Lost Hidden Mickeys of Disneyland

Disney continually updates its parks and attractions. Due to refurbishments, Hidden Mickeys are lost forever. When you notice that a Hidden Mickey was lost, please report it so that it can be remembered here.

This page is dedicated to those Hidden Mickeys lost forever in the parks and the Imagineers who created them. They may be lost in reality but they will live on in cyberspace.

General

  1. On the 1999-2000 annual passport there is a box next o Mickey's stool. There is a picture of 4 oranges.3 of the oranges make a picture of our favorite mouse.
    REPORTED: Jenny 19 NOV 01
  2. The entire outline of Disneyland was originally that of Mickey's head. Now it has changed a bit due to new park layouts (i.e. Mickey's Toontown)
    REPORTED: Ryan 22 FEB 94
    REPORTED: Melanie Freeman 08 JUN 96
  3. The new Xenostrobe 10k lights located around the park (post spring 1995) used to be programmed to create large Mickeys in the sky when the park closed every evening.
    REPORTED: Tony Crescenzo 21 FEB 96
    The lights that used to shine straight up from Videopolis (Now the Sony Theater, where Pocahontas is playing) used to form a perfect Mickey when the marine layer clouds came in.
    CONFIRMED: Ed Johnston 25 OCT 96
    The big search lights around the park are 7k Xenon Moving lights from a company called Syncrolight. These are placed around the park in five places but do not create the image of Mickey in the sky except to those with imaginations larger than Walt's. These lights were used as part of Fantasy in the sky, and are now used only as mood lighting in between the large shows. (They turn off during any of the big shows).
    WISHFUL THINKING: Jeff 26 OCT 96
  4. I worked as a Custodial busser at Disneyland from 1990-1992. I used to clean up after parades during my first summer there. During that summer in Fantasyland, they had this big cartoon promotion where thay had the streets painted with the characters from Tailspin. Because of the fact that the streets were painted a dark color, they would absorb so much heat that at the beginning of the summer, the floats would often sink and get stuck. you used to be able to see big divots in the cement where the wheels dug up in order to get out of where they were stuck. After a while, despite all the work it took to paint the charcters on the cement, they eventually just painted the entire street a lighter color so it wouldn't get so soft. One big painting was actually left half panted over so that only half of the character were visible.
    REPORTED: Jason Sherman 03 DEC 97
  5. At the pedestrian exit, there is a Hidden Mickey in the advertisement for Wonderful World of Disney. On the right of the ad is an alarm clock. The two bells mounted on top of the clock are painted black. The clock is the head and the bells are the ears. It's really easy to see just as you walk through the righthand tunnel exiting the park -- just look above the exit turnstiles.
    REPORTED: Pianoman 03 APR 98
    The Hidden Mickey in the sign at the pedestrian exit is lost. An ad for "Mulan" is up there now, and it occupies the entire sign. I imagine that Disney will put their "Wonderful World of Disney" sign back up some day, but for now this Hidden Mickey is gone.
    LOST: Pianoman 03 JUN 98
    I would just like to let you know that the Mulan ad has been changed to promote the new live action Inspector Gadget movie starring Matthew Broderick. I don't know if this means that the HM is lost forever.
    LOST: Brandon Davis 02 AUG 99
  6. On the California Adventure Prevue Center (by the Team Disney building) there is a poster advertising the second gate in Anaheim. It shows a Disney version of the Hollywood Walk of fame, with the markers being HMs instead of being stars! In the waiting area for casting, the Welcome sign has a Hidden Mickey! Not really Hidden, but few non-CM people have seen the Sorceror Mickey and the Classic Mickey signs on the wall by the Prevue Center's parking lot (Guest parking for TD building too.)
    REPORTED: Scott M. Leonard 10 JUN 97
  7. A General Information booth which resides outside the Front Entrance contains the Mickey insignia in the bar!
    REPORTED: Benjamin Rockwell 20 JAN 97
    CONFIRMED: Eric Basaker 25 MAY 97
  8. Like the report of the stroller/wheelchair sign, the same scroll work is displayed on the Express ATM sign located outside of the park to the west of the entrance.
    REPORTED: Eric Basaker 20 NOV 96
    CONFIRMED: Mitch Tatro 17 JAN 97
    I was at the Wells Fargo ATM machine and on the top of the wood that encased the machine there were 2 hidden Mickey's on either side of the yellow wood that encased the Wells Fargo Machine...that was outside the park itself near the ticket area.
    REPORTED: Jeanne 10 MAY 99
  9. At Disneyland they are selling 45 Years of Magic posters and in the top left hand corner by Peter Pan there is a hidden Mickey made out of the stars.

