Lost Hidden Mickeys of Disneyland


Disney continually updates its parks and attractions. Due to refurbishments, Hidden Mickeys are lost forever. When you notice that a Hidden Mickey was lost, please report it so that it can be remembered here.

This page is dedicated to those Hidden Mickeys lost forever in the parks and the Imagineers who created them. They may be lost in reality but they will live on in cyberspace.


General

  1. On the 1999-2000 annual passport there is a box next o Mickey's stool. There is a picture of 4 oranges.3 of the oranges make a picture of our favorite mouse.
    REPORTED: Jenny 19 NOV 01
  2. The entire outline of Disneyland was originally that of Mickey's head. Now it has changed a bit due to new park layouts (i.e. Mickey's Toontown)
    REPORTED: Ryan 22 FEB 94
    REPORTED: Melanie Freeman 08 JUN 96
  3. The new Xenostrobe 10k lights located around the park (post spring 1995) used to be programmed to create large Mickeys in the sky when the park closed every evening.
    REPORTED: Tony Crescenzo 21 FEB 96
    The lights that used to shine straight up from Videopolis (Now the Sony Theater, where Pocahontas is playing) used to form a perfect Mickey when the marine layer clouds came in.
    CONFIRMED: Ed Johnston 25 OCT 96
    The big search lights around the park are 7k Xenon Moving lights from a company called Syncrolight. These are placed around the park in five places but do not create the image of Mickey in the sky except to those with imaginations larger than Walt's. These lights were used as part of Fantasy in the sky, and are now used only as mood lighting in between the large shows. (They turn off during any of the big shows).

  4. I worked as a Custodial busser at Disneyland from 1990-1992. I used to clean up after parades during my first summer there. During that summer in Fantasyland, they had this big cartoon promotion where thay had the streets painted with the characters from Tailspin. Because of the fact that the streets were painted a dark color, they would absorb so much heat that at the beginning of the summer, the floats would often sink and get stuck. you used to be able to see big divots in the cement where the wheels dug up in order to get out of where they were stuck. After a while, despite all the work it took to paint the charcters on the cement, they eventually just painted the entire street a lighter color so it wouldn't get so soft. One big painting was actually left half panted over so that only half of the character were visible.
    REPORTED: Jason Sherman 03 DEC 97
  5. At the pedestrian exit, there is a Hidden Mickey in the advertisement for Wonderful World of Disney. On the right of the ad is an alarm clock. The two bells mounted on top of the clock are painted black. The clock is the head and the bells are the ears. It's really easy to see just as you walk through the righthand tunnel exiting the park -- just look above the exit turnstiles.
    REPORTED: Pianoman 03 APR 98
    The Hidden Mickey in the sign at the pedestrian exit is lost. An ad for "Mulan" is up there now, and it occupies the entire sign. I imagine that Disney will put their "Wonderful World of Disney" sign back up some day, but for now this Hidden Mickey is gone.
    LOST: Pianoman 03 JUN 98
    I would just like to let you know that the Mulan ad has been changed to promote the new live action Inspector Gadget movie starring Matthew Broderick. I don't know if this means that the HM is lost forever.
    LOST: Brandon Davis 02 AUG 99
  6. On the California Adventure Prevue Center (by the Team Disney building) there is a poster advertising the second gate in Anaheim. It shows a Disney version of the Hollywood Walk of fame, with the markers being HMs instead of being stars! In the waiting area for casting, the Welcome sign has a Hidden Mickey! Not really Hidden, but few non-CM people have seen the Sorceror Mickey and the Classic Mickey signs on the wall by the Prevue Center's parking lot (Guest parking for TD building too.)

