Hidden Mickey Monday – Epcot Morocco

Hidden Mickey Monday – Epcot Morocco

Today’s Hidden Mickey Monday is from the Morocco in World Showcase at Epcot.   I have walked past this Mickey many times and as I was reviewing pictures it looks like I really enjoyed taking pictures of it.   The Morocco area is currently under construction as a new waterfront restaurant “Spice Road Table” is built.   The new restaurant will serve various small plates and refreshments inspired by the Mediterranean. Seating will be both indoors and out, and will be open by the end of 2013.

Le Cellier Steak

If you hungry for a steak and you are at Epcot, look no further than Canada and Le Cellier restaurant.    I’m not a big fan of mushrooms, but this is one of my wife’s favorite meals at Disney World.   This steak is cooked to your liking, laid on a bed of wild mushroom risotto and covered with a white truffle butter.   Is your mouth watering yet?   The atmosphere at Le Cellier is very relaxing is its darker and designed to look like a wine cellar.

Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: The American Adventure

 

Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA About The American Adventure Building?

 

Keeping with a patriotic theme today.   How many stories is The American Adventure building?

The American Adventure

 

If you guessed 5 then you are right.   Wait; there are only 3 windows so how can the building be 5 stories tall???   It’s all forced perspective.   Imagineers wanted the building to fit with the colonial architecture when buildings were never more than two/three stories.  This is the opposite perspective than on Main Street USA where buildings that are only 2 stories tall are made to look like they are 3.
