From: sroka@evax.gdc.com Date: 1 Sep 93 13:16:32 GMT Newsgroups: rec.arts.disney Subject: Hidden Mickey list - part 1 The following is a list of the HIDDEN MICKEYS (HM) as of 08/26/93. When I receive an update or addition to this list, I append the text to the end of this file. At least once a month I update the file by placing the additions in the proper catagory and I *try* to post it on the net. If I receive a request for this file, I'll E-mail the unedited file. I try to leave the updates/additions in the original form, but once in a while I must change it to fit the format of this file. My apologies if any contributors are offended by this. Basic rules for contributions to the list; - When I receive a report of a new Hidden Mickey, I add it to the list with the name of the person who reported it and the date I received the file. - When (and if) I receive a report of a confirmed Hidden Mickey, I add the name of that person with the date. - Any additional comments will be added to the list. - If after a while, let's say a year, there is no confirmation of a reported Hidden Mickey it will be deleted from the list. While I read r.a.d often, I cannot always check out the HM postings there. PLEASE Email any requests or contributions directly to me. This way I'll be sure to get them. My INTERNET address is "sroka@evax.gdc.com". Thanks to all for their efforts, and now ... the Hidden Mickey List. ========================================================================== DISNEYLAND ========================================================================== PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN -> As you enter the scene with the two dueling pirate ships, the ship to the left has a hidden Mickey. As the captain of the ship turns and waves his sword, the silhouette of his head and hat on the sails makes a hidden Mickey. REPORTED: mousktr@carson.u.washington.edu (Denise "ABU" Lockner) We saw this one when we went to Disneyland on the 5th of Aug (93). My daughter spotted it first..

During one point of the duel, one shadow has a very Mickey-esque appearance. The "dueling" shadow on the other hand it very out of the way from where your attention is supposed to be at the time (it may be the section where they are auctioning off women, I don't remember.) REPORTED: "househol@sun1.is.battelle.org" (Tim Householder) 05May1993 MAIN STREET -> At the ice cream parlor (run by either Borden or Carnation, I never remember which - the one that makes evaporated milk), there are three pictures on the wall near the cash register.

REPORTED: jillm@netcom.com (jillm) 06AUG93 TOONTOWN -> The 'driveway' of Mickey's house (next to his car) has places where the pavement shows the 'cobblestones' underneath. Just to the left of the rear tire of his car (as you face the garage) is one of these spots. There are three of these stones arranged in a familiar pattern. Anyone else think this looks like a Mickey? It'd be nice to have some corroboration on this... REPORTED: Donald Laird ( fico!ddl@apple.com / laird@zippy.sonoma.edu) CONFIRMED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 30AUG93 -> On the wall that runs from the public telephones (No Kidding!) to a gate, if you look about a quarter of the way down this wall there are some stones exposed that make up a Hidden Mickey.

You'll probably need a helicopter, a detailed map, or a good imagination to see it. It's definitely there though. REPORTED: tad@ingres.com (Tom Drynda) 03AUG93 PIZZERIA BELLA NOTTE -> In an interior wall there is a trefoil shape cut out. It is quite obviously a Hidden Mickey. REPORTED: tad@ingres.com (Tom Drynda) 03AUG93 CASTLE DE LA BELL AU BOIS DORMANT -> Some of the tiles in the roof are in a different colour and in a typical Mickey shape.

