Questionable Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World

Posted on by Steve Barrett
In Disney parks everywhere, new attractions bring new images to ponder, and fresh images pop up sometimes in established areas. Or maybe no one has spotted them before? Remember, Disney usually doesn’t notify us when new Hidden Mickeys are created. In Epcot’s Norway, consider the following two images.

For instance, upon leaving the Frozen Ever After ride and entering Puffin’s Roost shop in Epcot’s World Showcase Norway … Continue reading "Shopping Around Epcot’s World Showcase"

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Thursday – Bergen Lee followed Commodore Tom’s advice and got up at 6:00 to go up on deck, but I stayed in bed for another half hour. After that I put on shoes and a jacket and went out on the verandah. I’m afraid the sail-in to Bergen didn’t appear that special to me. Nothing … Continue reading "Norway Cruise 2015 – Part 7, Bergen"
