Hidden Mickeys at Walt Disney World

Sharing is caring!

If you’ve ever visited a Walt Disney World park chances are you have seen a Hidden Mickey. Hidden Mickeys are Mickey Mouse shaped objects hidden through the parks by Disney Imagineers.

It started as a way to incorporate Mickey Mouse into all the parks outside of Magic Kingdom, however now it is a fun “game” for guests at the park. There are supposedly over 1,000 Hidden Mickey’s around the parks! Here are a few Hidden Mickey spots to start your search, sorted by each Disney park:

Hidden Mickeys at Magic Kingdom

Hidden Mickeys in Fantasy Land

• Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Inside the mine when you see Grumpy there is a Hidden Mickey behind his head with three gems. 

•  Pinocchio Village Haus

There is a painting in Pinocchio Village Haus of Pinocchio and Cinderella with a wand. To the bottom left of this painting, there is a very small Hidden Mickey. This is a hard one to see so look closely!

• It’s a Small World

This ride has a bunch of Hidden Mickeys! In the Africa area of the ride, there is a vine that has Mickey shaped leaves. You can see them behind the giraffes. 

Hidden Mickeys in Tomorrowland

• Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

The Buzz Lightyear ride has one of the most Hidden Mickeys on it. This is a great ride to go on if you would like to find a few Hidden Mickeys. There is one hidden in a mural on the wall when you walk in. Look at the different planets, it’s a little hard to spot at first. This planet will appear a few more times through the ride in various rooms so keep an eye out for it! Fun fact, this planet is called Pollost Prime.

• Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor

There is a poster outside of the ride with a picture of a moon on it. There is a Hidden Mickey on there. Also, there is one below a triangle shaped roof where you enter before you get into the Laugh Floor. 

• Carousel of Progress

There was a recent update to the Carousel of Progress to make it more modern in the final scene so this may have changed with that. However, in the final scene there are a few Hidden Mickeys around the room.

There is a Mickey shaped nutcracker, a green Mickey on the wrapping paper for the presents under the tree, and a Mickey Mouse plush under the tree. With the recent update, they may have added some new Hidden Mickeys that haven’t been found yet! Let us know the ones you find in the comments below!

You can spot a Hidden Mickey on the safari ride in Animal Kingdom. Right behind the flamingos there is one on the island.

The Boneyard is such a fun place for toddlers and kids at Disney‘s Animal Kingdom.

This ride has one of the most in-depth queues I have ever seen. There are spots for Hidden Mickeys everywhere! You can spot one in the standby queue in the lab area. There is a desk with some plastic bottles with black tops. Some of these black tops come together to form a Hidden Mickey.

• Entrance to Pandora

When you are walking into the incredible area of Pandora, there is a very small Hidden Mickey engraved in one of the stones. 

• Na’vi River Journey

This boat ride is one of my favorites in Walt Disney World. It is so detailed and relaxing. There is an animatronic of a Shaman that sings you a song at the end. If you look at her shawl, there is a Hidden Mickey in it on both sides. It’s a tough one to spot, so you need to wait until you’re fairly close and her arms are up. The holes in her shawl make the Hidden Mickey.
