Summer Afternoon in the Studios

Vickie and I had lunch at the Hollywood Brown Derby, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with Anthony and Ken, who are avid AllEars.net fans! In fact, they’ve signed up for Deb’s cruise next year! Anthony and I had the famous Brown Derby Cobb Salad (one of my favorite salads), Ken had a delicious grouper (I say delicious with confidence since his plate was the first bare plate at our table), and Vickie enjoyed a salad and crab cakes. From left to right in the photo are Anthony, Ken, me and Vickie.

After lunch, the wait for the Great Movie Ride was only 5 minutes, so we hopped on board. I showed Ken and Anthony the great shadow Hidden Minnie image on the loading dock mural. Look above the roof in the photo. Minnie is just above the short tree stump and she’s looking to the left:

I pointed out to our group the advertisements that reference Pocahontas in the Western scene. One sign is to the right of your vehicle on a wall behind a barber pole:

and another is to your left on a fence just past John Wayne.

In front of the entrance to the Great Movie Ride, Anthony, Ken and I posed over the imprint of Carol Burnett’s Mickey ears:

I checked out the afternoon Pixar Pals parade (I’m a real fan of the Disney-Pixar movies!). Mike Wazowski from “Monsters, Inc.” waved at me:

Carl Fredricksen from “Up” floated by me in front of his balloons:

This summer day in Florida was hot, but who cares? We’re at Disney World!

Not surprisingly, his favorite spot in the World is anywhere there's a Hidden Mickey. He suggests that all visitors take some time to chat with cast members, especially when looking for Hidden Mickeys, as they can enrich your Disney experience and make it even more magical.

  1. Thanks Steve,

    Getting ready to head back to WDW in a few days. Love to check out blogs to keep up with our favorite place to go. Keep hoping they’ll have a contest(that I win, of course), and the winner gets to spend one full month on the property, just to see how much you can do and visit.

  2. Thanks Steve! Any way you spend your time in Disney is awesome, because hey, you’re in Disney!!! What’s not to love about that?