  8. Like the report of the stroller/wheelchair sign, the same scroll work is displayed on the Express ATM sign located outside of the park to the west of the entrance.
    REPORTED: Eric B 20 NOV 96
    CONFIRMED: Mitch Tatro 17 JAN 97
    I was at the Wells Fargo ATM machine and on the top of the wood that encased the machine there were 2 hidden Mickey's on either side of the yellow wood that encased the Wells Fargo Machine...that was outside the park itself near the ticket area.
    REPORTED: Jeanne 10 MAY 99

  13. In 1995 for the 40 year anniversary, I bought one of those huge poster-maps of the park. Yesterday, while I was looking at it, I noticed a pair of hidden Mouse ears. They were coming from the smoke of the train nearest the entrance of the park. Even more ironic, is that they're sitting right next to a Mickey Mouse flag.
    REPORTED: Chernabog 06 MAY 99
    There's one of these posters posted on the wall in the Locker Room on Main Street. It may not be up much longer since it's almost five years old.
    CONFIRMED: Brandon Davis 29 DEC 99
  14. Checkout the 45th Anniversary Poster map
    1. Smoke Mickey a definite Mickey.
    2. The trees around the Disneyland entrance -- the pattern of the 'leaves' on a few diferent trees make some Mickeys (note: I'm pretty sure these weren't intentional, but it can be seen if you're a Hidden Mickey nut):
      1. One right above "Guest Relations" at the entrance,
      2. one directly below the yellow Disneyland banner with Tinker Bell (the very left edge of the banner), and
      3. one on a tree at the left of the entrance.
      spacer
    3. In front of Small World, there is a pink-colored planter box, with a tri-circle Mickey in it above the words "Small World Promenade."
      
      
      
      spacer
    4. Directly to the right of that Small World Mickey is another one -- the little tent has a tiny Mickeyesque figure, tilted to the left.
      
      
      
      spacer
    5. In the right top corner of the Jungle Cruise, right above the pink ribbon labeled "Main" (as in "Main Street) there are three yellow circles, two little ones and one big one.
      
      
      
      spacer
    6. Another Jungle Cruise Mickey -- this one is located near the squirting elephants. To the left of the words "Elephant Bathing Pool" is an elephant who is squirting water straight up into the air. Directly to the left is a pile of rocks, and on one of the rocks is Mickey!

    7. This one is, to me, as convincing as the Train Smoke Mickey. It's located in the waters of what used to be the Submarine Voyage, about an inch below the green Autopia car, to the right of the Matterhorn. Three circles in the water.

    11. There are several decor Mickeys on the 45th Anniversary poster. The most obvious one is the top middle of the poster with Mickey's face in the border. In addition, Mickey is also depicted in the "Partners" statue on Main Street, the entrance's Floral Mickey, Sorcerer Mickey on Tom Sawyer Island (as part of Fantasmic!), Mickey greeting guests in Toontown (next to Minnie), the Mickey fountain in Toontown (directly to the left of Minnie), Mickey balloons on Main Street, and the two Mickey flags on the Main Street station. spacer

  15. I recently bought a small art plaque of Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland. It shows the scene where Aurora is picking berries. Some of the berries in her basket are in clusters which form Mickey heads. They are probably in that scene in the movie, too. If you see the art plaque (they have other movies too), look for the little Mickeys!
    REPORTED: Kate 18 APR 98
  16. I found a hidden Mickey right outside the exit of the park. Go to the exit turnstile furthest to the left. I'm not sure if this is the exact spot but I do know that there are three holes in the ground in the bottom right hand side of one of the cement squares. I think you have to walk about 10 or 15 feet from the left turn style but I am not sure.

Dalmatian Celebration

  1. On the picket fence which runs across the front of the display, the Hidden Mickeys are in the Dalmatian spot design that is the basic design element for the display.
    REPORTED: anon 27 NOV 96
    Generally the spots are unusual shapes and sizes, but there are 3 spots that are circles that form the Hidden Mickey (although some of the circle falls into the gaps in the picket fence). You can definitely tell that the shapes form a Hidden Mickey.

Emporium Store

  1. At the Emporium, they currently have a Fantasia 2000 exhibit. Look at the window depicting the 'Tin Soldier' story. The clasp on the evil jack-in-the-box's box is a Mickey. It really shows up towards the end of the dancing when a light shines directly on the jack-in-the-box.
    REPORTED: Penny Ruvelas 07 AUG 00
  2. There is a Hidden Mickey in one of the Emporium windows, featuring scenes from "Tarzan." Go to the "Elephant Pool" scene, and look to the right, on the surface of the water. There is a large lily-pad,forming the head, with two smaller pads, forming the ears. There are a few other Mickey heads to the left, but not as well proportioned as the one on the right.
    REPORTED: Bruce and Debby Forrest 20 JUN 99
    The Hidden Mickey formed by the lily pads in the Tarzan Elephant Pool scene is there but will eventually be lost as new scenes are placed in the window.

