Rafiki's Planet Watch

Stuffed Animals

Wildlife Express to Africa Train Ride

1. In the Rafiki's Planet Watch Train Station, there are 6 hidden Mickey's in the rafters where the cross-beams connect. It is part of the construction.
   REPORTED: Rachel H. 24 APR 98
   While waiting at the train station when leaving the Rafiki's Planet Watch, take a look up to the cross beams in magenta. The "plates" that connect the beams form soft curves that form a perfect Hidden Mickey.
   CONFIRMED: Laura DeVivo 24 APR 98
   In the train station itself are a few hidden Mickeys in the pink rafters. There are cables that diagonally conect the Mickey ears to other beams. The three circles are divided by beams making them implied circles, but its very obvious that the cable fasteners do not need to be these shapes.

   Talked to the artist and he does not know how many there are.
   UPDATE: TR Shaw 10 MAY 98
   We have found 83 in the Rafiki's Planet Watch
   UPDATE: James G. Juneman and Kevin Timm 04 JUN 98
   After hearing of the rumors that there are at least 40-100 hidden Mickeys in the Rafiki's Planet Watch Mural (when you walk into the building), I had to see for myself. When my boyfriend and I walked in, we were floored.. We had to look through all of those animals!!! We stopped one of the CMs that was there (her button said supervisor so I take it that she knew what she was talking about), and she said that "OFFICIALLY" there are 26 hidden mickeys on the mural itself and that any others were just "made up or wishful thinking". We found 17 out of the 26 and video taped each one. So... by all terms, Disney officially recognizes 26 of the Mickeys on that mural.
   UPDATE: Sandra R. 14 MAR 00
   When you enter the building at Rafiki's Planet Watch there is a changing sign in front of you. To the right, toward the restrooms, the mural continues. There in the eye of one of the creatures is a hidden Mickey. See if you can find it. I did!
