Hidden Mickey Hunt At Disney's Wilderness Lodge

Did you know that you can go on a Hidden Mickey Hunt at Disney's Wilderness Lodge? It's one of many great fun (and free) activities just waiting for you at Walt Disney World Resort hotels and you can check it out, even if you're not a guest at the Wilderness Lodge! If you're staying at another Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, you'll be able to drive right into the parking lot, without any worries at all. Not staying on the Disney Property? Typically, you won't have any difficulties here, either. The only time that you won't be able to park in the lot is if it is simply too crowded to fit non-Resort guests. You can, of course, also take Disney Transportation to get to the Wilderness Lodge. Hop aboard the Disney Motor Coach from any of the Theme Parks or Downtown Disney or take the boat over from the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary Resort, or Fort Wilderness. However you get there, make your way up to the Concierge Desk and let them know that you'd like to hunt for the Hidden Mickey's. The Cast Member will give you a sheet filled with clues to help you on your quest to find the Hidden Mickey's at both the Wilderness Lodge as well and it's Villas!

Wait a minute! Just what are these "Hidden Mickeys?" A Hidden Mickey is a depiction of Mickey Mouse that has been subtly added into the design of a Disney attraction, product, resort, etc. It can take the famous, tri-circle form of Mickey's head and ears, a profile of his head in silhouette, his entire body, or any other form under the sun, so long as it's recognizable as Mickey Mouse.

The Wilderness Lodge Hidden Mickey Hunt will take you all around the resort, from it's dining areas, to the pool, and so much in between. It's truly a super fun way to spend a couple of hours. Plus, when you finish your search, you can bring your completed clue sheet back to the Lodge Desk for a special prize! My kids had an absolute blast. I do have to admit that I did some searching around on the internet for pictures of some of the Mickey's that we were having trouble finding, so I could guide my kiddos in the right direction and keep things moving along at a speed that was fitting for a 9-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 3-year-old. In that same vein, I'd love to share some of the pictures that we took with you! They're not all the best pictures, and they'll still require you to do a whole lot of hunting on your own, but they are a good jumping off place (and the best I could do with all of my own kiddos in tow!)

You can see Mickey driving the bus in the front window!

The frontmost horse's bottom has this Hidden Mickey, located on the ceiling of the Territory Lounge.

They just love hiding in stone at the Villas!

We found 4 of these guys (one was behind a tapestry) on the walls, by the elevators, in the Villas.
