Disney continually updates its parks and attractions. Due to anniversaries, 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
When entering the property you are greeted by the huge 25th anniversary logo saying welcome... And at the characters, if you notice that there is no female character like Minne or TinkerBell like on t-shirts and mugs also Donald is repeated twice.

While enjoying your vacation in the Walt Disney World parks, you may notice
many Hidden Mickeys. However, some of the most noticeable Hidden
Mickeys are hardly ever noticed. One such Hidden Mickey is the 25th anniversary logo.
Cinderella's coach in the 25th anniversary logo is a stylized,
upside-down Hidden Mickey. The carriage, including its wheels, make a
Hidden Mickey.
You can find the logo everywhere: on the 25th anniversary merchandise, such as cups, for sale in the shops, 25th anniversary advertisements, Walt Disney World's Web site, and even on the Cast Members' 25th
Anniversary name tags. So, the next time you purchase that memorable souvenir at the
parks...stop and take a good look. REPORTED: B 30 AUG 96

This is one of the rare cases where the proportions are not correct, but the coach does form a "stylized" Mickey as noted in the original submission above. It looks like more people think it is one than not. Believe me, I'd be the first one to call "wishful thinking!"

I noticed that the 25th Anniversary napkins are a hidden Mickey. The napkin displays Cinderella's carriage and has the 25th Anniversary symbol in it. When turned upside down you notice the two wheels form Mickey's ears and the carriage itself is Mickey's head.

If you walk past the front of Cinderella's Cake, on the far right is a Hidden Mickey made of icing. The icing is white with pink lines in it. It runs in a straight line around the castle, but drops down to form Mickey's head, then goes back up again to form his other ear. You have to see it at an angle.

IllumiNations has some changes for the 25th Anniversary. The name will now be called
"IllumiNations 25."
The show is divided into three acts and has a Hidden Mickey in it:
Act 1 - honors the countries and the guests representing them.
Act 2 - Future World and the promise of discovery
Act 3 - The Circle of Life honoring the way we all live together
Illuminations 25 has changed quite a bit - the voice narration is gone, and
the "Circle of Life" finale has been replaced by several classical
selections. The show still is similiar in style to the original
Illuminations 25 which started in October, but has changed significantly.
UPDATE: Josef Faulkner 27 MAY 97
Illuminations 25 has indeed been changed. The opening greeting
from each country remains the same, but from that point on drastic changes
abound. The entire soundtrack has been replaced, but oddly enough not the
waterscreen images. The new classical soundtrack is very badly pieced
together, in what is an obvious attempt to "fit" the original show's laser
program. Also, the amount of fireworks has been cut back severly. The
stunning finale of the show "Circle of Life" is gone, with the new ending
just fizzles. I am a fan of both the original Illuminations and
Illuminations 25, but am very dissappointed by this "new" show.

At night the Contemporay upper floor lights now form a giant 25. REPORTED: Ed Cambut 21 OCT 96
CONFIRMED: Robert and Deborah Peters 17 MAR 97
It is true that the lights make up a 25 for the 25th anniversary. However, there are some variations. During Christmas there were only red and green lights, while on the 4th of July there were red, white and blue lights. And if you want one of the lightbulbs, stay in the tower and you can get one. The best way is to hang over the balcony with your feet inter-twined with the balcony guard rail. Not like I would know or anything....

If you look at the Contempory from the Magic Kingdom at night you will notice white and red lights on each room of the resort. and if you look even closer you will see that the red lits form a 25 for the 25th anniversary. REPORTED: scott cimakosky 01 JUL 97

Wishful Thinking
Cinderella Castle
For Walt Disney World's 25th anniversary they have turned Cinderella Castle into a "Castle Cake." There is a Hidden Mickey that involves the giant clock on the castle and the two candles that are right underneath it. This shows up real good at night time when the flames of the candles make Mickey's glowing ears and the clock is his head. This is an upside down Mickey Mouse head. REPORTED: Scott Baker 18 NOV 96

Close, but not quite. The "flames" on the "candles" (actually, they're the numbers "2" and "5") aren't round, they're more tear-drop or comma shaped. The flames are also a little bit too big (not in proportion).
WISHFUL THINKING: Melanie Emmons 25 APR 97
the "Mickey" on the castle cake made from the clock and candles is wishful thinking. the "ears" don't touch the "head" and they are tear droped shaped not round.
