I know some of you have been concerned if your child will like EPCOT as much as the other parks.Here's another fun thing to do to keep your child's interest while touring this gorgeous park.The Hidden Mickey Game.
Hidden Mickeys started out as inside joke among the Imagineers. A Hidden Mickey is an image of Mickey Mouse concealed in the design of a Disney ride ,resort,etc. To begin with it took the shape of a head and ears silhouette, °o°, one large circle with two smaller circled on top in the correct place, but Hidden Mickeys can take on many forms.In designing, constructing or adding the final touches to an attraction, Imagineers try to "hide" Mickey Mouse silhouettes in plain sight! Word spread and soon Disney fanantics went searching for Hidden Mickeys in theme parks and movies.
Here's a list of a few that we have searched for in past trips to WDW.We've found a few! Hope you have fun looking!
