Hidden Mickeys

What is a Hidden Mickey? A Hidden Mickey is the image of Mickey Mouse’s head placed in certain areas or on objects throughout Disney Resort’s. A fun activity to do while visiting Disneyland, Ca is to hunt for these special Mickey heads. The shapes of these Hidden Mickey’s range in different sizes, and can even be low as the ground or high as Space Mountain. They can even be in the food you eat or in the plants you see. One of the most obvious Hidden Mickey’s you can find is you’re snack food. If you purchase a funnel cake it will be the shape of Mickey’s head. Even the whip crème that is placed on top is in the shape of Mickey. Most of the snack food you buy is in this shape. You can also find a Hidden Mickey while you are on The Pirates of the Caribbean. This is the perfect ride to hunt for Hidden Mickey’s because the ride is slow moving. In fact, as you’re on The Haunted Mansion ride you can find two of the Hidden Mickey’s. You have to be fast and your eyes have to focus for what you’re looking for.

The Haunted Mansion ride perhaps is one of the best rides at Disneyland. The story and the animation effects of this ride are of great detail and are amazing. The first Hidden Mickey on this ride is somewhat difficult to find. The Hidden Mickey is located on the hearse, the boarders edging is where you can find it. It’s possible to miss the Mickey shape if that’s not what you’re looking for. Paying attention to great detail is how you find Hidden Mickey’s. The second Hidden Mickey I believe is obvious. The next location is the ballroom scene where the ghosts are dancing around the room. If you look on the banquet table you see dinner plates. Sometimes the location of the place setting changes but you will always find the shape made of plates.

Another great ride is the Pirates of the Caribbean. The swashbucklers adventure where dead men tell no tales. This water ride is just the right speed so that the rider can view almost everything from all angles. The Hidden Mickey can be found towards the end of the ride. Before the ride ends the last scene of the pirates shooting aimlessly is where it’s found. Look above at the red barrels hanging from ropes. As the barrels turn you can see the Mickey shape. Hidden Mickey’s are placed in the parks purposely. The Disney imagineers are constantly adding new Mickey’s around the park to keep the fun and excitement flowing.
