::MinnieMo I am going to WDW soon, and i was wondering what a hidden mickey looks like and where they are usually found. So, if you have any pictures of them or anything.

Bye, diva122094:yay:

My favorites are

- Buzz Lightyear [look at the planets in the waiting room, specifically where there is a planet that looks like earth]

- Rock 'n' Rollercoaster [in the pre-show room, go to the front, by side where you entered from. There are wires shaped in the form of Mickey's head]

- Soarin' - There are rocks in the shape of Mickey's head when you're "climbing" up a ski-er's moutain, on the golf ball [this one's incredibly small], and in the fireworks at the end.

- Polynesian - Go up to the second floor and look down at the entrance. The floor tiles form a Mickey Head.

* Note:
Check beadspreads in your hotel room. Idk where you're staying, but the one's at Port Orleans French Quarter have Mickey's all over them.

Keep an open mind, because its great to see what you can find.
[Yes, I realized this rhymed.]
 
I LOVE hidden Mickeys! I have some pictures below but some you just can't get a picture of well, if at all. I highly advise finding websites or even buying the book (Steve Barry's, which I love). It's a great time filler and just another bit of Disney magic, especially because so few people know about it.

Now I hate to be a snob about it, but if you look for them, make sure to know the difference between a true hidden Mickey and a decorative Mickey (like in resort bedspreads, for example). I put some examples below the true hidden Mickeys.

Check out the moss on the Tree of Life.

An ABSOLUTLY horrible picture but the line was moving too fast. As any rate, the glasses on the desk in the line for TOT are folded into a classic Mickey.

The protruberance in the opening of Splash Mountain.

In the border of the stage for Mickey's Philharmagic.

In the queue for TT.

Decorative:

In Living With the Land. It's not exactly subtle and the tourguide flat-out pointed it out.

The worker's hole coverings can often be seen with a Mickey in the middle.

Kids meals come in Mickey plates and note the shape of the crackers. That mac n' cheese from the Electric Umbrella is the best I've ever had, by the way. On a similar dining note, look at the recycle symbol on the back of the napkins...

Outside of GMR. It's not hidden (hence, not a "true" HM), but it's not jumping right out at you.


There are tons more and a lot of my favorites I don't have pictures of and there are TONS out there. Some of them are just miraculous.

And you definitely deserve a great big Andy's room welcome...or a DIS welcome, but whatever...:welcome:
 

Be sure to check out the DIS' official Hidden Mickey thread!

I love that thread. :lovestruc

Also, you might want to consider the hidden mickey book:
http://www.hiddenmickeysguide.com/
There's a ton of hidden mickeys in there, and they're rated 1-5 on how easy they are to find, 1 being easiest and 5 being hardest. And you can keep score and count up your points at the end of your trip. It's a really great book. We own the 2nd edition and had a lot of fun trying to find the really hard ones on our last trip. Just a little suggestion.
 
I LOVE Hidden Mickey's! My sister and I have a contest everytime we go. My parents have recently gotten into the competition as well. Unfortunatley I don't remember where I've seen all of them. But you've got some good advice in the posts above mine.
