobby. (Baseer Muqri informed me that Mickey and Minnie are also in the marble floor at the entrance to 1900 Park Fare restaurant). Here’s Mickey near the lobby entrance doors. … Continue reading "Magic Kingdom Resort Hidden Mickeys"
New Walt Disney World Experiences
Posted onVickie and I visited Animal Kingdom Lodge recently to check out a new (to me) potential Hidden Mickey sighting (from Jack Koss, and Cindy).

Go to the walkway leading to the pool directly opposite the rear exit door from the … Continue reading "New Walt Disney World Experiences"

Disney Pic of the Week – Hidden Mickeys
Posted onFunny that I should be the one to introduce this week’s Pic of the Week topic, Hidden Mickeys. I am the world’s worst hidden Mickey locator. I get really excited when I find some of the most obvious ones there are, like the plates on the shop door in Morocco and the hubcaps in Mickey’s … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Hidden Mickeys"
More from Japan (Epcot)
Posted onVickie and I experimented with a dining option. We’d tried it before at Citricos in the Grand Floridian, and it worked. We were told over the phone that no reservations were available at Citricos for the time we wanted, so we chanced a walk-up request and were seated within a few minutes! So this day, … Continue reading "More from Japan (Epcot)"
