From Wikipedia- A Hidden Mickey is a subtle formation of a silhouette of the head of Mickey Mouse and his two ears, a more complete representation of Mickey Mouse (such as Mickey mixed in with a crowd or in the background), or a representation of another character (such as the huge hidden Jafar at the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail in Africa in the Animal Kingdom). Mickeys may be painted, made up of objects (such as rocks, or three plates on a table), or be references such as someone wearing Mickey Mouse Club ears in a painting.
When the shape of Mickey Mouse is used as an obvious part of the design, such as Mickey ears on the top of lampposts, it is considered decorative. A true Hidden Mickey is one that is not obviously meant to be seen, such as when a Disney artist places the shape of Mickey in a context that would normally not contain Mickey Mouse.
Hidden Mickeys are slipped into animation cels in nearly all Disney animated classics, hidden in architecture and attractions in Disney parks and resorts and studio buildings and many other Disney related features.
Hidden Mickeys are part of a Magical day at Walt Disney World. If you look closely they are there.. In the Mexico ride at Epcot all the way to the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom..

Carrie I plan on doing this with the kids when we go, I think standing in lines playing a games will be fun and maybe cut down on the whinning.
This is fun! I have a whole book just filled of Hidden Mickey's! Some are impossible to find even when you "know" where to find them! Good luck on your next trip with this Mickeyspal and family! It can be a lot of fun!