  13. In 1995 for the 40 year anniversary, I bought one of those huge poster-maps of the park. Yesterday, while I was looking at it, I noticed a pair of hidden Mouse ears. They were coming from the smoke of the train nearest the entrance of the park. Even more ironic, is that they're sitting right next to a Mickey Mouse flag.
    REPORTED: Chernabog 06 MAY 99
    There's one of these posters posted on the wall in the Locker Room on Main Street. It may not be up much longer since it's almost five years old.
    CONFIRMED: Brandon Davis 29 DEC 99
  14. Checkout the 45th Anniversary Poster map
    1. Smoke Mickey a definite Mickey.
    2. The trees around the Disneyland entrance -- the pattern of the 'leaves' on a few diferent trees make some Mickeys (note: I'm pretty sure these weren't intentional, but it can be seen if you're a Hidden Mickey nut):
      1. One right above "Guest Relations" at the entrance,
      2. one directly below the yellow Disneyland banner with Tinker Bell (the very left edge of the banner), and
      3. one on a tree at the left of the entrance.
    3. In front of Small World, there is a pink-colored planter box, with a tri-circle Mickey in it above the words "Small World Promenade."
    4. Directly to the right of that Small World Mickey is another one -- the little tent has a tiny Mickeyesque figure, tilted to the left.
    5. In the right top corner of the Jungle Cruise, right above the pink ribbon labeled "Main" (as in "Main Street) there are three yellow circles, two little ones and one big one.
    6. Another Jungle Cruise Mickey -- this one is located near the squirting elephants. To the left of the words "Elephant Bathing Pool" is an elephant who is squirting water straight up into the air. Directly to the left is a pile of rocks, and on one of the rocks is Mickey!
    7. This one is, to me, as convincing as the Train Smoke Mickey. It's located in the waters of what used to be the Submarine Voyage, about an inch below the green Autopia car, to the right of the Matterhorn. Three circles in the water.
    8. The hole in the middle of the Matterhorn definitely looks like a Mickey on the poster
    9. In the Rivers of America, there is a hidden Mickey in water just under the Indian boy fishing.
    10. There is a hidden Mickey on a teepee in the Rivers of America.
    11. There are several decor Mickeys on the 45th Anniversary poster. The most obvious one is the top middle of the poster with Mickey's face in the border. In addition, Mickey is also depicted in the "Partners" statue on Main Street, the entrance's Floral Mickey, Sorcerer Mickey on Tom Sawyer Island (as part of Fantasmic!), Mickey greeting guests in Toontown (next to Minnie), the Mickey fountain in Toontown (directly to the left of Minnie), Mickey balloons on Main Street, and the two Mickey flags on the Main Street station. decor

  15. I recently bought a small art plaque of Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland. It shows the scene where Aurora is picking berries. Some of the berries in her basket are in clusters which form Mickey heads. They are probably in that scene in the movie, too. If you see the art plaque (they have other movies too), look for the little Mickeys!
    REPORTED: Kate 18 APR 98
  16. I found a hidden Mickey right outside the exit of the park. Go to the exit turnstile furthest to the left. I'm not sure if this is the exact spot but I do know that there are three holes in the ground in the bottom right hand side of one of the cement squares. I think you have to walk about 10 or 15 feet from the left turn style but I am not sure.
    REPORTED: Mike LaMasa 07 AUG 98
  17. Here is a hidden Mickey found on the disneyland.com website..... in the Frontierland map. I assume it would be on the printed map too but haven't checked.

