Hidden Mickeys

Believe it or not, Disney intentionally hides "Mickeys" all over the place! The internationally-recognized Mickey Mouse head (one big circle and two smaller circles for the ears) has been discovered hidden in murals, fences, shows—you name it, you can probably find a Mickey hidden somewhere in it!

Finding these Hidden Mickeys can be a fun adventure in itself. Much of Jennifer's first and second trips to Walt Disney World were spent scouting for Hidden Mickeys, and we both continue to delight in finding a new Hidden Mickey on our trips!

We have two schools of thoughts when it comes to finding Hidden Mickeys:

1. Go to Walt Disney World without any knowledge of WHERE to find Hidden Mickeys, relying only on your own observational skills to discover them. This is, of course, the most challenging option.

2. Read about your fellow vacationers' discoveries before you go so you know exactly where to look for various Hidden Mickeys. We recommend you use the links on the right to find a list (or two) of Hidden Mickeys that interests you, print it out, and place it in your PassPorter to take with you!

Either way you do it, hunting for Hidden Mickeys is fun and rewarding.

Tom Shaws' Hidden Mickeys of Walt Disney World site is older and not up-to-date like Steve Barrett's. It's still quite fascinating and it offers an excellent definition of what is and isn't a Hidden Mickey, along with lists of Hidden Mickeys in the parks and on the Disney Cruise Line.
