Not exactly sure what P stands for? Well, at Toy Story Mania in Hollywood Studios in Disney World, the letter stands for peepers. That's right a set of eyes.

There are many things you can find at Disneyland and Disney World when standing in line waiting for the rides.
If you look closely, sometimes you can find some fun things to grab a quick shot. Here's one in Hollywood Studios at Toy Story Mania ride. Remember the old View-masters. These are the old special-format stereoscopes where the images would look rich and almost 3-D. Here's an image from a large View-Master reel that was blown up for the queue area.

The next Limited Time Magic announced at Disneyland and Disney World is more of a limited time sale than an experience.

The parks are offering miniature MousekeEars featuring pop color or Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck Goofy and Pluto, according to the Disney Parks Blog. The hats, which normally sell for $12.95 each are going to be two for $15 in March while supplies last.
Disney instituted the "Limited Time Magic" program this year in an effort to offer guests unexpected experiences "big and small that appear, then disappear as the next special surprise debuts."

Those of us on Team Pie think every day should be National Pie Day. But alas, it only comes once a year, on March 1.
If you happen to be at Disney World for the big day, consider making your own Limited Time Magic with a piece of pie -- or Pie Around the World, depending on your appetite.
This isn't as easy as it might sound. In a world of flourless chocolate cake, pie is not that common on Disney World menus. But you could certainly get your fill if you work at it. (Caveat: This is what's on the menu as of this writing, and menus may change.)
If you don't happen to be visiting a Disney park, feel free to drown your sorrows in any pie you find close at hand.
Apple Pie
Many aficionados declare the best pie in the World is the apple-caramel pie at Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. It's made with fresh Granny Smith apples, sugar cookie crust, streusel topping and caramel drizzle. The resort is just a boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom, a lovely respite on a busy day.
Close your eyes and you can almost pretend apple crisp is actually apple pie (sorry, purists). You can find a nice apple crisp at Columbia Harbour House at the Magic Kingdom or the 50s Prime-Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios. (Not up for eating your vegetables first? Take a seat at the bar and you can get your pie without cleaning your plate.)
Another option: The strawberry and apple crumble at Downtown Disney's Raglan Road.
Pecan Pie
Pecan pie occupies the space in my brain immediately adjacent to apple pie; perhaps it's the Thanksgiving connection. But pecan pie is a lot harder to come by, especially when it's not actually Thanksgiving.
To find pecans anytime, you have to go to the Deep South -- in this case, Boatwright's Dining Hall at Port Orleans Riverside.
The next space over in my brain is reserved for pumpkin pie, but I didn't see a single pumpkin pie on the current Disney menu.
Mango Pie
Yak & Yeti Restaurant at Animal Kingdom serves an unusual pie: Mango pie with a shortbread cookie crust, fresh whipped cream and raspberry sauce. The pie has a custard texture. This restaurant is worth a visit whether or not you're on Team Pie.
Key Lime Pie
Where do you go for Key Lime pie? Key West, of course. In this case, Old Key West Resort. It's a bit of a schlep if you're not staying there, but the personal-sized Key Lime pie at Olivia's gets great reviews from guests, especially for its thick graham cracker crust.
A lot more accessible, but a little less pie-like: The Key Lime Tart at Sunshine Seasons at Epcot's Land Pavilion.
Shula's at the Dolphin in the Epcot Resort area also has a true Key Lime pie on the menu. And Downtown Disney is a veritable pie-a-palooza, with key lime on the menu at T-Rex, House of Blues and Cap'n Jack's.
Savory pies
Sure, dessert pies get all the glory, but don't overlook savory pies, especially not when they're on the menu at such great restaurants as Downtown Disney's Raglan Road and Epcot's Rose & Crown.
Raglan Road has a variety of tasty pies (I know; I've tried them all): a traditional shepherd's pie; chicken and wild mushroom pie; a "Beefy Murray," or curry beef pie with spinach, potatoes, mushrooms and apple chutney.
But if you're up for a quick-service meal, try Cooke's of Dublin right next door, which has a selection of traditional meat pies, including fisherman's pie (seafood simmered in white wine sauce with a mashed potato crust), chicken and mushroom pie and beef and lamb pie. (Since you're in the neighborhood, you could follow up your savory pie with a Key Lime pie dessert at any of the Downtown Disney restaurants.)
Back at Epcot, the Rose & Crown Dining Room offers both a cottage pie and vegetable pie with a mashed potato top. (The difference between a cottage pie and a shepherd's pie? The terms are often used interchangeable. But traditionally, a shepherd's pie is made with ground lamb or mutton, while a cottage pie is made with another meat, typically ground beef.)
Happy National Pie Day! Go ahead and pie one on for us!