Dalmatian Celebration

  1. On the picket fence which runs across the front of the display, the Hidden Mickeys are in the Dalmatian spot design that is the basic design element for the display.
    REPORTED: anon 27 NOV 96
    Generally the spots are unusual shapes and sizes, but there are 3 spots that are circles that form the Hidden Mickey (although some of the circle falls into the gaps in the picket fence). You can definitely tell that the shapes form a Hidden Mickey.

Emporium Store

  1. At the Emporium, they currently have a Fantasia 2000 exhibit. Look at the window depicting the 'Tin Soldier' story. The clasp on the evil jack-in-the-box's box is a Mickey. It really shows up towards the end of the dancing when a light shines directly on the jack-in-the-box.
    REPORTED: Penny Ruvelas 07 AUG 00
  2. There is a Hidden Mickey in one of the Emporium windows, featuring scenes from "Tarzan." Go to the "Elephant Pool" scene, and look to the right, on the surface of the water. There is a large lily-pad,forming the head, with two smaller pads, forming the ears. There are a few other Mickey heads to the left, but not as well proportioned as the one on the right.
    REPORTED: Bruce and Debby Forrest 20 JUN 99
    The Hidden Mickey formed by the lily pads in the Tarzan Elephant Pool scene is there but will eventually be lost as new scenes are placed in the window.
    CONFIRMED: Brandon Davis 02 AUG 99
  3. In one of the Emporium windows on Main Street someone has placed an onion and two garlics to form a hidden Mickey.
    REPORTED: Ed Johnston 04 SEP 99
  4. Find the window display, outside the Main Street Emporium, that features the scene from "Mulan", where the soldiers are dressed in drag. Take a look at their lips, and you'll see our good pal Mickeys face-his head is formed by the bottom lip, and the two ears are formed by the top lip. This is also true, pertaining to the same scene in the movie.

  5. We found two possible Hidden Mickeys in the window displays in front of the Emporium. The first one is in the Little Mermaid display, where Ariel is looking at all her treasures. In the very back on the upper right hand side, there's a little Mickey statue. You won't notice it unless you look for it. The other one we found is also in a Little Mermaid display, but this one is the window to the right of the one described above. In the painted background, on the left hand side, there are three seashells that might be a hidden Mickey. Not sure about this one.
    REPORTED: Tai&Eve 02 MAR 98
  6. Emporium Diorama: "Hunchback of Notre Dame" Final scene where a little girl comes up to Quasimodo and gives him a hug, while Phoebus and Esmeralda look on. Scene takes place on the steps of the Notre Dame facade. On either side of the cathedral door are columns of little saints. On the left hand side of the door, select the row of saints that is second from the top. The third saint from the left is holding what looks like a tray or a plate to his chest. On careful scrutiny, the plate has "mouse ears". It's faint but it's there.

Crystal Arcade

  1. On the back wall is a painting of an old Emporium with a portrait of Walt in the upper right. If you look at the balloon vendor, among the many ordinary balloons is a white one shaped like Mickey (just like what they sell at Disneyland).
    REPORTED: David Tomita 10 OCT 94
    It's a balloon, in a group of balloons, on the left side of the mural. It's the traditional mouse ears balloon shape like they sell at Disneyland but very subtle, hidden, but definitely intentional. It's brilliant.

    CONFIRMED: Brad C Willoughby 02 APR 96
    Tried to find the painting in Crystal Arcade last friday but it's gone. Cast Members told me it wasn't covered up but peeled off the wall by someone, rolled up and carted away. They didn't know who it was. Called Decorations ("We never throw ANYTHING away!") and they sent me to paints. Paints sent me to signs, where I spoke with Cindy, pictorial foreperson, who told me she had made the painting and she was sure there were no HMs in it. I read her the reports and she said she would unroll it and look. The painting is safe. She's holding it in storage for possible future use. If they had left it in place, the modifications they were making to the wall would have damaged it. Also, while we're on the subject of "moving things", the elephant is gone from the penny arcade. I'm told it's in storage because they needed the room for a plush stand. Lots of folks have asked about it, so it may not be gone all that long. Thanks for your devotion to this very interesting topic. I'll keep in touch.
    UPDATE: Ed Johnston 08 JUN 96
    Mural is gone because of the recent renovation to the Emplorium.
    CONFIRMED: Eric Basaker 25 JUN 96
  2. In the painting on back wall with "balloon vendor", my wife also found what may be the smallest Hidden Mickey in existence. To the right of the balloons, underneath the "N" in San Francisco, you can see inside the restaurant. Only shadows are visible, but you can distinctly see a boy's head with a Mickey hat with ears on it! It's very small, but very obvious that it's no fluke. Is it possible this is the smallest Hidden Mickey that's been found?

