Walt Disney World's Hidden Mickeys and Hidden Surprises: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secrets

by Steven M. Barrett

Overview

Hidden Mickeys are partial or complete images of Mickey Mouse (or other Disney Characters) that are cleverly concealed by Disney’s Imagineers and artists in attractions, hotels, restaurants, shops and other spaces in Walt Disney World. Hidden Surprises include other concealed Disney trivia. With this new 11th edition of “Walt Disney World’s Hidden Mickeys and Hidden Surprises,” the Disney guest can find over 1,200 Hidden Mickeys and Surprises (with over 100 new ones) in Walt Disney World. The book arranges the Hidden Mickeys into six scavenger hunts, which offer cryptic Clues to Mickey’s hiding places. There’s a scavenger hunt for each theme park, one for the resort hotels, and one for all the rest of Walt Disney World. The guest can earn points for finding each Hidden Mickey with only the Clue. Hidden Mickeys are rated from one to five points, and more subtle and hard-to-find Hidden Mickeys are worth higher point values. If the guest can’t locate a specific Hidden Mickey with the Clue, then the Hint a few pages later will provide an exact description of the Hidden Mickey and its location – but no points can be claimed if the Hint is consulted. The scavenger hunts are arranged to optimize efficient guest touring of all Walt Disney World areas. The author also lists his top twenty favorite Hidden Mickeys, and he acknowledges by name all Hidden Mickey hunters who were first to discover a new Hidden Mickey.

About the Author

He published the first Walt Disney World's Hidden Mickeys Field Guide book in 2003 and since then has updated this book every few years, as new Hidden Mickeys appear constantly (and some disappear).
