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

Lost Hidden Mickeys at Hollywood Studios

Posted on 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"

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.

Notes from the Magic Kingdom

Posted on 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"
