About this blog

Copyright 2012 MikeandTheMouse
I decided to start this blog for a very simple reason - to share my love and knowledge of all things Disney with family, friends and future colleagues. I wanted it to be simple, easy to read, and straight to the point. My desire was to give my readers a trustworthy and accurate place to go in order to receive precise,  up-to-date information without all of the rumors, opinions and "breaking news" from the so-called Disney "experts and insiders" and fanboys/girls that we all know reside in internet land!

This blog will feature the following:
  • Accurate and up-to-date information directly from Walt Disney World (verified)
  • Positive and uplifting points of view
  • Fun Facts
  • A good story every now and then
What you WILL NOT find on this blog:
  • Forums (they are nasty, long-winded and full of "know-it-alls")
  • Catchy acronym's that only a select few will understand (and believe me, that's how they want it)
  • Rumors and Speculation
  • Negativity about Disney or other theme parks
If you are a lover of all things Disney, then this blog is for you and I welcome you with open arms. If you desire rumor, speculation and think you have the power to persuade Disney to get rid of Duffy, change the American Adventure costumes back to their original style or if you really believe that you were solely responsible for Disney re-writing their plans for Starbucks and the Main Street Bakery then I invite you to go elsewhere. You will not hurt my feelings.

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths". - Walt Disney

Greetings, fellow Disney enthusiasts! I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence from the website. Due to recent personal and professional changes, I have had to prioritize certain aspects of my life over my beloved hobby. However, I am determined to turn this passion into something even more significant in the near future. As a result, the website will be undergoing a much-needed redesign within the next month or so. During this time, no new updates will be available on the site. However, please feel free to stay up-to-date with any breaking news or updates by following my Twitter or Instagram feeds. I cannot express how much I appreciate your continued support and patience over the years. Together, we have come so far, and I assure you that the new design will provide the latest information and easier navigation. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and love. I promise that we will be back soon! Until then, "See ya real soon!" Micha...
