Terry and I have had a magical time at Disney World. She indulged my obsession to hunt Mickies too.
(Canada, Epcot)
Some are sneaky.
(Ratatouille, Epcot)
Like this one, very well hidden!
(Frozen, Epcot)
Others are pretty easy to spot. (Ariel, Hollywood Studio)
And some cannot be missed, like this coil of rope.
(Living with the Land, Epcot)
My little eye spied a lot on that ride, but I didn’t get photos of them all or on the Nemo ride, it was too dark.
This Mickey is hard to see, but it is lurking there in the deep shadow at Turtle Talk.
And while walking over a bridge at Epcot, I saw this rocky Mickey.
They can often be in signs.
(Figment, Epcot)
I can’t remember where this one is from. But somewhere in Hollywood studios, maybe?
Instead of a mouse, these are hidden rats, in the wallpaper of the new Ratatouille ride. Being a new and popular experience, it is very hard to get onto, but we set our alarm to be ready to hit the button to try to get in the virtual queue early in the morning and it paid off. Six hours later, it was our turn to show up to get in the physical line for 45 minutes till it was time for us to spin around with a kitchen full of rats. It was a clever ride, but even with ginger tablets, I was kind of dizzy and couldn’t wear the 3D glasses.
I have seen these leafy Mickies a few times, but didn’t know where they came from. Today we passed by just as the person sweeping the park finished making it.
Another fun peek a boo, is to look for Cinderella’s horse on the carousel at Magic Kingdom. It the the one with the golden ribbon around its tail. There is another horse with spots that form a Mickey, too.
To celebrate the 50 year anniversary, there are 50 golden statues throughout the four parks. We made a game of finding them all, and doing some of their poses.
I didn’t do a great job of it, but at least I didn’t topple over. That’s a plus, right?
And some poses were easier than others.
The statues will be there for 18 months, and you can get hints online about where to find them. Most are pretty easy to see in main flower beds, but a few are in obscure locations, on balconies, poles, or signs.
And the Mickies are everywhere. Every time I go, I find more. This one is on the Jungle Cruise dock.
If you find any good ones, let me know!
Wow, you have great eyes. Between the Mickeys and the heart shaped rocks…. My realtor spread seven bags of stones over the weekend for my open house, and I haven’t seen a heart shaped rock yet!