Rachel Booth crosses the finish line in this Disney publicity photo. |
The Mandeville, La. runner is the only woman to win four runDisney races – two Princess Half Marathons (2012 and 2013) and two Disneyland Half Marathons (2010 and 2011).
Booth's latest win over 26,000 runners took 1:17:38 – 33 seconds faster than her then-record time of 1:18:11 a year ago. Coming in second was Mia Elbon of Nashville, Tenn. at 1:18:04 and coming in third was Megan Jaswell of Johnston, Rhode Island at 1:26:47.
“It never gets old, for sure,” Booth said in a Disney news release. “As I got to Mile 7 and 8 and through Mile 10, I got to see some people (cheering) and that definitely gave me extra incentive.”

Work is now taking place on the new queue at Big Thunder Mountain in the Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
In a few weeks when it opens it will tell the backstory of Barnabas T. Bullion, founder and president of Big Thunder Mining Company.
The backstory goes like this, according to Disney: “Barnabas T. Bullion is the founder and president of the Big Thunder Mining Company. The longtime mining magnate comes from a powerful East Coast family and considers gold to be his very birthright . . . he considers the ultimate gold strike to be his destiny. And that is why he is having so much trouble with Big Thunder Mountain. According to superstitious locals, Big Thunder Mountain is very protective of the gold it holds within, and the unfortunate soul who attempts to mine its riches is destined to fail. And so far that prophecy is coming to pass. The mine has been plagued by mysterious forces and natural disasters ever since. . . a word to the wise for anyone attempting to visit the mountain: watch out for runaway trains.”
In this Disney video, Project Manager Wyatt Winter and Creative Designer Pete Carsillo gives a tour of the queue.

For all of those who have complained about coffee at the Disney parks, this may be your answer and we're not talking Starbucks
There's a new coffee in town at the Disney parks: Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co.
Disney has entered into a long term alliance with the specialty coffee company that makes it the official specialty coffee of Disneyland, Disney World and the Disney Vacation Club properties, according to a news release from Disney.
This is in addition to the Starbucks opening in the parks.
For years there have been complaints on the quality of the coffee in the parks. Nestle is a corporate sponsor, and Nescafe coffee is sold in many places, which to the coffee aficionado is nothing more than water.
Joffrey’s has been operating coffee kiosks in Disney World since 1995 but now they will be expand and even create special blends of coffee just for Disney guests that will be available at additional locations, including quick-service restaurants and in-room coffee service.
“We are thrilled to be creating unique coffee blends exclusively for Disney guests,” Chris de Mezzo, Joffrey’s roastmaster and chief operating officer said in the release.

Last week production of the new "The Muppets . . . Again!" started in London.
We know that this movie, starring Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey, centers around a tour of Europe. And we know it is coming out next year. But wouldn't it be fun to see some classic movies made into Muppet movies.
How about Miss Piggy starring in "Cleopigtra." Or Kermit The Frog in "Pirates of the Amphibian." If you wander around the outside of MuppetVision 3-D at Hollywood Studios at Disney World you'll be able to see movie posters of the Muppet movies we'd like to see:

Flacco was named the game's Most Valuable Player amassing 287 yards passing, including three first-half touchdowns.
