Hidden Mickeys

One of the Maui Taiko families is going to Disney World in the next couple weeks, and of course my advice to them on their trip was - LOOK FOR HIDDEN MICKEYS!!!  Haha.  I'm such a nerd.  Anyhoo... I'm a Disney freak.  I'm for anything that brings in a healthy dose of magic in my life, even if that magic happens to be prefabricated.

Of course, by magic, I simply mean that spark of joy and wonder that you get when you experience something unexpected, or the special feeling that you get when it seems like you're in on an inside joke.

I love that Disney animators throw in references to other Disney movies and characters... like when the Genie in Aladdin pulls Sebastian out of his bag or when the Sultan has a Beast toy among his animal figurines.  Maybe it's just my appreciation for small details.  Or maybe I just like it when people go that extra mile and reward you for paying close attention.

Or... maybe I just need to grow up.  Try telling me that sometime.  My answer will probably be "Never!"  Hmm... reminds me of Peter Pan... another Disney Movie!  Speaking of which, if you find yourself at the Peter Pan Adventure ride in Disneyland, walk across to the Snow White ride and train your eyes on the window above the entrance area.  Every 30 seconds or so, the evil queen pulls the curtains open and peers out the window.  Details!  Love the details!
