What is a hidden Mickey?
A "hidden Mickey" is best defined as a Mickey Mouse head or reference concealed
in a Disney resort or attraction. In recent years, hidden Mickeys have
become a great deal of fun for Disney enthusiast to try and track down.
Hidden Mickeys are built into the attractions and resorts by Disney
"Imagineers" while constructing or adding the finishing touches to an attraction.
The search for hidden Mickeys continues as each Hidden Mickey will probably
never be found.
Walt Disney World states the following "Hidden Mickeys". Some
appear to be hidden and some deliberate. The following Hidden Mickeys were referenced from an official Walt Disney World list that can be obtained by visiting Guest relations at any of the Walt Disney World theme parks.
