Hidden Mickeys in Downtown Disney

A sample scavenger hunt

Can you see the Hidden Mickey in this picture of a horse at Disneyworld?

This is a supplemental article to our review of Hidden Mickeys by Steven M Barrett

 

 

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.
