Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World®'s Best Kept Secrets - Softcover

Steven M. Barrett is the author of Hidden Mickeys guides to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the Disney Cruise Line. He lives in Seminole County, Florida, near Orlando. Barrett paid his first visit to Disney World in the late 1980s, after attending a conference in Orlando. He immediately fell under its spell, visiting it twice yearly with family and friends for the next several years, offering touring advice to the less initiated, and reading almost everything written about the WDW theme parks. When a job in his field opened up not far from WDW in 1998, Barrett, a Texas native, Air Force veteran, and former University of Oklahoma professor, relocated to the Orlando area from Houston, Texas. He began visiting the WDW parks every chance he got to enjoy the attractions, sample the restaurants, escort visiting friends and relatives, and find hidden Mickeys! His interest in them led him to write his three Hidden Mickeys field guides.
