Parks Game...Part 12! I Can't Believe We're Still Playing!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Yeah! Okay since you asked about my favorite parade, lets have one related to my favorite Resort

How many "official" Hidden Mickeys are located in the Wilderness Lodge Resort?

 

[outlander]

Right you are, Kimmy! The MSEP was the halftime show for the '78 Orange Bowl in Miami. Arkansas beat Oklahoma 31 to 6. I "proudly present our spectacular pagaent of nighttime magic and imagination" AAQ to you!

I'm not really sre about the back history about why the Big 8 chose to have the MSEP as their halftime show. Maybe they were hyping up for the creation of EPCOT Center? Wait....scratch that. I just checked on that and the Orange Bowl was January 2nd of '78 and Disney didn't announce until October 1st of that year the plans of building EPCOT Center. Hmmm....we shall investigate this mystery.

Thanks for checking on that! Hopefully you can find some more info on it to share with us.

No clue, but I'm sure in a resort like that, there must be quite a few, so I'll guess 75?

Hmmm...Hidden Mickeys at WL? I'll guess 142!

Re: MSEP...The Orange Bowl has been an evening game for many years, therefore being "prime time" TV. For many years Disney provided a halftime show. The Orange Bowl lights would be lowered, and the lights from the MSEP, or other similar floats would provide a great show. Of course, at the same time (with a huge tv audience) it provided a great marketing opportunity for WDW!

Jen;
Great to "see" you back in the CC. Hang out here Monday for the big sixth anniversary party!!

I'll guess 8 official Hidden Mickey's.

 

[Mickey_Maniac]

OK, I'll revise my guess down to 26

Stll Less...

 

[N10CJT]

Is it a trick question? I thought I saw somewhere that there were no "official" Mickeys, that no one can actually say how many there are.... so would the answer be zero?

 

[amyhughes]

That's what I was thinking. The IMagineers just add them willy nilly without recording them...

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

No, it is not a trick. When we checked in to the resort, last time, I found one and the CM gave me an "official" list of how many of them there were. This of course does not include the ones in the bed spreads...

 

[plutospup]

Ok, I'll take another stab at this...how about 1 hidden mickey - aerial view of WL (Lobby=Mickey's face, and Wings represent his ears) .

Alright, maybe I've had one too many whiparitas...probably not...just maybe!

 

[gometros]

I may not get to post tomorrow, since we share the same anniversary and DW and I are going to see a show, so I will take this opportunity to say

Happy Anniversary to the Chalk Circle!

 

[ryley26]

How about 7 Mickey's

 

[outlander]

I wonder if my 'unofficial' guide to hidden mickey's would help here?
Heck, I'll go with lucky number 4
Though, that doesn't really sound like a good 'official' number now that I see it there.

 

[disneycruise05]

Hmmm...well my lucky nember is 26, but since that's already been guessed, I'll use the "Price is Right" method....is it $1? Oops, wrong method. I'll guess 27.

Forgot to add:

A VERY MERRY 6TH UN-BIRTHDAY TO Y'ALL!!!!
