A Hidden Mickey is an image of Mickey Mouse worked into the design of a Walt-Disney-World attraction or some other Disney structure.
We had a great time spotting them in Magic Kingdom Orlando..however it just about drove me round the bend!!
Originally, a Hidden-Mickey was the familiar shape of Mickey Mouse's head and ears made from one large circle with two smaller circles on top.
See the Maharajah's earring in the photo of the mural on the Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom's
Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom's Maharajah Jungle.
Hidden Mickey’s originated in the late 1970s or early 1980s when Disney management wanted to restrict Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie to the Magic Kingdom.
Epcot was to be a more adult park with a different emphasis and theme than the Magic Kingdom.
The Imagineers designing Epcot couldn't resist slipping Mickey’s into the new park in subtle ways, and thus "Hidden-Mickey’s" were born.
Guests and Cast Members started spotting them and the concept took on a life of its own.
Today, Hidden Mickey’s are anticipated in any new construction or renovation at Walt Disney World and at the other Disney parks worldwide.