  3. In one of the Emporium windows on Main Street someone has placed an onion and two garlics to form a hidden Mickey.

  4. Find the window display, outside the Main Street Emporium, that features the scene from "Mulan", where the soldiers are dressed in drag. Take a look at their lips, and you'll see our good pal Mickeys face-his head is formed by the bottom lip, and the two ears are formed by the top lip. This is also true, pertaining to the same scene in the movie.

  5. We found two possible Hidden Mickeys in the window displays in front of the Emporium. The first one is in the Little Mermaid display, where Ariel is looking at all her treasures. In the very back on the upper right hand side, there's a little Mickey statue. You won't notice it unless you look for it. The other one we found is also in a Little Mermaid display, but this one is the window to the right of the one described above. In the painted background, on the left hand side, there are three seashells that might be a hidden Mickey. Not sure about this one.
    REPORTED: Tai&Eve 02 MAR 98
  6. Emporium Diorama: "Hunchback of Notre Dame" Final scene where a little girl comes up to Quasimodo and gives him a hug, while Phoebus and Esmeralda look on. Scene takes place on the steps of the Notre Dame facade. On either side of the cathedral door are columns of little saints. On the left hand side of the door, select the row of saints that is second from the top. The third saint from the left is holding what looks like a tray or a plate to his chest. On careful scrutiny, the plate has "mouse ears". It's faint but it's there.

Crystal Arcade

  1. On the back wall is a painting of an old Emporium with a portrait of Walt in the upper right. If you look at the balloon vendor, among the many ordinary balloons is a white one shaped like Mickey (just like what they sell at Disneyland).
    REPORTED: David Tomita 10 OCT 94
    It's a balloon, in a group of balloons, on the left side of the mural. It's the traditional mouse ears balloon shape like they sell at Disneyland but very subtle, hidden, but definitely intentional. It's brilliant.

    CONFIRMED: Brad C Willoughby 02 APR 96
    Tried to find the painting in Crystal Arcade last friday but it's gone. Cast Members told me it wasn't covered up but peeled off the wall by someone, rolled up and carted away. They didn't know who it was. Called Decorations ("We never throw ANYTHING away!") and they sent me to paints. Paints sent me to signs, where I spoke with Cindy, pictorial foreperson, who told me she had made the painting and she was sure there were no HMs in it. I read her the reports and she said she would unroll it and look. The painting is safe. She's holding it in storage for possible future use. If they had left it in place, the modifications they were making to the wall would have damaged it. Also, while we're on the subject of "moving things", the elephant is gone from the penny arcade. I'm told it's in storage because they needed the room for a plush stand. Lots of folks have asked about it, so it may not be gone all that long. Thanks for your devotion to this very interesting topic. I'll keep in touch.
    UPDATE: Ed Johnston 08 JUN 96
    Mural is gone because of the recent renovation to the Emplorium.

  2. In the painting on back wall with "balloon vendor", my wife also found what may be the smallest Hidden Mickey in existence. To the right of the balloons, underneath the "N" in San Francisco, you can see inside the restaurant. Only shadows are visible, but you can distinctly see a boy's head with a Mickey hat with ears on it! It's very small, but very obvious that it's no fluke. Is it possible this is the smallest Hidden Mickey that's been found?

  1. Two Mickeys found in a painting. Behind the big wooden Mickey that stands in a corner of the shop, there is a picture on the wall from 101 Dalmatians. Look in the circular archway above the two people and the priest. It is full of tiny Mickey heads . Also, look at the male dog in the picture ("pongo" I think is his name). His right arm, near the shoulder, has a Hidden Mickey in the form of black spots, as all Dalmatians have.