(unconfirmed) -> With dinner at King Stefan's, small plate with a 3 inch tall margarine sculpture of mickey was served. CONFIRMED: rjuers@oasys.dt.navy.mil (Raymond L Juers) Annapolis, MD STAR TRADER SHOP (Tomorrowland) -> Mickey as Steamboat Willie appears in the mural. (unconfirmed) SPACE MOUNTAIN -> Some say there are 3 large glass spheres as you exit Ryca 1 that make a Mickey, but it is pretty weak. (unconfirmed) It is quite weak. There are, however, several rock formations that look stronger, in the same location. REPORTED: switzki@piano.cs.indiana.edu (Shawn M. Witzki) 27Jun1993 CONFIRMED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 03AUG93 -> I don't know if anyone noticed this or not, but if you stare at the funky shapes and colors on the viewscreen on Space Mountain, you will see a Hidden Mickey. I don't know if this is a REAL Hidden Mickey or just the way the lines form, but one does appear (albeit a little pixelated) for about 1 second in the lower middle of the screen in green. Can anyone corroborate this? REPORTED: jgray@crash.cts.com (Jeff Gray) -> We didn't see three glass spheres looking like Mickey but we did find Mickey at the end of both Rika 1 and 2. (We rode space mountain twice.) Near the beginning of the moving-walkway the walls are lumpy rock. There are three round lumps of rock down low with green light raking across to highlight the Mickey impression. REPORTED: Daniel (and Mrs.) R Cormier CONFIRMED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 03AUG93 SPLASH MOUNTAIN - Imagineers say that there are 3 hidden Mickeys. -> In the middle of the ride, if you look at all the clouds, one of them has a peculiar resemblance to the Mouse enough to stand out from all the other clouds. I was told that this is behind the boarded up house that the rabbit left. The HM is about the size of a quarter. (unconfirmed) -> At the end, in the riverboat scene, the pink clouds in the background look suspiciously like Mickey Mouse lying down for a nap. The feet and belly are in focus, but his head is rather stretched. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> In the projected scene (on your right) where B'rer Fox and Bear chase B'rer Rabbit over the hill, at the very end of the projection, B'rer Bear appears to be a Mickey. I saw this just as the boat was rounding the corner, and when the projection repeated, I found it was difficult (but not impossible) to see closer up. CONFIRMED: IEBF94S@TJUVM.TJU.EDU (Craig Doerrmann) 15MAY1993 -> Just before the big drop is a HM. It isn't the "traditional" hidden mickey (Face on) but a side view - as reported. CONFIRMED: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LaMaster THUNDER MOUNTAIN -> A shadow appears at a certain time of the day that is a HM. You have to be standing at a certain spot to see it. (unconfirmed) -> On the ride during the last lift (where the rocks 'fall') there is a lamp overhead that is supposed to have a HM projected on it (unconfirmed) -> Look for the three cactus (cactii?) just outside the exit in the shape of a HM. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) FRONTIERLAND TRAIN STATION -> There are three wooden barrels (one big and two small) placed to look like another HM. REPORTED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) CONFIRMED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 03AUG93 SKYWAY (from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland) -> At the Skyway entrance gate (when heading to Tomorrowland) there are pink Hidden Mickeys among the flowery decorations overhead. WEDWAY PEOPLEMOVER/SKYWAY (visable from both) -> You can see that some of the shrubbery (near the Skyway exit and Carousel of Progress) in Tomorrowland is in the shape of a HM. REPORTED: switzki@piano.cs.indiana.edu (Shawn M. Witzki) 27Jun1993 REPORTED: Daniel (and Mrs.) R Cormier CONFIRMED: jmcginn@udcps3.cps.udayton.edu (John McGinn) 27AUG93 CONFIRMED: kruse@cs.ucf.edu (Holger Kruse) 28AUG93 JOURNEY TO MARS -> As a lark, I and my friend decided to go to the "Journey to Mars" ride, arguably the cheeziest attraction there. If you look down at the "rear view" screen when the ship takes off and lands, a large fuel tank (?) and two smaller ones are arranged in Mickey formation. REPORTED: atendido@stolaf.edu (Robert J Atendido) 07May93 MICKEY STARLAND -> The bottom part of the handle on Daisy's front door looks suspiciously like a hidden Mickey. REPORTED: lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu (Loren & Brenda Knutson) 01Jun93 -> On top of all the street signs are the fimilar traditional circle with ears. REPORTED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 29Jun93 -> In Mickey's house, the decorations at the top of the log stands in the fireplace are the traditional HM's. REPORTED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 29Jun93 -> As you leave Mickey's house, in the back yard, right outside the garden gates, the first stepping stones form traditional HM's. REPORTED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 29Jun93 CONFIRMED: friedman@mbcl.rutgers.edu (Rich Friedman) 16JUL93 -> In Mickey's office, there is a picture on the wall next to his desk which has a mouse-eared frame! A picture of Walt, no less.... I snapped a photo of the desk setup--made sure to catch the "MM" engraved in the front of the desk. The globe on Mickey's desk appears to be a globe-version of WDW, but I was having a hard time telling. REPORTED: ericp23@aol.com or disneywrld@aol.com (Eric) -> The window on the door to Mickey's house in in the shape of a big circle with two smaller circle ears. RPEORTED: UNKNOWN MAIN STREET -> The bridle gear on one of the horses that pulls the trolly car has a couple of hidden Mickeys on it. REPORTED: lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu (Loren & Brenda Knutson) 01Jun93 CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> Don't know if it is still there but there was a Mickey and Minnie bush in the garden circle right in front of the castle that waved to the people as they approached the castle. REPORTED: lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu- Loren & Brenda Knutson 07JUL93 JUNGLE CRUISE -> The sign hanging over the entrance has barnacles at the bottom. Under the letter "C" in the word "EXOTIC" the mouse appears from the formation of 3 of the barnacles. The cluster is separate from all others. REPORTED: TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93 SPECTRO-MAGIC -> On the right side of the float that has the mirrorballs on the front (the balls can move up and down). Next to the mirrorballs there is a mirror. Now there is a small and a larger mirrorball. The two, with the mirror form mickey at certain times as they go up and down. REPORTED: TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93 FRONTIERLAND -> Above the Frontier Trading Post (where they have the Stunt Show), there is a building which has a running series of M's at the top of the building. REPORTED:friedman@mbcl.rutgers.edu (Rich Friedman) 16JUL93 From: sroka@evax.gdc.com Date: 1 Sep 93 13:18:03 GMT Newsgroups: rec.arts.disney Subject: Hidden Mickey list - part 2 ===================================================================== EPCOT Center Future World ===================================================================== COMMUNICORE EAST -> The Get Set Jet Game at Backstage Magic is set on three circular platforms in the shape of Mickey. (unconfirmed) WONDERS OF LIFE -> Mickey is painted clearly in the green broccoli like stuff in the mural over the ride. He is as plain as day if you have patience to find him. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) My wife found the "Broccoli" Mickey in Body Wars. It is in the middle clump of broccoli (there are 3 clumps). I thought that it was kind of weak but my wife and family saw it. The one we saw was at the bottom right of the middle clump. Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com SPACESHIP EARTH -> Just as the ride starts to go up, look overhead at the star panels. In the second panel look to the left side of it and the HM is in the shape of the stars. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> After the "Tomorrow's Child" section of the ride where the silhouettes of children are projected onto mirrors you will start to descend again, but this time inside a microchip. On your right will be three monitors that display scientific things like DNA etc. Now on the CENTER monitor three yellow electrons will come together to form mickey's head. You might have to go on the ride a few times before you see this. REPORTED:TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93 WORLD OF MOTION -> In the scene about the used chariot lot, the middle chariot has a Mickey headpiece. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> Later, as you approach the 1960's you will find everybody hitting the open road. In one of the cars (a family going on vacation) is a young boy wearing Mouse Ears. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) JOURNEY TO IMAGINATION -> In the ride, there is a scene of Figment in a 'dressing room' with costumes (he's playing with a Dreamfinder mask). The hem of a dress at the very beginning of the scene has a lace-like border with circular cutouts; an extra length of the border material has been stapled on at one point to create a Mickey. From: myawn@hpcupt3.cup.hp.com (Mike Yawn) -> Also on the ride, look on a giant globe for an island in the shape of Mickey East of Australia. