Hidden Mickeys




We took advantage of a day off last week and headed for an overnight Disney trip with Gary. We spent the night at the Californian. It is such a nice hotel, the kids love the bunkbeds. and so convenient. Our room looked over the private entrance into Disney’s California Park. Within a few hours of arriving, we had done Soarin’, Screamin’, The Carousel, The Tortilla and Bread Factories, Alice, Teacup, Space Mtn, Buzz Lightyear, Thunder Mtn and Nemo. It really is so nice to go when it’s not that crowded. For you Buzz competitors, Gary holds the high score in our family- around 550,000.
My new hobby at Disneyland is looking for Hidden Mickey’s. I actually bought the guide book to help spot them. It’s fun finding them and the kids like looking for them too. We even found a hidden tinker bell.
The "logo" for the Californian hotel includes a hidden Mickey. There are 3 on Pirates! So next time you go to Disneyland, see if you can find them.

Hidden Mickeys are not always hidden. According to this guy they are purposely left on the ride or in the line and must meet the requirements of classic (proportional head and ears)or silhoutte mickey...they are not part of decor- such as mickeys on trash cans/napkins, etc. Some of them are obvious, but in this book, most are not.

sounds like fun! Don't you love it when you can hit all the rides with minimal lines. I miss that we can't just hop in the car and go for the day. I love that happiest place on earth!
