Go On A Hidden Mickey Hunt!

Have you ever gone on a Hidden Mickey hunt at one of the Disney Parks? It can be so much fun and a great way to pass the time while walking from one location to another, waiting on line, or whenever you'd like a fun and different activity to do! Just what is a "Hidden Mickey?" It's a representation of Mickey Mouse that has been added, most often very subtly, into the design of a Disney attraction, product, resort, etc. It can take the famous tri-circle form of Mickey's head and ears, be a profile of Mickey's head in silhouette, be shaped like his entire body, or it can take any other form under the sun, so long as it's recognizable as Mickey Mouse. True Hidden Mickey's at the Disney Parks were very intentionally placed by Disney Imagineers as attractions, etc. were being designed and built. However, there are also unintentional Hidden Mickey's that pop up, as well. Some of my favorite Hidden Mickeys that my family and I have found over the years include:

This silhouette of Mickey's head can be seen on this planet both in the queue
as well as toward the ride exit on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

Check the ground outside the Dumbo attraction for this manhole cover and
elephant footprints that make up our tri-circle Hidden Mickey.

At Animal Kingdom's Finding Nemo: The Musical, you can find this
Hidden Mickey on the wall, next to the stage.

As you walk past Min & Bill's Dockside Diner at Hollywood Studios,
you'll see this Tri-Circle Hidden Mickey form as the sign comes into
alignment with the portholes on the ship. Intentional?

I found  this one outside the restrooms closest to
Toy Story Midway Mania. It's a light in the floor. There were many lights,
but only one with bulbs in this Hidden Mickey pattern. Since the takingof this picture, however, the bulbs have since been replaced with one,
non-Mickey shaped light. I guess it was an unintentional one, after all.

Love looking for Hidden Mickey's? Then consider stopping by the Wilderness Lodge. This Resort Hotel has a whole Hidden Mickey Hunt game, complete with clue sheet, that you can take part in, anytime!
