I wanna know!!!! I like trying to find them, but I have to know where to look. Like I said before, I'm terrible at trying to find them on my own...

Okay, I'll tell.... SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ THE REST OF THIS POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Okay, now...
When you are going through the village at the part where a pirate is sitting next to a barrel with a cat on it (on the right hand side), and you hear him talking to the cat, look quickly at the cat as soon as you hear it start meowing. It is lit up from the front, and when it moves a certain way, its shadow creates a Mickey on the wall behind it. You have to watch closely because the shadow is only the right shape for a very short time, and changes as your boat moves by. Anyway, that's it. Like I said earlier, though, there is some debate about whether it really is an intentional HM or not, but a lot of folks seem to agree that it is.

I'm really good at finding hidden Mickey's, I mean down to "Look when we pass that light with the two lights behind it it makes a hidden Mickey". I've never even looked for that one!! Great find!! I bow to you!! Got any other ones? Did you ever see the hidden Mickey in the ToT waiting room?

The only time I ever went on ToT was with some family members who kept me occupied, so I didn't think to look for one there. I wasn't really all that impressed with the ride itself, so I never went back.
I did spot a brand new hidden Mickey on one trip to MGM that wasn't there before, though! They had repainted a new sky scene on the facade above Hollywood Brown Derby, and I spotted it in the clouds. That was cool.
Also, we went on TSM within a month of it first opening, and I was very excited to spot a hidden Mickey in the queue! To think: I may have been among the first few to see it (tingles...)..!!
Wanna know where it is...? :mrgreen:

When ever you in a venue and there are books , always look and see if they have Mickey Mouse written some place. It never fails Mickey's name is written all over the place. Yes these do count as hidden Mickey's!

Yes I do want to know where it is. Even when you told where there is a hidden Mickey, they're still hard to spot sometimes.

Okay, here goes.... 'NOTHER SPOILER ALERT...BLAH BLAH ETC.... :shock: :shock: :shock:

When you pass Mr. Potato Head in the queue and you're coming down the home stretch right before the railings end at the spot where you pick up your 3D glasses, look at the wall to your left. Down near the bottom about 10 or 15 feet back from the corner where the wall ends, almost hidden behind a railing support post, you will see a small Mickey painted on the wall amongst all the other painted-on designs. :mickey:

Ok, so here's the next part of the question...is that in WDW or DL (or both)? Does anyone know?

It's in WDW..... and since you asked, I got nervous and checked the start of the thread, thereby noticing to my chagrin that this thread was meant to be for DL... :oops: :oops:
Well, mea culpa, but you know, it seems like everyone strays from one to the other on the various threads... I'm in good company... :mrgreen:

Well, I guess that means if I make it to DL in December, I will have to make an attempt to look and see if it's there or not...of course, that is unless someone beats me to it and posts it here...

I got stuck on Space Mountain once and they stopped the ride and turned on the lights. Ugh. It totally ruined the illusion! I'll ride my Space Mountain in the dark, pleeease! :D

Looks like the original author of this thread spent some time on HiddenMickeys.org for his "insider" information :-)

Count me in on the people who would love to ride Space Mountain with the lights on. It would make it like a "behind the scenes" ride :)

I wouldn't like riding it with the lights on, but one time the TTA went through and the lights were on. You could see the entire skeleton of the Space. It was very cool.
