8. Under The Sea – Journey Of The Little Mermaid

One of the most difficult Hidden Mickeys in all of Walt Disney World can be found just outside of an attraction in the Magic Kingdom’s New Fantasyland. Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid invites guests into Prince Eric’s castle to relive the tale of Ariel falling in love and turning into a human. Once exiting the attraction, guests move back into New Fantasyland and walk past a fence on their right hand side which overlooks some rocks and a waterway. Guests who look closely at the rocks on the left hand side of the water can spot a Hidden Steamboat Willie comprised of several different rocks forming his wheel, hat, face, body, and legs.

7. Garden Grill Restaurant

A popular restaurant in Epcot that many guests enjoy is the Garden Grill Restaurant located on the middle level of The Land Pavilion. The restaurant serves up freshly grown produce and allows guests to meet characters and overlook scenes of Living with the Land while slowly rotating during their meals. At one point, guests rotate past a beautiful mural depicting plenty of flowers and vegetation. Guests who look closely behind a tall reedy fern can spot a Hidden Mickey shown in profile.

6. The Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror

Guests who are brave enough to enter into the Hollywood Tower Hotel can experience the thrilling Twilight Zone Tower of Terror which invites them to board an evil service elevator and put themselves at the mercy of the tower. At one point during the attraction, the elevator begins to move forward through The Twilight Zone and suddenly enters into pitch blackness after a swirl of stars converge into a central point ahead. Guests who look very quickly at the converging lights can spot a very difficult Hidden Mickey just before the lights disappear.

5. Under The Sea – Journey Of The Little Mermaid

Another difficult Hidden Mickey can be found on the queue of Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid but only once a year! While walking through the queue before entering into the indoor portion and room with Scuttle, guest move past a series of caves and caverns with plenty of intricate rockwork and shadows. Each year on November 18th (Mickey’s birthday!), the sun shines through in just the correct way around noon for one of the holes in the rocks to cast a shadow of a perfect classic Hidden Mickey.

4. Jungle Cruise

A Hidden Mickey that experts love finding in the Magic Kingdom can be found on the world famous Jungle Cruise. While exploring the exotic rivers and jungles of the world, guests move through a collapsing temple filled with tigers, treasures, and mystery.

This pillar features a large portion of rockwork chipped off which forms a Hidden Minnie in near profile.

3. Expedition Everest

A thrilling attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that invites guests to enter into the Forbidden Mountain and come face to face with the fabled Yeti is also home to several Hidden Mickeys.