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) LAND -> I talked to a [Cast Member] named Brad. He has worked their for seven years and he is considered the Hidden Mickey expert. He said that there are approximately 20 or more hidden mickey's in the Land pavilion alone; including over half a dozen in Symbiosis, and approximately 5 on the mural behind the loading area for Listen to the Land. He also said there are subliminal audio messages in many of the attractions, including Horizons and Journey into Imagination. I didn't hear anything. My entire family keeping their eyes peeled for Hidden Mickey's we were bound to find some. Little did we know however that we would find some new ones!! -> Those balloons hanging from the ceiling DO form a mickey head. As you enter the pavilion go to the left. Keep going until you are about 2/3 of the way to the Land Grille. Now the balloons are moving, but every time the two outer ones pass the middle balloon, mickey's head is formed and is clear as day. (Pavilion attendants know about this). REPORTED:TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93 -> Enter and go straight to the railing and look down. The table and stools are arranged to be a HM. During the day the stools are move around a lot so it may not be that way for long. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> While standing at the railing, turn towards the entrance and look at the pattern on the floor from the overhead lights. They form a large circle and two small circles on the carpet. It may be difficult to see during the day. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) & Damon Burke -> In Listen to the Land, spot him in the beginning leaf and vine painting as the ride begins. Later, look for the three horseshoes above the barn in the farming scene. (unconfirmed) We missed both of these, and we were looking. REPORTED: switzki@piano.cs.indiana.edu (Shawn M. Witzki) 27Jun1993 -> In Kitchen Kabaret, the refrigerator handle is in the shape of Mickey. (unconfirmed) We didn't find a single Mickey, but the refrigerator handle is definitely NOT a Mickey. Somehow I remember it being that way before, but not now. I don't think that it happened in the "Nestle's switch" since all of the "Kraft" condiments are still unchanged. Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com -> In Symbiosis Mickey is reported to be seen four times. - Small stones in front of the crouching Indian man.(unconfirmed) - baseball cap of the man driving a harvester. (unconfirmed) - when looking at the woman taking a water sample in a lake, the reflection in her sunglasses shows the cameraman wearing a Mickey Mouse T-shirt. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) - The very end shows a farmer standing in a field. As the camera pulls back, the field is shown to be in the shape of Mickey. (unconfirmed) -> A host said "there are 10 inside and 8 outside of kitchen kabaret." I found one in a poster. Some woman had an outfit that resembled one. Couldn't miss it. But i didn't see 18. From: Damon.Burke@p12.f118.n363.z1.fidonet.org (Damon Burke) -> The dunes on the land ride look like a mickey from the restaurant. From: Damon.Burke@p12.f118.n363.z1.fidonet.org (Damon Burke) HORIZONS - you can find Mickey twice, maybe 3 times. -> At the entrance, supposedly if you look down there is a pattern of Mickey's head made from the 3 spot lights in the ceiling above. (unconfirmed) -> In one scene towards the end of the ride, the family is preparing for a birthday party. One of the presents is wrapped in Mickey paper. (unconfirmed) I can confirm the Mickey wrapping paper on the gift. It occurs twice: Once in the kitchen in the desert (it has been wrapped for delivery), and during the "Happy Birthday" sequence. I won't claim credit here since I believe that you previously credited "The Mayhew's" for both. Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com In the scene where the family is getting ready for the birthday party, and in the scene where the family is having the party, there are packages wrapped in red Mickey paper. The packages are clearly visible, but the Mickeys are small. You have to look close. CONFIRMED: Craig Doerrmann 15MAY1993 Internet: IEBF94S@TJUVM.TJU.EDU Bitnet: IEBF94S@TJUVM -> Just as your vehicle enters the space colony, there is a view through windows of the colony rotating beneath you (landscape moves from top to bottom). At one point, there were three dome-like structures outlined with small lights that were definitely a Mickey. The loop of film displaying this scene runs longer than it takes to move through the scene, so on another trip through we did not see the same view. From: myawn@hpcupt3.cup.hp.com (Mike Yawn) I can confirm the Mickey in the rotating space colony. I've been on Horizons at least 10 times and never got the ride timing right before. My daughter picked it out: the "Mickey in Lights" is toward the right-hand side of the satellite (far side as you are travelling left-to-right). It is quite obvious if your car happens to get you there at the right time. Please credit Kelly LaMaster (my 9-yr-old) with confirmation. Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com ===================================================================== EPCOT Center World Showcase ===================================================================== NORWAY (in the queue/loading area for the ride, look at the mural) -> There is a Viking wearing Mickey Mouse ears on the ship. