Mickey’s birthday is this Friday, November 18, and he’s been traveling around the world to celebrate. There are celebrations planned at both Disney World and Disneyland for his birthday, and you will also be able to find some special treats to celebrate the day.
Mickey Mouse’s birthday is November 18 and this year he is celebrating by traveling around the world and making stops at iconic locations.
“I wanna be like you, walk like you, talk like you too!”
Sitting on the couch, one boring day, my parents started talking about Timothy and Dumbo and the feather. That got me thinking.
In life sometimes there are many things that seem to follow us around. When I was a child, I used to think the moon followed our car at night. As a grown adult, I tend to spot Mickey Mouse, just about everywhere.
A new show will soon take place on the Forecourt Stage at Cinderella Castle. It was announced a while back, but there is now a start date available for “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire.”
Throwback Thursday is always fun. I love looking back at different things and getting nostalgic. So I thought I would do a throwback post for today and it didn’t take me long to figure out where I wanted to throwback to.
Guests have been able to dine with Minnie and her friends at Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios while enjoying different themes for the meals. The themes change every few months to go along with the season and reservations are now open for the next themed dinner.
There are so many things to do in Disney World and a lot of them rely on being somewhere at a certain time or waiting in lines. Things can get a little crazy if there is too much packed into one trip, but there are some things you can do to slow down and just have fun. Plus, you don’t need to be in the parks for this.
It’s a well-known game and all it involves is looking for hidden Mickeys. They could be anywhere from being part of a sidewalk to being in the design on your hotel room curtain. We had never spent too much time looking for hidden Mickey’s in the past, but this time around we wanted to see how many we could find.
We had a lot of fun with this, because both the kids and the adults got into the game. So anywhere we went on Disney property we were on the lookout for hidden Mickeys. It’s helpful when you are waiting in line for a ride and the line is not moving fast. We would get the kids looking for the Mickeys and they wouldn’t get impatient waiting in line.
I’m excited to see what hidden Mickeys we can find during the next trip! Disney is pretty creative with the placement of a lot of the Mickeys. Some people have written books about finding the Mickeys. So if you just want to know where they are in the parks, you can pick up one of those books.
Have you ever looked for hidden Mickeys?

The Military surprise videos always make me bawl and these are no different.
Disney Parks Blog has posted some Military surprise videos in honor of the Fourth of July. Of course, these are all surprises that happened at Disney World.
One video has talking Mickey, another takes place with the Voices of Liberty, and another happens during a runDisney event. However this one is my favorite. I bawled like a baby at this one!

Mickey’s Backyard BBQ is an all-you-care-to-enjoy picnic at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Mickey and friends are there to sign autographs and take pictures in the newly enhanced character meet and greet area.
According to Rachel Brent (Food & Beverage Marketing Communications Coordinator) and Disney Parks Blog, to help more people be able to book this dining experience, Disney has added two more days to book reservations. So, in addition to being open every Thursday and Saturday, Mickey’s Backyard BBQ can now be booked on a Tuesday or Friday.
Here are some of the food and drinks you can expect to find at Mickey’s Backyard BBQ:
To add even more convenience, Disney has added a bus route that takes guests directly back to Magic Kingdom where they can then get transportation back to their resort.
