Did you put “buy more Minnie ears” on your to-do list for 2023? Just us?
Happy New Year!
Well, if you did, you’re in luck, because Disney has been releasing some CUTE new ears lately. Now, we’ve found a pair online that will have you channeling your inner Sleeping Beauty — and they have a fun surprise!
Today is a VERY special holiday…do you know which one?!
Mickey and Minnie together!
It’s Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse’s birthday! That’s right, the power couple of the century SHARE a birthday because they both premiered in “Steamboat Willie” on November 18th, 1928. And every year, there’s one super rare and quite unique way to celebrate their birthday!
Our reporters are pretty much Hidden Mickey experts!
Are these the BEST hidden Mickeys we’ve ever seen?
They’re aces at spotting hidden Mickeys from the obvious, to the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, to the ones that honestly keep us up at night. We’ve spotted so many hidden Mickeys that we’re starting to wonder, what makes a hidden Mickey a hidden Mickey? What are the laws of hidden Mickey science? We spotted something today that reminded us an awful lot of a certain mouse — let us know what you think!
Okay, listen here. We know that Disney, as a company, is all about them SECRETS! 🤫
Magic Kingdom
They’re constantly hiding little Easter eggs in their movies, adding little nods to important attractions or people in their theme parks, and, over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of hidden Mickeys EVERYWHERE. But there are some little details that only a Disney MASTER will have picked up on, and today we’re sharing our list of the top 16!
We go to Disney World so much that Mickey Mouse is practically burned into our eyes at this point. We manage to find hidden Mickeys all over the parks and resorts — seeking them out is kind of an addiction. From highly intentional Imagineering details to one-in-a-million occurrences, we’re always on the lookout for hidden Mickeys in Disney World.
You can find Mickey in the most unexpected places!
During our recent visit to the EPCOT World Showcase during the Flower & Garden Festival, we strolled through Vibrante & Verde: An Encanto Garden. What we saw totally BLEW our minds, and we need to share this discovery with you.
If there’s one accessory that you can bet on a ton of people at Disney World having, it’s a MagicBand!
MagicBands
MagicBands are your literal key to the kingdom, acting as your ticket, and if you’re staying on property, working as your room key, credit card, and more. Disney announced last year that they would be introducing a new version of the MagicBands sometime in 2022, but it has not yet been revealed exactly when that is happening! So, while we wait for those to be released, Disney has been dropping new designs of the current bands, and 2 new ones just arrived in the parks!
Disney World is full of hidden Mickeys!
See the hidden Mickey?!
Some of them are pretty obvious, while others you reallllly have to look for. Others, you won’t notice unless they’re pointed out to you, like the one on Splash Mountain. You can find hidden Mickeys in both the hotels and the parks, and even go on scavenger hunts to look for them. You may think you know where all of the hidden Mickeys are in Disney World, but we know about one that most people don’t notice!
One of the most fun things to do around Disney World is finding hidden Mickeys!
Hidden Mickey in Italy
Hidden Mickeys are Mickey shapes secretly placed around Disney World, with some more obvious than others. You can spot them in flooring, on ceilings, and even in your food (even if that’s by chance)! They’re so fun to find! Check out what we just discovered.
There are LOTS of hidden Mickeys all throughout the Disney World parks, resorts, and restaurants.
Hidden Mickey!
From ones that only pop up once a year to ones that are featured in jewelry collections, there are so many different ones to find. Recently, we stopped by one place in EPCOT and found a single item that contains SIX hidden Mickeys on it. Can you find them all?
Finding hidden Mickeys is something of an art form in Disney World.
We see Mickey!
We’ve seen some super tricky hidden Mickeys, some that you can’t even see from the ground, and even one that will probably never reappear in the parks again. But there’s one very famous Hidden Mickey that can only be seen for a little while once per YEAR. [Read more…]