  2. This cell is currently located in Disneyana, above the South Door, near the "Stained Glass Wedding" picture. Upon closeup you will note a similar pattern on the puppy on the left. Also a couple of upside down Hidden Mickeys on the guy on the right, but for the most part, you stick a bunch of circles like this somewhere, and you are likely to find a bunch of Hidden Mickeys!
    REPORTED: Benjamin Rockwell 09 SEP 96
    Wishful thinking, the 101 Dalmatians picture is four circles not three and they are all the same size.

Plaza Inn Restaurant

  1. Immediately inside the women's room (sorry guys!), there is a picture hanging on the wall. It is a picture of the entrance of the restaurant. The Hidden Mickey is in the lower right corner as a part of the floor design. I was so excited to find it but I was with my husband and couldn't show it to him due to its location!

Light Magic Parade

Closed 6 January 1996

  1. On the signs advertising the new Light Magic parade that you see hanging above the arches as you exit the park, there is a "swoosh" of light that travels from one side of the sign to the other. Watch that swoosh; it forms a Mickey profile. My friend Scott spotted this, and we had to watch the sign do its thing a couple of times before we could be sure, so you might have to do the same.
    REPORTED: Stephanie Smith 16 OCT 96
    I can definitely confirm this for the sign on the West side of the Main Street Station. It's nice and clear on this sign, and you have to look for it, but once you see it, there is no question. However, the sign on the East side doesn't appear quite the same way and while we could make out a partial Hidden Mickey in the same spot, I don't think it was quite complete.
    CONFIRMED: Benjamin Rockwell 10 NOV 96
    CONFIRMED: Tom & Rob 04 JAN 97
    The Light Magic sign, which is now gone, definately had a Hidden Sorcerer Mickey appear as the stars came down over the case (I believe he's even holding the wand). It shows up best at night. Another factor is if you look at the castle near where Mickey appears, something doesn't look right. I can't tell what, but maybe one of the spires is different.
    CONFIRMED: Michael Campisi 12 DEC 96
    I wanted to confirm the report of the Hidden Sorcerer Mickey in the Light Magic signs. This Mickey is not really lost as one of these signs is at the Disneyland Hotel. Although I don't know how long it will be there. The Mickey is definitely there. I've seen it several times.

  6. The new Light Magic western seating area at the Small World Mall. The larger east side is still being built. Notice the large shrubs behind the seating area: there is a walkway behind these shrubs. Good planning, because you can't even see the parade from the walkway; no more of the gawker's block that plagued the Lion King and MSE Parades.
    REPORTED: Scott M. Leonard 08 APR 97
  7. I was watching Light Magic and I found out that we were sitting right behind the Imagineer for the fiber optics. He told me a couple of things:
    1. They are working on perfecting a blue fairy image (in tribute to the MSEP) in the startup of the fiber optic sequences.
    2. There are Hidden Mickey's in the fiber optics, however to see them, your best bet is to video tape the float, and then move frame by frame.

    REPORTED: Benjamin Rockwell 30 AUG 97
  8. When they raise the screens on the floats and Tinkerbell comes up and flys around, look for when her fairy dust changes into many colors. The Hidden Mickey is made of yellow for the head and purple for the ears.

    The one with Tinkerbell's fairy dust is very, very much a Hidden Mickey. When looking for when it happens it comes alive right after the scene of Michael and Wendy watching the ship fly away. That should help to clarify where it is for those who think this hidden Mickey is wishful thinking.

  9. On each of the floats (towards the forward facing direction, on each side), there are "acorns" or "nuts" or whatever, that the characters use as drums towards the end of the show. These items light up with the drum playing in the show. Anyway, the RED ones (not the yellow) are consisted of one large one, with two smaller ones over them.

  10. At the beginning of the film, there are clouds, that show up on the screen (and are paused there to allow focus, and then they seperate). Well, the grouping on the right hand side of the film (with a projector at your BACK) looks like a Mickey (big circle, with smaller circles for ears).

    The Hidden Mickey on the wall at the Carnation Ice Cream Parlor doesn't look quite as Mickey-esque when viewed from straight on, because the ears are so high and far away from the head. It does look like it was probably done on purpose, though, so I'm not at all ready to discount it...
