Jeremy,
Thanks for asking me your question here at planDisney!
My girls and I love discovering new Hidden Mickeys as we navigate the parks and resorts. While we know we are likely not the first guests to find them, it still feels like we are making a novel discovery every time we find one we had not noticed before.
While it is not a Disney-published title, there is no question in my mind that the definitive guide to Hidden Mickeys is
Walt Disney World's Hidden Mickeys and Hidden Surprises: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secrets by Steven M. Barrett. He is now on his 10th edition of the book, and it is a convenient, almost pocket-sized 5” x 9” book you can carry around as you explore the magic. He not only documents over 1,000 Hidden Mickeys and other fun surprises but offers tips on how to find them.
BONUS TIP #1There are so many wonderful, homemade Hidden Mickey scavenger hunts that you can find online. A simple browser search turns up ones based on different locations, so see if there is one that fits into your travel plans.
BONUS TIP #2Many of the
Disney Resort Collection hotels offer Hidden Mickey Scavenger Hunt printouts for you to enjoy. Just ask at the front desk. One of my favorites is from
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge!
Please feel free to
write me back again with any other questions.
Have a Magical Vacation (and a wonderful time hunting for those Hidden Mickeys)!
Doug