  1. Two Mickeys found in a painting. Behind the big wooden Mickey that stands in a corner of the shop, there is a picture on the wall from 101 Dalmatians. Look in the circular archway above the two people and the priest. It is full of tiny Mickey heads . Also, look at the male dog in the picture ("pongo" I think is his name). His right arm, near the shoulder, has a Hidden Mickey in the form of black spots, as all Dalmatians have.
    REPORTED: Michael Martin 30 APR 96
  2. This cell is currently located in Disneyana, above the South Door, near the "Stained Glass Wedding" picture. Upon closeup you will note a similar pattern on the puppy on the left. Also a couple of upside down Hidden Mickeys on the guy on the right, but for the most part, you stick a bunch of circles like this somewhere, and you are likely to find a bunch of Hidden Mickeys!
    REPORTED: Benjamin Rockwell 09 SEP 96
    Wishful thinking, the 101 Dalmatians picture is four circles not three and they are all the same size.

Plaza Inn Restaurant

  1. Immediately inside the women's room (sorry guys!), there is a picture hanging on the wall. It is a picture of the entrance of the restaurant. The Hidden Mickey is in the lower right corner as a part of the floor design. I was so excited to find it but I was with my husband and couldn't show it to him due to its location!

Light Magic Parade

Phsst: Fun Facts

Closed 6 January 1996

  1. On the signs advertising the new Light Magic parade that you see hanging above the arches as you exit the park, there is a "swoosh" of light that travels from one side of the sign to the other. Watch that swoosh; it forms a Mickey profile. My friend Scott spotted this, and we had to watch the sign do its thing a couple of times before we could be sure, so you might have to do the same.
    REPORTED: Stephanie Smith 16 OCT 96
    I can definitely confirm this for the sign on the West side of the Main Street Station. It's nice and clear on this sign, and you have to look for it, but once you see it, there is no question. However, the sign on the East side doesn't appear quite the same way and while we could make out a partial Hidden Mickey in the same spot, I don't think it was quite complete.
    CONFIRMED: Benjamin Rockwell 10 NOV 96
    CONFIRMED: Tom & Rob 04 JAN 97
    The Light Magic sign, which is now gone, definately had a Hidden Sorcerer Mickey appear as the stars came down over the case (I believe he's even holding the wand). It shows up best at night. Another factor is if you look at the castle near where Mickey appears, something doesn't look right. I can't tell what, but maybe one of the spires is different.
    CONFIRMED: Michael Campisi 12 DEC 96
    I wanted to confirm the report of the Hidden Sorcerer Mickey in the Light Magic signs. This Mickey is not really lost as one of these signs is at the Disneyland Hotel. Although I don't know how long it will be there. The Mickey is definitely there. I've seen it several times.

  6. The new Light Magic western seating area at the Small World Mall. The larger east side is still being built. Notice the large shrubs behind the seating area: there is a walkway behind these shrubs. Good planning, because you can't even see the parade from the walkway; no more of the gawker's block that plagued the Lion King and MSE Parades.
    REPORTED: Scott M. Leonard 08 APR 97
  7. I was watching Light Magic and I found out that we were sitting right behind the Imagineer for the fiber optics. He told me a couple of things:
    1. They are working on perfecting a blue fairy image (in tribute to the MSEP) in the startup of the fiber optic sequences.
    2. There are Hidden Mickey's in the fiber optics, however to see them, your best bet is to video tape the float, and then move frame by frame.

