Show # 390 Blast from the Past: Hidden Mickey Guy, Steve Barrett

Join us this week for one of our favorite shows and from so long ago.  We had Steve Barrett AKA The Hidden Mickey Guy on Show #43 and it was a very fun interview.  Steve has published a Disney recognized book(s) of Hidden Mickey's that can be found around the parks.  His books have been sold in the Disney Parks and even the ships.  

Hidden Mickeys are a fun way to keep the family into all of that touring that we do.  "A Hidden Mickey can take different forms. The most common image is the tri-circle Mickey frontal silhouette: three circles that form Mickey’s round head and adjoining round ears. Other images include a side or oblique (usually three-quarter) profile of Mickey’s face and head, a side profile of his entire body, a full-body frontal silhouette, a detailed picture of his face or    body, or a three-dimensional Mickey. Sometimes, just his gloves handprints, shoes or ears appear. Even his name or initials in unusual places may qualify as Hidden Mickeys."
