My favorite was the one on the Body Wars mural. I say "was" because the mural supposedly no longer exists. I also like the hidden Mickey and hidden Donald in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" scene in The Great Movie Ride.

At Pizzafari in the Animal Kingdom in the wallpaper in the "nocturnal" dining room. If you can't find it, ask one of the CM's.

I took a solo trip to WDW in 2005 and spent a lot of time searching for Hidden Mickeys. I took pictures of a lot of them. I don't think I have a favorite, as I find the challenge to be rewarding each time. But, I really enjoyed searching for the Mickeys on the Pangani trail and the Jungle Trek.

does anyone have a picture of the hidden Mickey and Donald in the Raider's of the Lost Ark scene in MGM Great Movie Ride? I continue to go back and ride this ride continually to find it - and have yet to spot it! I don't know why this one is so difficult, but I'm beginning to think it's a myth!

I remember reading about this one. Most cms say that it's almost impossible to see in the regular ride lighting. I saw a picture of it online that a cm took shining a flashlight on it, but I can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it's far from a myth. There's even a pin for it: http://www.dizneypins.com/Jan04Images/mgmgreatmovie.jpg

I've seen it at least two times, however, I have trouble remembering where exactly it is. It's somewhere towards the top on the left side during either the Raiders of Lost Ark or the scene following it.

My favorite is the one in the Haunted Mansion Clock at DLR. Mainly cause it's one of the two I have ever found. :D
Disneyland is the best!

Wasn't this one the original HM? I've always thought so and always smiled as I was going by.

This one is really hard to find a cast member pointed it out to us. At the Animal kingdom lodge. Outside in the courtyard near the firepit. There is a hidden mickey in the iron work on the was just to the right as you exit the lobby. It's about 1/4 of the way up and is the full head of mickey mouse. It's there, just very difficult to see within all of the ironwork.

My favorite hidden Mickey is in our favorite resort, POR. The bedspreads in the rooms have a floral print. But if you look closely at the twining vines in the print, you will see that some of them form perfect little Mickey heads. I love it because it is so subtle, and it just emphasizes the attention to detail that is the hallmark of Disney.

(The last time we were at POR was in 2004; the rooms have been renovated since then and I don't know if they still have those bedspreads.)

I personally like the "amost" hidden Mickey. The OTHER one you can see from a plane...at MGM - Echo Lake, the "Hub" and the Hollywood Brown Derby - Google Earth will get you there.

I don't see it. I see the Hub as Mickey's head and the lake as one ear, but where's the other ear? What am I missing?
