He first visited Walt Disney World in 1975 and has returned many times since. How many times? Mike doesn't know exactly but he knows the range is somewhere between "double-digits and triple-digits." For years Mike wrote detailed trip reports which gave detailed accounts of his trips and served others as guidelines for their trips. Mike has delivered several seminars on Walt Disney World Trip Planning and continues to do so today. Before joining AllEars Mike wrote his "Scoping the Parks" column for Mouseplanet. Mike is a contributor to the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World and Cara Goldsbury's Luxury Guide to Walt Disney World and has served as keynote speaker for the 2006 and 2007 MagicMeets. Mike is also co-host of the WDWTODAY Podcast. In 2005 Mike was designated as one of the 50 Happiest Passholders on Earth by Walt Disney World and in 2006 was selected as the Walt Disney World Passholder representative to attend the announcement of the Year of a Million Dreams. Mike's favorite attraction is the American Adventure and his favorite Walt Disney World treat is Dole Whip which is also known as "Dr. Scopa's Magical Elixir." His favorite resorts are Pop Century, Port Orleans French Quarter, and the Polynesian Resort. Mike is an avid runner and has run no less than a dozen Walt Disney World races including several Walt Disney World half-marathons, one Mini-Marathon, two Races for the Cure, two Races for the Taste and the Tower of Terror 13K. Mike lives in Southern New Hampshire with his wife Carol. They have two adult children who also have the Disney bug although they know they fall far short of Dad's passion for the Mouse.
Mike's AllEars® blog is known as "The View from Scopa Towers" and offers advice and perspective on all aspects of Walt Disney World.
