One of my favorite things to do is discover the hidden Mickey's at a Disney park.   Do you see what I see?   Not so hidden is it! Sharing with Shadow Shot Sunday2 My Sunday Photo

They are everywhere!!  You won't see this hidden Mickey until you look for it. One of the fun thing for a family to do when at Disney World is search their surroundings for Hidden Mickeys. They are everywhere and even small children can find them. Some have even written books on where they are located. New hidden Mickeys are always being added to new places as Disney evolves and changes daily. A hidden Mickey can be any kind of Mickey, but mostly are the silhouette of the mouse himself. This one is certainly hard to see until you SEE it!   At the Animal Kingdom Lodge one of the free games you can play is finding specific Hidden Mickeys. It's like a scavenger hunt. The front desk will provide you with a paper with all the clues.  You do not need to be a guest at the Lodge, any visitor can request this game. Easy peasy but only because I zero'd in on it! Each is written as a riddle so you must solve the riddle first to find the place a...

Disney offers wonderful tours of all three restaurants to anyone who is visiting Animal Kingdom Lodge or who are staying there. There is no registration and no need to call ahead for a reservation.   Just gather here in the lobby of the Boma Restaurant here on the first floor.  Tours are given daily at 3:45 I recommend a mid week tour as the group tends to be smaller.               The fabric overhead in the photo above, is African. It represents the cloth used for different tribes. Behind the colorful pole is a replica of Victoria Falls. Be sure to have a quarter handy to toss in, all change is collected  and donated to African children.  Each item is carefully chosen to represent Africa, like the clay pot pillars and shingled roofs Here the ceiling is a replica of the design of the huts in African villages and  lights that represent the spectacular sunrises and sunsets ...

It was a surprise to walk through Disney World's Magic Kingdom and find a whole new section.  It wasn't as if I hadn't been in years.  I spent four days there in July!  We only took one day for the Magic Kingdom and somehow I missed this simply by taking a right instead of a left on a pathway.  I take my time and hit all rides in my path as I trundle around from one land to another.  Had I taken the left I would have immediately turned a corner and been there after alighting from the train in Frontierland.   The entrance to Storybook Circus.   It's not completely open yet, the bright red fence is to hide construction going on and to keep out park guests until the area is open. The Barnstormer is open and ready!   The Barnstormer kiddie Coaster is open and honestly that is about the only coaster I would attempt.  I've ridden Big Thunder Mountain for the last time on this visit.  This coaster is just right for kids, the drops ar...