    REPORTED: Benjamin Rockwell 30 AUG 97
  8. When they raise the screens on the floats and Tinkerbell comes up and flys around, look for when her fairy dust changes into many colors. The Hidden Mickey is made of yellow for the head and purple for the ears.
    REPORTED: Lauren & Erin Ferreira 14 MAY 97
    I looked just at that part when watching it my first time and there was absolutely no Hidden Mickeys made from the path behind Tinkerbell.
    WISHFUL THINKING: Eric Basaker 25 MAY 96
    Too bad we got beaten to this, but we definitely saw the Mickey in the pixie dust too! We'll try to get you a picture soon.
    CONFIRMED: Steve and Courtney Atkins 26 MAY 97
    The one with Tinkerbell's fairy dust is very, very much a Hidden Mickey. When looking for when it happens it comes alive right after the scene of Michael and Wendy watching the ship fly away. That should help to clarify where it is for those who think this hidden Mickey is wishful thinking.
    CONFIRMED: Chris Case 16 JUL 97
  9. On each of the floats (towards the forward facing direction, on each side), there are "acorns" or "nuts" or whatever, that the characters use as drums towards the end of the show.Ê These items light up with the drum playing in the show.Ê Anyway, the RED ones (not the yellow) are consisted of one large one, with two smaller ones over them.

    The Hidden Mickey on the wall at the Carnation Ice Cream Parlor doesn't look quite as Mickey-esque when viewed from straight on, because the ears are so high and far away from the head. It does look like it was probably done on purpose, though, so I'm not at all ready to discount it...

    While standing in line you will pass a scene where there is a chess board on top of a barrel. Once you pass the scene for the second time, look to the left of the chess board. There are three coconuts that may form a Hidden Mickey, but the ears may be too big.

    The scene has been disturbed. The chess board is still there, but the various pieces are currently missing, with only a few pieces on the board currently (it used to be almost a full set, maybe about 5-7 moves into the game). Along with this particular change, the room appears a bit different, and the coconuts have been disturbed, and now do not really look like a Hidden Mickey.

  2. When I worked at the park, circa 1989-90, we Jungle Cruise skippers had a small stuffed Mickey that we would hide throughout the jungle. Intent upon breaking the other skippers concentration by making each other crack up mid-spiel, we'd put Mickey in the craziest places possible. Some Jungle Mickey locations were as follows: Peeking out from behind the dead zebra, on the falls behind 'Bertha', on the lap of the suicidal gorilla, hanging from a natives drum, at Trader Sams feet, and my favorite, sticking out of the backpack of the uppermost pole climber at the rhinos mercy. This kind of behavior would probably not go over well nowadays. Also, there was a spider monkey left over from the original J.C. that we did the same thing with. You can probably still find him but he is real hard to see. He hangs from his tail and is dark brown and kind of mossy as he has spent the last 4o something years in the jungle. The last place I saw him was hanging from a limb above the left shoulder of the tusked elephant that appears to be climbing out of the bathing pool to reach some tastier tree on shore. Happy hunting!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

  1. In Big Thunder Mountain, in the Earthquake (or dynamite room- whatever) right before the drop, there was a rockslide above your head. It was really cheesy-looking with just two small rocks coming down in slow-motion. Well they've changed the effect! Now instead of the cheesy little rocks falling down, you see a projection on the back wall behind where the rocks were of silhouettes of rocks falling and creating a cave in. Much cooler and more realistic! There's also some kind of fiber- optic effect that I think is supposed to look like gold. The first effect is really cool but the second fiber-optic effect seems out of place and just unnecessary.
    REPORTED: Tony O'Bryan 14 MAR 97
    The falling rocks scene has been changed again. First it was removed for over a month with only that cheesy fiber-optic gold effect remaining. Now the projection has been replaced with a similar one. The old one had about four rocks stack onto eachother with a klacking noise. This new one is totally realistic with several rocks bouncing off eachother at the same time as they fall. It looks more natural and convincing, the way real rocks would fall.

    REPORTED: Eric Basaker 18 FEB 96
    The cow, Mickey Moo, passed away in March of 1993. I don't understand, even being a city boy myself, why some people keep referring to Mickey Moo as a "he". Sorta reminds me of the Department of Agriculture back in the fifties, when they tried to get third world countries to use American animal husbandry techniques. They used a "before" and "after" picture of an animal for an example. One of the farmers was incredulous, asking the case worker for his district if it were really true that using American methods would turn his sickly cows into strong sturdy bulls.

