Official DIS Hidden Mickey FAQ Thread - With Pictures!!!

[chip 'n dale rule]

We just got back from Disney a week ago and this was the first trip that my DS's 9,8 & 6 really got into searching for Hidden Mickeys. Imagine their surprise when we pulled some spaghettios out of the fridge and saw this!!!

Here is another HM my sons found on our recent trip. It is a scale on one of the dinosaurs near Dinosaur in AK.

Love this thread!!! It motivated me to finally learn how to add pictures.

Well... I thought I had figured this out. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. I uploaded them to an internet site and then pasted the URL?????

GOT IT!!!

I LOVE those Spagetti O's Chip 'n Dale Rule!

Here's one from the Imagination Pavillion at Epcot - Behind the Giant Kodak Camera!

Here are the new ones that I found. Sorry if any of them are repeats.

This is at Pizzafari in Animal Kingdom.

Once Upon A Toy. We've seen the one on the Candyland castle, but not this right beside it.

This Hidden Minnie can be found on The Great Movie Ride on the mural to the left in the seating area.

Finding Nemo Musical. I had to bribe DH to go up and take this one for me.

The Pooh Ride

This one and the next one are from Maelstrom in Norway. There is also one on the lady dressed in white by her clipboard, but I couldn't get a picture.

some of these are true hidden mickey's others are just obvious design elements.

I don't consider it a hidden mickey unless it's made of separate elements that you would have to look hard to see . or they are intentionally put places that the average person would notice. man hole covers and railing designs are just design elements to me.

Where are Disney's official rules on what makes a hidden Mickey? My DH and I go back and forth on this. He thinks a lot of them are not hidden and very obvious and hidden means you have to look for them. However, if my kids had to stop and look at every turn and search, they'd get dicouraged pretty quickly. Even the author of the hidden Mickey book is not an official Disney employee and is forming his own opinion on what a hidden Mickey is. We say that if we call it a Hidden Mickey, then it's a hidden Mickey. We've just decided that if we say it's a hidden Mickey, it must be one

Hey Mecha & Madi - I agree with Both of you!

I think that we've had this debate somewhere else in this thread as well! I consider some Hidden Mickeys to be more "decorative" - as in obvious! But, that does not mean that someone else may not "see" it! Sometimes you just take things for granted and do not notice them until they are pointed out to you. I think as a HM Purist, you discount things like fences and flags - but as a HM Fan, they are still worth pointing out!

I welcome Both types of Hidden Mickeys to this thread & even if you think that your HM has been posted before, post it again! Sometimes a different angle or view will help someone else "see" it better!

Maelstrom. In the mural behind the load area, it is in the bottom left portion.

Not sure if you meant what or where, but it is the viking wearing the mickey ears on the viking ship.

I was posting the Mickey ears, but if you look on the trees in the area you mention there is one on those trees. Is that what you were talking about?

Outside the entrance to Boma, on the stairwell wall:

On the mural behind the loading dock of Living with the Land:

The lettuce growing stand during Living with the Land, there is one on the top and bottom and both sides of the waterway:

Just subscribing.
Love the pics everyone!

 

[DisneyMom5]

From the Maharajah Jungle Path (?) in Animal Kingdom. There are quite a few Hidden Mickey's on that path.
Didn't notice this guy's necklace until we got home.

Here's my Picture of your HM Madi100, but I don't really "see" it! So, I added Stephen Barrett's description from his HM site!

Toward the right side of the loading area mural in the Norway pavilion in Epcot, a woman cruise director holds a clipboard. To the left of the top of her clipboard, the creases in her white shirt form a side profile of Mickey's face. His face is slightly distorted and he's looking to your left.

If anyone wants to point it out better - or if anyone has a better picture - feel free to post and help us out!

I don't really see it described that way. The CM who pointed it out said that the circle on the clipboard is one of the ears. Then I see it. It is upsidedown.

 

[MeLady]

If it is where I think it is... Mentioning the tear drop.. It is sorta, kinda like a squished up Baby Mickey face. Think that way and I make it out.

This is something I saw while standing in line at Flame Tree on our August trip, it's not in the HM guide, but is located in the right hand side of the second from the right of the order stands. It's in the "border" that separated the "inside" from the "outside" of the order area, on the ground.