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> The huge mariner on the right side (operating a large wheel) is wearing a Mickey Mouse watch (ghosted Mickey circles). CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> The REALLY tough one here is the stewardess with the clipboard. If you look at her chest, HER right, your left, you will see a Mickey profile in the shadows of her white shirt. He is a little distorted but definitely Mickey..too close to be a coincidence. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> In the initial queue area, in the fishing boat, there are 3 red floats which make up a hidden Mick REPORTED:friedman@mbcl.rutgers.edu (Rich Friedman) 16JUL93 ========================================================================== WDW DISNEY/MGM STUDIOS ========================================================================== JUST OUTSIDE -> There's a water tower with ears on the way to Disney World once you're on the road leading to the parks. REPORTED: Daniel (and Mrs.) R Cormier CONFIRMED: kruse@cs.ucf.edu (Holger Kruse) 28AUG93 BACKLOT (New York Street) -> My seven year old sister found this one! On the backlot street that has the locksmith sign hanging from a building you will find this one. Go into the middle of the street so that the locksmith sign is on your right. Now walk backwards until the street ends. Now on the curb, BEFORE the locksmith sign, and BEFORE the first lamp post, you will see mickey's head chipped into the curb. It is quite large and you cant miss it. (We took a picture of it...) REPORTED:TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93 MAIN PLAZA -> It is built in the shape of Mickey's head, with Echo lake making one ear and the planters forming his nose and mouth. Ask any cast member or just turn your guide map upside down. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) MAIN STREET? -> A real tricky one, while sitting in the Hollywood and Vine restaurant, near the mural, I looked at Mick and Bill's Dockside Diner. The 2 black disks on the "anchor" line look like a side view Mick. REPORTED:friedman@mbcl.rutgers.edu (Rich Friedman) 16JUL93 -> In the display window just to the right of the Hollywood Blvd entrance to Keystone Clothiers at the Disney/MGM Studios is an old camera. The main lens and two smaller round lens-like things make a Mickey. REPORTED:ray@pequod.bsd.uchicago.edu (& Uliassi) 8JUL93 NINJA TURTLES -> The grill on the front of the car (limousine) that brings in the Turtles has a HM on it. REPORTED:lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu- Loren & Brenda Knutson 07JUL93 STAR TOURS -> Look for Mickey in one of the baskets marked 'KMS 81850' circulating through the maintenance area in the shape of 3 laser disks. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> Also reported is Mickey as a cookie cutter in the bin labeled 'PAD 61257' in front of one of the worker drones. REPORTED but unconfirmed (it is dark right there.) The other "PAD" basket should be easy to find: it is directly after the "non-basket" - the only thing hanging and circulating which is NOT a basket (it looks like a car's brake drum). I finally saw the old "Journey into Inner Space" microscope in the loader bay. Thanks for pointing it out. From: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LeMaster 10MAY1993 -> When exiting down the corridor, there are six posters featuring M&M's (the sponsor of ST). There was reported a HM in each of the posters. I found three of the six. A ride op didn't know where they all were either. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) 3 out of 6 SCI-FI THEATER -> I work there and there are couple of hidden Mickeys. There is some trees painted in the back of the theater, and the leaves in one make out the image of MM... And some of the constellations resemble MM as well. I also believe that the tag numbers on the cars are high up executive's initials and birth dates. And at the back of the theatre where the popcorn machine is, there is tile on the wall.. And there is someone's initals in the tile. Probably the person who did the tile. Posted on Fidonet's Disney echo by William Newell (1:3633/2) MUPPETVISION -> The wreath projections on the walls of the theatre are suspiciously Mickey-shaped. REPORTED: switzki@piano.cs.indiana.edu (Shawn M. Witzki) 27Jun1993 BACKSTAGE TOUR -> Just as you pass through the archway and are heading toward the tour cars to the right you will see a bush that looks like Mickey as the sorcerer from Fantasia. To the left you will see a bush that looks like Mickey holding one of those film marker boards (the ones that always show what scene is being shot and what take it is, but I have no idea what they are called). REPORTED:lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu- Loren & Brenda Knutson 07JUL93 GREAT MOVIE RIDE - Mickey is everywhere (an Imagineer's dream). -> While I worked there I was told there is a Mickey in the Hollywood set on the load dock, but damn if I couldn't find it for 3 months. (unconfirmed. I even asked but a ride op who worked there from day one and he said that there isn't one.) -> As the vehicles enter Gansterland, Mickey's feet can be seen peeking out from under the 'Public Enemy' poster. The part of the poster where Mickey's