I just finished reading the Jugnel Cruise breakfast TR and thought "Did I miss the sign?! What is wrong with me?" ... There wasn't one there Saturday... ahd to double check my pics too...

The Parks Blog finally did a piece on the Spooky Tree! It has all the information that the sign board would normally have!

It wasn't there when I went either, and I went after you went (I think on the 26th).

The blog says there are 13 hidden mickeys. Kelly and I only found 6. I need to go back. lol

I'll check it out this weekend. I'll take some good pics over the coming week and have some detailed pics up in the coming TR>

I stopped by on my way home on Sunday (9/27) and didn't see it either.

How funny! I only spotted the most obvious one (the Mickey pumpkin) and by accident there appears to be another one captured in the photos. I have another trip planned with some other folk and so I hope to get back and check out the tree again (and this time, I'll be looking for the Hidden Mickeys).

Awesome! I also have the photos (posted earlier in this thread) in my (Figment's) Halloween trip report, but hopefully I'll get some news ones too!

The sign board returned early to mid last week (Tue or Wed IIRC), but didn't say how many hidden Mickeys were present. Another guest and myself, managed to find 8 of them, but we wanted to know if we'd gotten them all. She guessed (correctly) that there'd be 13! A lot are hidden in the bark, but there were some amongst the leaves. Didn't see any in the rock wall, but perhaps I just missed it. I thought for sure there'd be one on the owl, but with the lighting I really couldn't tell.

I went and checked out the Spooky Tree over the weekend and they've added stuff since I was there two weeks ago! The sign board was up...

They've also added a bunch of accent elements to the display. At first I thought I was just mis-remembering, but I went back and looked at my photos from late-September and they weren't there! So, now there are now several rats at the base of the tree...

And spiders and bats on the tree...

I didn't have a chance to find all of the hidden Mickeys, but we found several. They're scattered in the leaves, on the tree trunk, and in the rocks...here are a few examples.

I added the photos of all the Hidden Mickeys that I did find to Figment's Halloween Trip Report thread.