  6. As you enter the scene with the two dueling pirate ships, the ship to the left has a Hidden Mickey. As the captain of the ship turns and brandishes his sword, the silhouette of his head and hat on the mainsail makes a Hidden Mickey. It is best viewed when you first approach the ship and it is hard to photograph. If you turn around as you leave the battle scene and almost enter the next room, the shape is perfect on the other side of the sail. Its especially blatant at Disneyland and it's also effective at Walt Disney World. Timing is key. The pirate is a moving figure, so his shadow only makes a hidden Mickey when he turns the right way.

    Note: I am no longer taking reports on this one unless there is a refurb and the Imagineers change this effect.
    The hidden Mickey from the Pirate Captain's hat shadow on the sail has been modified so that, I believe, as the shadow moves, it now creates silhouettes of both Donald and Goofy as well as Mickey. For a while, I even thought I saw Pluto, but thatâs pretty doubtful.

    Recently, Disneyland refurbished the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It officially re-opened on October 29, 1999.

    Toward the end of the Pirates of the Carribean, the three barrels hanging above your head are no wishful thinking. First, when you look backward at them, there is no hidden Mickey, as the barrels are not stacked in a neat, parralel pile. Also, imagine (in reality) how difficult it would be to arrange three barrels in a sling with one on the bottom and two on top - the natural thing to do would have been to stack the barrels two on the bottom and one on top and then hoist the arrangement upward. Thus it would have been an upside-down Mickey had it not been intentional.

In the town scene where there is a drunken pirate sitting on the ledge above the boats with a parrot sitting close by on his right, about ten feet to the pirate's left there is a window set up a little off the ground. It is up on the level of the ledge above the other drunken pirate who is sitting with the pigs. If you watch under the windows above the pigs you can make out shadows on the wall below the window of two people dueling (if you listen you can hear the fight going on as well) when the two duelists seem to charge each other, the shadows combine to make a pretty big Mickey head. It turns around and then the shadows break apart and become the duelists again. This scene lasts about 15 seconds so if you watch as soon as you come around the corner you can see it twice.

Rufus the Snoring Bear is still in Critter Country; he has been incorporated into Splash Mountain. During the ride, as your log approaches the first drop, you pass a cave on the right with a mail box that reads "Br'er Bear." If you listen carefully, you can hear a loud snoring coming from behind the closed door of the cave. I believe it is the same snoring used for Rufus.

    Before Splash Mountain and Critter Country, it was called Bear Country in honor of the Bear Country Jamboree. There was little to do as an adult in Bear Country other than going to the arcade or watching the animatronic musical. One neat thing was there was a cave high up on a hill covered in ivy and there was a sign saying "Sleeping Bear - Quiet!" There was a sound track with nothing but loud snoring and a few yawns and grunts. Funny as it was, that was probably the quietest part in the park as guest would not want to wake up the bear.

    Regarding the Toontown Hidden Mickey in front of Goofy's house, it's not there anymore! I reported it originally. I wonder what happened to it, but nevertheless, it's gone now.
    UPDATE: Jeff 21 MAR 94
  3. Although it isn't there anymore, when Toontown originally opened if you looked in Mickey's trophy case where the heart pillow is, beneath the pillow there used to be a pamphlet with the words,"Mickey's Speakeasy" on it. since they have remodeled the case it is no longer there.

  1. On the Sony Pictures presents "Fantasyland Theatre" sign for the Pocahontas show, there are Hidden Mickeys above the signs in the gold trim. Tilt your head 45 degrees.
    REPORTED: Kirby Lim 20 JAN 97
    In the Sony Presents sign for the Pocahontas stage production, there is a gold frame of circles on the top and bottom of the sign. These circles form HMs.
    CONFIRMED: Kirby Lim 13 JUN 97
  2. In the Spirit of Pocahontas stage there are three rock formations on the bottom of the stage that look like Mickey"s head. The formation is to the left of center stage when viewing from the front row.
    REPORTED: Jennifer 27 OCT 96
    The rocks in the Fantasyland theatre are a hidden Mickey. We saw them, but it's better if you look at it from an angle. If you look at them straight forward one of the ears is deformed.
    CONFIRMED: Mendy and Allie 02 DEC 96
    Pocahontas has this Hidden Mickey, but I'll note that it's best viewed at an angle. From head on, which is almost a 45 degree angle to the stage, it does look a little flattened. There are no similar rock designs in the surrounding areas.
    REPORTED: Benjamin Rockwell 20 JAN 97
  3. When you go to the Fantasyland theater walk back to where tables are and look at the VERY back trash can. The some of the bolts that are 3 together make a Mickey!

