I know this has been posted before but what do I do about that last hidden mickey not being counted toward my 50? It seems that mine is the one near the Explorer's Tent next to the waterfall. Is that the same one for everyone?
Anyway, do I just notify VMK that mine isn't showing up on my list? :earsboy:
 
First try taking a picture of the one it says you have already. If that doesn't work, try taking a picture of the other one. Then take a picture of the first one again.

(OK, that sounds like a lot of pictures, but I took a picture of the jeep and it said I had the waterfall, then I took a picture of the waterfall and nothing happened, then I took a picture of the jeep again, and it gave me an "undefined picture error". Then I took a picture of the waterfall and it worked as number 50. GO FIGURE!)
 
I had a similar problem.
For the Explorer's Tent - it had the wrong picture listed on my 'hidden mickey list' at vmk cental.
It said that I hadn't taken a picture of the waterfall mickey (but I had!), so MANY wasted pictures later I realized that I just needed to take a picture of the OTHER hidden mickey there (the list said I had taken that picture).
Programming glitch??
(this also happened to me in Storybookland)
Hope this helps

Lab girl is correct this is a bug and VMK has it wrong they have switch around the pics so retake the other pic in that instance and you will have your 50!

BUT if you are not going to WDW or DL until 2006 WAIT the voucher you will receive for finding all 50 Mickeys now is only good until Dec 31, 2005.

I am currently having the same problem! My last two... explorers tent waterfall and storybookland mine. I have taken at least 20 pics of each one. Thanks for the tips - I'm going to try them tonight :banana:

i just tried that and it didnt work. ill try again tomorrow maybe it will work :confused3
 
My "problem Mickey" was at the Jungle Cruise dock.

And yes, I agree with the advice to take a picture of the OTHER Mickey there, if one of them isn't registering. For some reason, taking the troublesome one over didn't do it, but taking a second picture of the counted one did the trick.

Weird! :badpc:

They are giving out vouchers now for finding them all? What do you get with it? And can people that have already completed the Mickey Hunt get them now?
 
The voucher is a pass for four people to take the VIP tour, which otherwise you have to get by completing all the other VMK tours first (Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, etc.)

And no, if you have already completed your character's Hidden Mickey quest, you are not eligible for a voucher. However, if you have a secondary character, you can certainly go ahead and get it that way, if you don't mind the cost of film!
 
Awesome! I had been having the same trouble at the Explorer's tent. VMK said I had the waterfall, and I had taken like a dozen pictues of the other mickey without any luck. So I just now found this thread and took a picture of the waterfall and got credit for my 50th mickey!

Thanks folks!
 
forgot to say that i got it right after the post i made. dont you hate it when that heppens? im hating my day really. rats in the cellar on full blast always helps. or toys in the attic

Thank you for this post!!! I thought maybe I was losing it. I took the picture and acted like I already had taken it. Thanks again.
