Dinner with Disney Friends

November 25, 2007 by Steve Barrett

If you live in central Florida as I do, you know that not all of the local denizens are enamored of Walt Disney World. That fact continues to surprise me, of course. Thankfully, many locals, including a large sample of my neighbors, enjoy WDW as much as I do. So when I meet up with … Continue reading "Dinner with Disney Friends"

Eat to the Beat – Canada Hidden Mickeys

October 23, 2007 by Steve Barrett

Last week, I visited Epcot with a friend and neighbor of mine, Lew Brooks. Lew often helps me find and verify Hidden Mickey sightings. You might remember him from my Hidden Mickeys books. He coined the term “two-beer Mickey” to describe an image that is really wishful thinking and only begins to look like Mickey … Continue reading "Eat to the Beat – Canada Hidden Mickeys"

Beci’s Birthday on the water

September 29, 2007 by Steve Barrett

What’s more fun at Disney than a birthday party? Well, maybe staying in the Cinderella Castle Suite? No, Beci’s Birthday Party had to be even more fun. Recently, my wife Vickie and I were honored to be invited to a surprise birthday party for Beci Mahnken. Many of you know her as the head cheese … Continue reading "Beci’s Birthday on the water"

September 1, 2007 by Steve Barrett

I wish to let you know about a couple of Hidden Mickeys that I’ve been searching for (for years!). Thanks to great photography and better eyes than mine, I can describe them to you. The first one is in the last scene of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress in the Magic Kingdom. Other people have … Continue reading "Carousel of Progress and Sci-Fi Dine-In: Hard to Find Hidden Mickeys"

Great Movie Ride Hard-to-Find Hidden Mickeys

August 16, 2007 by Steve Barrett

I revel in hard-to-find Hidden Mickeys. Some of these Hidden Mickeys have evaded me, or maybe they’re “off the beaten path” (off stage or behind the scenes). I’m especially interested in the elusive ones, but I listen to Cast Members who whisper to me about the off stage ones (sometimes these are visible only to … Continue reading "Great Movie Ride Hard-to-Find Hidden Mickeys"

Hidden Mickeys – Old, Yet New to Me!

July 26, 2007 by Steve Barrett

A few days ago, I was roaming around Disney-MGM Studios with a friend: Bill Iadonisi, a columnist for www.MickeyNews.com. We were checking out a few Hidden Mickey sightings that folks had posted to my website. When I’m at WDW alone doing research, I usually move around at a fast pace. I have a thick group … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys – Old, Yet New to Me!"