Matterhorn

  1. The Skyway hole is a documented Hidden Mickey. The other side of the Matterhorn contains a special Tea Cup handle that is visible from the Tea Cup ride. This was added when the Skyway holes were patched.
    REPORTED: TF1050 28 APR 95
    It's very painful and difficult for me to say that there are no more Skyway holes in the mountain. After all, Walt did say the reason was because it was a "Swiss" mountain.
    NOTE: Steven Soria 29 APR 95
    There was a report about the holes in the Matterhorn as being documented Hidden Mickey. I will have to agree with the person that said there were no more holes in the Matterhorn. This is because they closed the Skyway a year and a half ago.

  1. The drums in the percussion float seem to make a Hidden Mickey. Maybe I was just daydreaming, but every time I see the parade I see it.
    REPORTED: Dan the Trivia Man 14 AUG 96

  2. On the skin of each croc, just behind the head and at the base of the neck was a Mickey. Both crocs had it. Even when they got new skins it was still there. And it was confirmed by at least half of the dancers in the parade. As a bit of triva the stage right croc was called blue eyes, and stage left was called brown eyes. Sometimes they called Old Blue, and Brownie. We had one heck of a time driving these! But what a blast.

Submarine Voyage

Note: Submarine Voyage was closed on the 9 September 1998

Phsst: Fun Facts

  1. Sometimes on weekends and late in the day, the line for the Tomorrowland Monorail station can wrap all the way around the submarine lagoon towards the Fantasyland Autopia. About halfway between the station and the Fantasyland Autopia there is a hidden Mickey located in the lagoon. At this location there is an outcropping of coral between the edge of the lagoon and the tracks for the submarines. There are three to four crabs on this outcropping and one of them has a blue Mickey's Head on the back of its shell.
    REPORTED: John Bode 22 SEP 96
    I saw two large crabs with definite circles painted on their backs, one large and two small each. They are visible only from above and not from inside the subs themselves. The crabs are underwater, about two - three feet down. Both of them are white and one has blue circles, while the other has red. This has been a tough one to photograph, though it's easy to see if you know where to look. The water is turbulent because of the constant passage of the subs. This is the one I call the blue crab (the other, next to it, is the brown one). They are actually both white, but one has blue highlights and the other has brown. The Hidden Mickeys have been painted on with a large circle and two smaller circles, the smaller circles of each crab facing the opposing crab.

    Took a monorail ride today and went over the crabs. I noted that on the side opposite the viewing site there are hidden Mickeys painted on the crabs. So there are hidden Mickeys both where you can see them from the line AND where you can see them from the monorail. Now, why didn't I think of this before? Too bad they will, along with the submarine ride, be taken out.
    UPDATE: Ed Johnston 01 SEP 98
  2. After you pass the city of atlantis, there is a big rock that you pass if you are sitting on the left(port) side of the submarine. The rock has two small circles that stick out which form Mickey's ears, and below them there is a larger circle that is indented which forms Mickey's head. I don't know if there is one on the right side.
    REPORTED: anon 01 APR 97
  3. Just as you past the Atlantis scene, there are three gold coins, forming a Hidden Mickey near the bottom right of your window...but, there may be more than one track, because my sister-in-law and tried to find it the second time, but it was a different set-up!

Circle-Vision

Circle-Vision closed October 1997

  1. According to a Cast Member, Walt Disney is reported to be in "America the Beautiful" on 6 different scenes. I am told that 3 of the occassions are:
    1. Entering the New England town he is rumored to be on the left side, on a rocking chair in a backyard of one of the homes. This is supposed to only be a couple of seconds.
    2. As you are in the Hawaii University (or Univ Honolulu?) Walt and Roy are sitting on a bench or something on the very back screen, Walt is wearing a straw hat. This one is quite obvious if you pay attention.
      CONFIRMED: Benjamin Rockwell 30 AUG 97
      Walt and his wife are in a black car somewhere behind the moving camera.
      Now I think that Walt might be in the scene where you are moving towards the Liberty Bell. Look off to the left. A guy walks along, looks at the camera, casually glances at something to his right, and the looks at the camera again. He looks a lot like Walt, and even has a stance like Walt's, but I am told it isn't him.

