We continue to find potential Hidden Mickeys in the amazing detail of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Check out two images from Pandora. One is along the outer perimeter of the collection of drums to play, which is near the entrance to Na’vi River Journey. Three small mushroom-like growths can be found about three feet up from … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys in Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World

Various paintings hang on the walls in The Plaza Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. This painting is on a rear wall to the right as you enter. Two sets of small circles on the front of this woman’s dress suggest classic Mickeys. One group of circles is near and below her right hand. The other … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World"

Hidden Mickeys in the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Steve Barrett
A black Mickey-shaped image is suspended in front of the left side of an upper-story window along the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, in the room with women chasing men in circles to the left of your boat. I’m not sure what it is; maybe it’s the end of a bar or pipe? I don’t … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys in the Magic Kingdom"

Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I’m updating the Walt Disney World Hidden Mickeys book, so I’m visiting frequently. I check out potential new Hidden Mickeys and verify if old ones are still in place. Here are some images that I’ll add to the book. This first Hidden Mickey has stayed around a while, thankfully. At America Gardens Theatre, classic Hidden … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World"

Possible Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Some of the following images come close – I think – to forming classic Hidden Mickeys. Of course, some collections of circles are more convincing than others. What do you think of these? In Epcot, along the “Frozen Ever After” Standby queue, at one point you walk through Oaken’s Tokens shop. Circular impressions on the … Continue reading "Possible Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World"

Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World

I’ll begin with a few images from Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We should find at least a few Hidden Mickeys in the new Pandora, right? How about this image? Look for these small indentations in the rock wall (in the middle of the photo) along the lower exit walkway from “Avatar Flight of Passage,” near the … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys around Walt Disney World"

Hidden Mickeys in the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland and Splash Mountain

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I’ve been wondering about a few images that folks have let me know about. This first image is on the steampunk dragon (Maleficent) in the Festival of Fantasy parade. Find it on the plate just below the right shoulder joint. Three faint circles in the metal might form a classic Mickey. What do you think? … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys in the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland and Splash Mountain"

Hidden Mickeys around Epcot

Posted on by Steve Barrett
I’d heard that the wire mesh Hidden Mickey (in the shrimp tube on Living with the Land) could be moved around at times. For the last few years, it sat in a tube along the right side of your boat, but recently I spotted the mesh Mickey on the left side. So, be sure and … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys around Epcot"

Hidden Mickeys in Japan, Be Our Guest Restaurant, and Tren-D

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Stop by the Mitsukoshi Store in Epcot’s Japan Pavilion and look for Hidden Mickeys in the oyster-pearl display. Sometimes, you can find pearls arranged as a classic three-circle Mickey, and other times Cast Members arrange the oyster shells into a classic Mickey in the water. I arrived right after store opening and watched the CM … Continue reading "Hidden Mickeys in Japan, Be Our Guest Restaurant, and Tren-D"
