What are Hidden Mickeys in Disneyland?

A hidden Mickey is some form of representation of Walt Disney’s beloved animated character which can be found hidden away on various rides, attractions and buildings in Disneyland. The most common form is in the way of Mickey Mouse’s head which is symbolized by a large round circle for the head and two smaller circles which represent Mickey’s ears.
 A good example of this can usually be found in the Haunted Mansion during the ballroom scene. When passing by, look at the table settings in which one should look like Mickey’s head and ears. Another example of hidden Mickey Mouse ears can be found at the bottom of the Casting Agency sign on Main Street U.S.A.
Put into place by Disney Imagineers, some hidden Mickeys are actual pictures of Mickey Mouse such as the photograph of Mickey on Splash Mountain. How many hidden Mickeys that are out there is unknown. The popularity of finding them continues to grow and there are numerous web sites and books dedicated to their locations throughout the park.
As if visiting Disneyland isn’t fun enough, add to the fun by trying to find as many hidden Mickeys as possible during your next visit.
