There are approximately 419 Hidden Mickeys that can be found throughout Disneyland Park, Downtown Disney, the three Disneyland hotels, and Disney California Adventure
. These Hidden Mickeys are deliberately placed by Imagineers and cast members and appear in various forms such as the classic three-circle Mickey silhouette, profile shapes, or full-bodied Mickeys integrated into rides, landscaping, signs, and decor
. Hidden Mickeys are scattered across many locations including:
- Ride queues and attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, and Mike & Sulley to the Rescue
- Resort hotels and Downtown Disney District in carpets, artwork, and building facades
- Landscaping and rock work where plant arrangements or rock formations form Mickey shapes
- Everyday items such as signs, merchandise, and even parking lot concrete
Because new Hidden Mickeys are occasionally added and some disappear, the exact number can vary, but the widely accepted count is around 419 within the Disneyland Resort area
