A Visit to Art of Animation Resort and its Hidden Mickeys

One Sunday afternoon, Vickie and I stopped by the Art of Animation Resort to check out Hidden Images.

What do you think about this image? It’s on a large blue rock to the right of the steps, directly opposite the rear exit doors from Animation Hall, just after you pass through the entrance gate to the Big Blue Pool. (Thanks to She-Knows-CA, Laurie and Becky Bloodworth, and Donna McMurrey).

I’ve been debating these images for a while. You can find them in a Treasure Chest in the courtyard of The Little Mermaid section. The first one is made of a blue gem and two gold coins. Do you think it qualifies to be a Hidden Mickey? (Thanks to Deb Wills, Allison Laudage, and Mary Jo Collins)

The second one is made of three gold coins. Is this image a Hidden Mickey? (Thanks to Mary Jo Collins, Sherrie Cotton, and Justin Lewicki).

On the other hand, I think the following is a true Hidden Mickey. It’s made of three orange spots on green seaweed under a clam design. You can find this image repeated in several of the clam designs along the inside of the guest room buildings, facing the pool of The Little Mermaid section. (Thanks to Justin Lewicki.)
