I was sitting at the entrance of Downtown Disney waiting to exit and noticed the entrance sign had two big metal columns and each were made of a stainless looking metal with nothing but circles that could make thousands of little hidden Mickeys.
REPORTED: Doris Ergle 23 JUN 01
There are hidden Mickeys made up of flowers! The gardeners plant them in such arangements. They obviously are temporary Mickeys as the flowers grow and die but they are there after each replanting and they are beautiful! Many of the flower pots in Downtown Disney have this same grouping of flowers.
REPORTED: Debby Daher 03 JUN 99
In the entrance at the base of the arches there are two lights with a flower pot in between (on each of the arch bases). If you walk over to them and look at them directly from above, the flower pot makes Mickey's head and the lights make Mickey's ears.
REPORTED: Karen Sullivan 15 OCT 95
You have to go to a lot of trouble (and blind yourself with the lights) to see this. It's weak at best. We're calling it...

Between Ghiradelli's and the World of Disney (closer to World of Disney)are some very modern looking stained glass light sources with lots of overlapping circles on them. We were only there after dark but it was obvious that many of these overlapping circles were actually Mickeys.

Fun Fountains
At the main entrance there is a "flat" fountain (in warmer weather you can usually find kids playing in it), that is in the shape of a three-circle Mickey. It's easiest to see when either the water is shooting up or at night, when its lights are on. The fountain found in the Downtown Disney Marketplace actually shoots water up in the shape of Mickey's head every few minutes. You have to be quick in order to see it. Seen on Inside Out.

UPDATE: Stephen Jablonski 15 MAY 99
A cleverly hidden Mickey appears in the main water fountain at Disney Marketplace. The water jets are on a timer and every so often a Mickey head will form and hang in mid-air for a second or two. Check out the pattern of water jets in the concrete for a clue to the water's eventual shape.