feet show has been ripped a bit. Mickey's feet are still there, but less obvious. CONFIRMED BY:"pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LeMaster 10MAY1993 -> As you enter the Gangster scene, and approach the run down porch, looking over your left shoulder towards the roof you will see Mickey's silhouette in a warehouse window. (An interesting point about this Mickey...It was not placed there by the Imagineers, but rather by a guy named Carlos, who was a gangster at the Movie Ride a few summers ago. The fake Warehouse windows are really next to the actor's corridor, where the Mugsy's wait to take over vehicles. There are chairs and a water cooler up there..it's rather cozy. (I was Mugsy in the summer '92) When the Imagineers found out Carlos had cut out a Mickey and put him there, they liked it so much they kept it!) CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) The "Mickey in the Window" (during the gangster hijacking) *IS GONE* Yes, friends, we rode twice in a row to be sure. I guess it got too famous and someone official took it out. UPDATE: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LeMaster 10MAY1993 In the updated Hidden Mickey list it has a quote from a person who said that the micky placed by a cast member in the window of the ganster scene had been removed. Everyone rest at ease though, I was just there in July and mickey is still watching over the entire scene. UPDATE: TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) 06AUG93 Well, it had been taken out for a little bit because it was never officially approved, but the new one is not only approved but was made by the imagineers to be the exact proportions of the original Mickey drawings. Unfortunately though, the new Mickey looks like a piece of cardboard in a window, while the old one really looked like Mickey was looking down from the warehouse. Oh well, yet another 'improvement' by WDI. It even has a little message on the back saying do not remove, WDI approved.. I think it was put up on June 6, 1993, but I can double check. UPDATE: ssquier@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (Sean Alan Squier) 12AUG93 -> Further on in the Movie Ride you can find Mickey in the hieroglyphics of the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene..(last block on the left) having lunch with Donald Duck.. Interestingly, ALSO in the heiroglyphics, directly across from Indiana Jones, you can find C-3PO and R2-D2 carved in stone. There is also a very small hieroglyphic painted with Mickey Mouse ears, but it is not visible from the ride. Kelly showed me the Mickey (and Donald) in the hieroglyphics, but I'd recommend taking a flashlight with you. It's really dark in that corner and you must depend on the lightning flashing at just the right time. Of course, you might get thrown out for using the flashlight, but... CONFIRMED: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete and daughter Kelly LeMaster 10MAY1993 "wallace@titan.trl.OZ.AU" (Glenn Wallace) states that these were present on the original movie set. -> In Tarzan, if you look up into the trees on the right side to Tarzan's tree house, you will see three grapes in a basket with a spotlight on them. Yet another hidden Mickey. CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) -> I found what MAY be a Mickey on the loading dock. His face is in profile (side view) in the SHADOWS on the mural of "HOLLYWOODLAND". It is all the way over at the left side (when facing the mural), at the edge where the "mountain" sticks out from the wall. It is only visible when a particular set of lights is on: just before the actual ride starts and just after it ends. It is NOT visible during loading since the lighting changes then. The Mickey is a real shadow - not a shadow which has been painted on. It was clear enough for my daughter to agree with - but I wouldn't be really upset if someone else said it was too weak to count. REPORTED: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete Lemaster 10MAY1993 CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka with the help of Pete)16MAY1993 From: sroka@evax.gdc.com Date: 1 Sep 93 13:19:19 GMT Newsgroups: rec.arts.disney Subject: Hidden Mickey list - part 3 ========================================================================== WDW RESORTS ========================================================================== VACATION CLUB -> Some of the pickets on the railings of some of the porches have Mickey's head cut out of them. If you go into the registration area of the Vacation Club these railings can also be found behind the check-in desk. If you don't want to go into the Vacation Club area, go to the intersection of Lake Buena Vista Drive and Bonnet Creek Parkway. Here there is a look out tower marking the Vacation Club and again the railings used have Mickey's head cut out of them. REPORTED: TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) 16JUL93 CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) 21JUL93 GRAND FLORIDIAN -> The weathervanes on the roofs has a Mickey cut-out