Spotting Hidden Mickeys is a great fun, free activity at Disney World. It’s also a great distraction when waiting in standby lines and for distracting tired hot children. There are some great Hidden Mickeys at Magic Kingdom to discover. When you spot them, it does get quite addictive to try and spot even more.
What Is A Hidden Mickey?
The definition of a Hidden Mickey is a partial or complete image of Mickey Mouse that has been adapted or hidden by the Disney Imagineers. These hidden Disney images have been cleverly created and designed to blend into the background, and not all of them are obvious at all at first glance.
Many people have their own interpretation of what a Hidden Mickey is and that’s fine. There is no hard and fast rule as to what may be an official Hidden Mickey and what won’t be.
