By his definition, a Hidden Mickey is \u201ca partial or complete image of Mickey Mouse that has been hidden by Disney\u2019s Imagineers and artists in the designs of Disney attractions, hotels, restaurants, and other area\u201d (pg.11). This practice is thought to have begun in the late 70\u2019s or early 80\u2019s when Epcot was being designed but Disney management wanted to restrict characters only to the Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>While the book and concept refers to Hidden Mickeys specifically, Barrett points out that there are Hidden Minnies, Goofys, Donalds, and even many less common characters (i.e. there is a Hidden Jafar in the gorilla area of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2014\/04\/deeper-look-pangani-forest-exploration-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pangani Forest Exploration Trail<\/a> at Disney&#8217;s Animal Kingdom).<\/p>\n<p>As for the Mickey shapes go, there are side profiles, handprints, and other references, but the most common kind of Mickey is the \u201cclassic\u201d Mickey, or the three overlapping circles representing Mickey\u2019s head. This is, however, also the most controversial, or what Barrett calls the \u201cGray Zone.\u201d Essentially, circles are common and not every collection of three circles can be considered a Hidden Mickey. Moreover, Disney does not have an official list of \u201cImagineer-Approved\u201d Hidden Mickeys to settle differences of opinion. As such, he outlines his criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purposeful<\/li>\n<li>Proportionate sizes (head larger than ears)<\/li>\n<li>Round or at least \u201croundish\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The ears don\u2019t touch each other, and the ears are above the head<\/li>\n<li>The head and ears touch or are close to touching<\/li>\n<li>The grouping of circles is exceptional or unique in appearance<\/li>\n<li>The circles are hidden or somewhat hidden and not obviously intended to be part of the d\u00e9cor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With that in mind, a few examples:<\/p>\n<p>This is on the entrance mural to Living with the Land, it is definitely a Hidden Mickey and included in the book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-land-mural.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-land-mural-400x308.jpg\" alt=\"Living with the Land\" width=\"400\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-land-mural-400x308.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-land-mural.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a pile of cannonballs from Pirates of the Caribbean.

To find the 1200+ Mickeys in Walt Disney World, Barrett has set up six scavenger hunts, one for each of the four major parks, one for the hotels, and one for everything else. He says he has designed the clues for maximum efficiency, so when you look at what he is asking you to do, it might not make sense on its own as a touring strategy, but in order to see as many Mickeys as possible, it will make sense. Some if this is especially true because of the volume of Hidden Mickeys can be found in standby queues that you cannot see from the Fastpass line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-buzz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-buzz-400x393.jpg\" alt=\"Buzz\" width=\"400\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-buzz-400x393.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-buzz.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-pole.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, each of these scavenger hunts is divided into \u201cclues\u201d and \u201chints.\u201d The hints will tell you essentially exactly where to look while the clues are sometimes a puzzle to solve.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you are riding Kilamanjaro Safaris, you might see Clue 22: Observe the island in the flamingo pond (pg. 154). If you weren\u2019t sure what that meant, you could read Hint 22: In elephant country, and about halfway through the ride, the island in the flamingo pond is shaped like a classic Hidden Mickey. It\u2019s to the left of your ride vehicle (pg. 170). When you got there you would see this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-flamingo-island.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-flamingo-island-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Flamingo Island\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-flamingo-island-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-flamingo-island.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or if you were starting the Resort Hotel Scavenger Hunt, you might see Clue 2: Find a classic Mickey on a mural between the outer and inner entrance doors to the main lobby (pg. 189). If you were having trouble finding it you could flip to Hint 2: On the right wall mural between the outer and entrance doors to the main lobby, an orange and brown creature sports a classic Mickey in a circle on its mid back (pg. 213). At that point you would see this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-akl-animal-pattern.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-akl-animal-pattern-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"AKL animal\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-akl-animal-pattern-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-akl-animal-pattern.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The guide is also set up as a game, with each Hidden Mickey given a point value from 1-5, with one being easy to find and five being more challenging. If you are looking for a way to mix up your vacation, or have competitive pre-teens, playing this game could be a fun and engaging use of time. As I was searching for Mickey\u2019s on my last trip, I saw several adults doing the same, but was also struck by the number of middle school-aged boys on a mission with the guide in hand. I think there is great appeal here for boys and girls of all ages, but it might strike a particular nerve with that demographic.<\/p>\n<p>As Barrett warns, Hidden Mickeys are constantly changing, some because of remodels and some because of seasonal attractions. For example, if you visited the Osbourne Lights, you would have seen a ton a small Mickey heads mixed into the display.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-osbourne.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-osbourne-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Osbourne Lights\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-osbourne-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-osbourne.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like wise, at many of the gingerbread houses that are displayed around the holidays, you can find a multitude of Hidden Mickeys, and they are often even listed as ingredients by the display so you know how many to look for. Can you spot one on this carousel horse from the Beach Club?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-bc-carousel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-bc-carousel-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"BC Carousel\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-bc-carousel-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-bc-carousel.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For these changes and seasonal additions, you can also check out Barrett\u2019s website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiddenmickeyguy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HiddenMickeyGuy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A word of warning, once you go down the Hidden Mickey path, you will see them everywhere, and this book will not always be able to settle those disputes. For example, Hint 22 for the Animal Kingdom Lodge states \u201c Many small classic Mickey\u2019s can be found in the carpet in front of guestrooms\u201d (pg.216). This is most assuredly true \u2013 however, how many levels of Hidden Mickeys can you see here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-carpet-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-carpet-3-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"AKL all carpet\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-carpet-3-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-carpet-3.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But that is really part of the fun, the Imagineers and other Cast Members really seem to embrace the Hidden Mickey concept (you should look up the very cool Mickey that can be found in the entrance queue to Under the Sea \u2013 Journey of the Little Mermaid&#8230;but warning, when looking for it in the parks, know that it only appears once a year), and that much attention to theming that many people might not even see is one of the many things that makes Walt Disney World a special place to visit. While I tried to pay attention to all of that before, going on the Hidden Mickey journey has started making me pay even more attention in the parks, because you never know when you will find a Mickey.<\/p>\n<p>Under your feet:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tim-0109-hidden-mickey-carpet-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
