Hidden Mickey Monday: Living with the Land

Hidden Mickey Monday: Living with the Land

Our Hidden Mickey this week comes from Living with the Land at Epcot.   As you travel through the Fish Farm area of the Living with the Land attraction, pay close attention to how the hoses are laid out on the ground, many times the cast members layout the hose in a classic Mickey shape.

Fastpass to History – Mickey Mouse Explains The Art

I was recently reading about how much Walt Disney loved the National Geographic Magazine and how much it was used for reference during the creation of all early Disney movies.    After hearing that Walt was featured in the magazines August 1963 addition I had to hit eBay to purchase it.

Walt National GeographicIn the magazine there are three amazing views of Walt Disney’s world.   The first of these is the “Walt Disney, Genius of Laughter and Learning” by Melville Bell Grosvenor which takes a look at the legacy of Walt Disney.   “Walter Elias Disney was a genius who brought laughter and knowledge to the world in a distinctive American way” sums it up.     The second article and main article on Walt is “The Magic Worlds of Walt Disney” by Robert De Roos.   This 40+ page article is filled with pictures and takes us into the movies, theme parks, Worlds Fairs, and pretty much everything on Walt’s mind at the time.   As part of this large article there is a section titled “Animation, Mickey Mouse explains the art to Mr. G.O. Graphic” which I found fun and interesting as it has Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale and many more Disney friends explain the animation process.

Here are the 9 simple steps it takes to create a Disney animated movie in 1960’s technology:

Hidden Mickey Monday: Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

Our Hidden Mickey this week comes from Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at the Magic Kingdom.   Last week we went inside the queue line for a special Mickey in Sector 1 and 2.   This week we go outside to the long lost FASTPASS Ticket Distribution area.  For those of you that remember FASTPASS, you used to have to run to an attraction and collect a ticket which told you what time you could come back and get into the FASTPASS line, at Buzz the machine that printed the ticket also had a special surprise.
