You may have noticed various
images of Mickey Mouse around the Disney theme parks. Some
of them are completely obvious, and some slightly less so.
But have you also seen the
hundreds of 'hidden' images that also lurk around the parks?
Finding the hidden images can
be a great deal of fun, and is the subject of a book, 'Hidden
Mickeys'.
Here is an introductory sample
scavenger hunt for some Hidden Mickeys, to give you a taste of
the rest of the book.