Magic Eye Theatre featuring Captain EO

Phsst: Fun Facts

Captain EO closed 6 April 1997

  1. On Captain EO, there is a Hidden Mickey on the back of the spaceship as it flies away from you. The back of the spaceship is shown many times and is easy to notice. It is formed with the four engines, this way when it turns upside down, which it also does, it also forms a hidden Mickey. It also forms a Hidden Mickey when flying straight.
    REPORTED: Eric Basaker 24 JAN 96
    CONFIRMED: Andrew Blanchette 14 MAR 96
    The reported hidden Mickey on Captain Eo's ship made of the engines is definitely wishful thinking. There are two large engines, and two small engines, so as one reporter stated, unless Mickey has two heads, a hidden Mickey it ain't.
    WISHFUL THINKING: J.J. Julian 29 JAN 97
    The engines on the back of the spaceship in Captain Eo do not make up a Hidden Mickey. This is the same thing as the Snow White poster in the tunnel into Main Street. 4 circles around a bigger one make not a Hidden Mickey.
    WISHFUL THINKING: Theresa Kyame 07 FEB 97
  2. Captain EO is going to be closed soon, and before it goes for good, I want to add what will perhaps be its last "Hidden Mickey." It's reported that Hidden Mickey is on the spacecraft, but that consists of two large ports and two small ones. If you ignore the upper large one then you have a Hidden Mickey. Either that or Mickey is a two-headed creature.

    I think I have a better one. The main dance takes place on a large circle. At certain points the camera angle is such that the pillar to the right of the screen and the one above and to the right of the circle form a large circle with two smaller circles, in the shape of our illustrious friend. Captain EO has been there for ten years now, a long time in the Disney scheme of things. Surprising it lasted as long as it has.

It takes a second to tell who it is. I believe it was through the left door when Aladdin says something like "Choose brains or brawn." This is probably the same at Disney World since that's where the game first was. This is for real.

Adventures thru Inner Space

  1. There was a Hidden Mickey in the form of an atom. I distinctly remember while going though the ride, there was a room full of these blue molecules. They were Mickey shaped balloons that were floating and turning slowly. I remember (as I was a small child at the time) my cousins and I saying that they looked like a Mickey Mouse head. It's a shame they shut the ride down. Even though I admit it was kinda slow and boring it was part of my childhood and I miss it dearly. I wish I had a picture of the ride or something but when you're a kid you never think that you will miss something as you grow up. Anyway, the ride was at Disneyland in Anaheim,California... In Tomorrowland where Star Tours now stands... They still used part of Adventures thru Inner Space as the the Star Tours ride, and as you get on Star Tours you can notice where the old adventures thru Inner Space parts used to be...
    REPORTED: Johnny Mendoza 10 JUN 96
    The reason they looked like Mickey's is that they represented H20 molecules with two small hydrogen atoms attached to a larger oxygen atom. These were not really Hidden Mickeys. However, you can still see the famous Mighty Microscope that the Inner Space ride vehicles entered at the begining of the attraction. It appears very briefly in the space station scene in the Star Tours film. Look for it in the upper right hand side of the screen as the robot guides the spacecraft through the inside of the space station.

Look at the second clump of clouds from the left. In the lower right-hand corner of the clump, the shape looks like an actual Mickey face silhouette turned slightly to one side.

In the wee hours of the morning before guest arrived, technicians would hand paint all of the individual targets. The guns were quite capable of causing bodily damage, hence they were tethered to a support rail that control cross fire. Occassionally, a lead shot did ricochet. The attraction host always wore protective glasses and ear plugs. In the early 80s, one young ingnorant guest decided to put his finger in front of the gun while firing it to "see what would happen" and received an injury that was minor
