Hidden and Unintentional Mickey's

Here's the overhead shot of the HM in DHS - as Len said it best, they destroyed it with giving him a "nose" so to speak - the right ear is Echo Lake and the left was taken out some years ago with a change to what use to be round rooftop but now square. His eyes are soarly faded and trees have overgrown the outline of his head:

While we are on topic of overhead HM's in the parks......not sure if anyone has seen this:

Here is the image I posted elsewhere of what MGM used to look like, before they destroyed it.

99soulz, could you perhaps help me out with what we are supposed to see in Expedition Everest? I don't see an HM.

And while we are on the topic of Google Maps, here is one of the pond in the middle of the Richard Petty Experience track.

Take a look at the mountain, and then look at the 2 spirals coming out of it from the tracks - hopefully I am not seeing things....

BTW, that pic you posted of DHS is awesome, can't believe they let that get messed up over time.

You're not seeing things...I see it too.

I see it now, I was getting distracted by the other track making rabbit-ear-esque shapes between them.

Yeah that looks like a HM design. There is also the middle of the track at the Walt Disney World Speedway.

Wow! I never knew Expedition Everest had a Hidden Mickey on it! That's really cool!

Here's a photo that Morningsky sent me from her trip. I guess it would be a Disappearing Mickey!

Here's two from Thunder Mountain in Disneyland

This one is on the second hill on the ride itself. It's to the left as you're going up the hill.

Ah yes! The prickly pear cactus! It's amazing how many UMs (Unintentional Mickeys) one might find on a single piece of agriculture!

Actually, I'm fairly sure the cacti are intentionally grown that way. But even if they're not, they're still pretty awesome!

Honestly, I have never tried to intentionally grow a cacti a certain way, but I would think it to be quite difficult. But the prickly pear naturally grows that way, so it's not uncommon to find Mickeys...it's possible that they are trimmed to a point where a Mickey is highly visible since several pads grow on top of each other.

I would have to agree with you MmeLeota, the prickly pear cactus I have here grows into a Mickey without any help ~ maybe it knows it will survive longer here if it is Disney-shaped! Actually I am impressed that they survive the winter here at all...

That is pretty amazing! I know we've had cacti die on us during a particularly cold winter.