REPORTED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) 21JUL93 -> While watching my Day at the Magic Kingdom video again, I spotted another Hidden Mickey at WDW. There is a overhead shot of the Grand Floridian pool area in the video, and as the camera approaches the pool you can see that a Hidden Mickey is in the design of the grass and walkways below the pool. Mickey's ear on the left of the screen has a path crossing the middle of it, though. REPORTED: Rich_Koster@agwbbs.new-orleans.LA.US (Rich Koster) 05AUG93 DIXIE LANDINGS -> In the lobby, the ceiling fans have Mickeys in the brackets that hold the blades. REPORTED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) 21JUL93 ========================================================================== WDW - OTHER ATTRACTIONS ========================================================================== PLEASURE ISLAND -> The search lights used at night are in three clusters, and they are arranged as a Hidden Mickey. To see this you must be flying towards Orlando Int'l Airport from the southwest, and at night and it is clear as day. REPORTED: toddm@phobos.ucs.umass.edu (Todd D. McCartney) 09AUG93 TYPHOON LAGOON -> I've been home all summer, after I went to WDW for a week with my girlfriend, and I would like to mention one other hidden Mickey. Anyone noticed the one in Shark Reef? It's on the wall below the exiting steps. REPORTED: wwarden@hubcap.clemson.edu (bill warden) 16AUG93 ========================================================================== WDW - ON PROPERTY BUT NOT AT THE PARKS ========================================================================== -> Survey markers. -> Manhole covers. -> Sand bunker on the sixth hole at the Magnolia Golf Course. -> The putting green at the Eagle Pines & Osprey Ridge Golf Courses. -> When entering the Contemporary Hotel via day guest monorail on the exterior beam, the lights used if the restaurant area are viewed to be in the shape of Mickey. -> I saw a Hidden Mickey while riding the monorial between MK and EPCOT. As you look out the right hand side of the monorail as it passes over the road, you will see that the two lanes of traffic are separated by a row of palm trees. As you pass by, you will see a group of three palm trees in the median strip of the road. When viewed from the proper vantage point, they form, you guessed it, a Hidden Mickey. Confirmed by Russell I. Dyreng (bd670@cleveland.Freenet.Edu) -> Sticker - There's a Disneyworld sticker which I bought. It has a picture of Mickey standing to the right of Cinderella's castle. There are fireworks in the background. The diecut of the sticker is a profile of Mickey's head. The curved cuts around the fireworks are his ears and the extra little bump around the printed Mickey is his nose. REPORTED: Daniel (and Mrs.) R Cormier -> Some of the road signs on the WDW highways feature hidden Mickeys, or least hidden, one-eared Mickeys. I don't think they're all like that. However, the bus from Fort Wilderness to MGM Studios (and other buses to MGM from the TTC area as well, I believe) pass at least one such sign after leaving the TTC for the long back road that passes the Fort Wilderness main entrance. REPORTED: gjb@fig.citib.com (Greg Brail) 02AUG93 ============================================================================= DISNEY MOVIES ============================================================================= BEAUTY AND THE BEAST -> umm.. if you check in the "gaston" scene at the tavern.... right b4 he gets into the brawl.... you can see on the wall in the backgrounds..... like 6 or 7 plaques.. with "tropies" on them.... well.. of you check on that horizontal beam about 2/3rds of the way up.... over on the left hand side.... there is a *small* plaque.. without any antlers.... if you look closely. it looks like mickeys head.... hmm.... is this the end of the hidden mickeys??? REPORTED:SQUID -> Belle opens her door, sending Gaston headlong into a mud pond. Does the design on his protruding posterior (kind of scrawny for such a big guy) remind you of anything? I might be reaching, but it seemed pretty clear while watching the tape. He's got Mickey's pants on! :-) REPORTED:cs64fad@sdcc8.ucsd.edu (Robert Cook) 08Nov92 -> In the movie Beauty and the Beast, Gaston and "friends" are trying to break down the door to the Beast's castle. If you look right above the door there is a shield/crest that looks a lot like Mickey's head. Has anyone else noticed this or am I imagining things ? REPORTED:Sutor@Fwva.Saic.Com 8JUL93 LITTLE MERMAID -> There's a scene where a whole load of birds come flying through Ursula's dress. Just after that, Max is barking up a storm. And JUST AFTER THAT is a scene of some debutante-type person in the background. And from behind, I SWEAR she has mouse ears -- two big black lumps, one on either side of her head...remind you of anything? REPORTED:mikeho@seeker.mystic.com (Michael Ho) CONFIRMED: ins448c@aurora.cc.monash.edu.au (Tim Pickett) 29Jun1993 Note from Tim "Quetzal" Pickett; In fact the two lumps on her head are not on either *side* of her head but are buns on the front and back (you can see this clearly by pausing the film). Still, it does look fairly convincing and is probably intentional. ALADDIN -> Mickey appears in the snout of what looks like a tiger on the Sultan's throne. When Sultan is playing with his toys, his stacking animal shaped figures. Beast is in the pile of figures. REPORTED: Jason. On the throne...the lower and upper parts of the tiger's jaw form three very definite circles in the right shape. REPORTED: thespian@access.digex.net (Stephanie M. Clarkson-Aines) 04AUG93 -> At the point when the line calling Jafar a "vile traitor" or somesuch is, right after he has taken all of Jasmine's father's clothing (which fits him remarkably well, I must add :) Over her father's left shoulder are three pebbles in the right layout and size. REPORTED: thespian@access.digex.net (Stephanie M. Clarkson-Aines) 04AUG93 PINOCHIO -> When Pinochio catches his finger on fire, Gepetio(sp?) is frantically running around to try and find water to put it out, he runs by a table with a mirror on it, the top of the mirror is in the shape of Mickey. There are two small circles protruding out of the sides with the base of the mirror being round, thus giving you a Mickey. Just thought I would pass it on. Daniel Hansberger (danielh@brooktree.com) -> I have a list of Hidden Mickeys in animated films that I will share. The general trend seems to be that they usually show up in a background displayed for a few seconds, rather than such things as dancing plates, etc. where you usually have to pause the film to see it. From: Phil Stern 101 Dalmatians: In the stain glass window in the chapel during the wedding scene there is a pattern of Hidden Mickeys Beauty and the Beast: In the fight scene between Beast and Gaston they wind up outside one of the castle towers. The circular roof shingles on the tower are arranged in a pattern of Mickey Ears (entire tower roof) Lady and the Tramp: Similar to Beauty and the Beast. The scene in which Jock and Trustee find Lady depressed because Darling and Jim Dear have changed recently. Lady is lying outside her home. When Jock and Trustee turn the corner to find her, the background is a pattern of circular shingles on the house arranged in a Mickey Ear pattern. These are the shingles directly above the foundation of the home. (I was surprised when I viewed Beauty and the Beast that the pattern was repeated from Lady and the Tramp. The difference being one movie used roof shingles, the other house shingles) Little Mermaid: When Ariel is sitting on a dock watching Eric's wedding ship sail. The dock she is sitting on has a stone stair case behind her. The hand rails of the stair case are supported by what appear to be stone Mickey Ears. (Though they are displayed for more than an instant, they are small so you may wish to freeze frame this one). Sleeping Beauty: The scene in which the two kings discuss their children's wedding. There is a balcony area in the castle. The balcony wall has a pattern of right-side-up and upside-down Mickey ears (alternating) carved out of the half-height wall. TRON -> The outline of Mickey's head (more of a shadow really) on the "floor" in the computer world as they are flying over part of it. REPORTED: sbenson@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu (Shawna M Benson) 23AUG93 ============================================================================= TV shows ============================================================================= DUCKTALES -> In the episode "GizmoDuck" (Part III of the 5-part pilot for the second season) the Beagle Boys are being chased by GizmoDuck, when Ma Beagle suddenly turns their getaway car into the Drive-Thru at a fast food restaurant. Burger Beagle decides, at that moment, that he is hungry, and leaps out of the car to order a snack. The ordering intercom box is a statue of Mickey, in a chef's hat, with a burger in his hand. The statue is painted red. REPORTED: Rob Lindsay 28AUG93 ============================================================================= PROMOS (TV commericials) and other places ============================================================================= -> There is a new "Be Our Guest" commercial for WDW which premiered on the Very Merry Christmas parade from WDW on Christmas [1992] morning (but it has been running on network TV since then, too). In the scene where the kid has his Mickey doll on the bed with him as he's about to drift off to sleep, the camera pans over to the resort room window which has a view of the castle. Look at the clouds to the left of the castle as the fireworks are going off. You'll see a Hidden Mickey cloud near the castle! From: Rich_Koster@agwbbs.new-orleans.LA.US (Rich Koster) -> Hey! I just found a hidden Mickey!!!

Look in the fireworks on the left half of the screen and at one point you will see a Hidden Mickey which the fireworks form (actually it looks like the production of the promo created the 3-circle Mickey shape by cleverly mixing fireworks shots together).
