Product Description

There's an extra special way to enjoy Walt Disney World and this book is your guide. Hunting for "Hidden Mickeys" (images of Mickey Mouse cleverly concealed in WDW's theme parks, restaurants, hotels, and other areas by Disney artists and designers) is fun for all and a bona fide vacation mission for many Disney World fans.

Author Steve Barrett adds to the fun by organizing the search into six separate scavenger hunts, complete with clues, hints, and points to be scored. There's a hunt for each of the four major theme parks, plus one for the resorts and one for all the other areas. Compete with family and friends, or just use the "Index to Mickey's Hiding Places" in the back of the book to look for Mickey wherever you find yourself in WDW.

This guidebook to WDW's best kept secrets has been completely updated in this new fourth edition. You'll find more than 200 new Mickey sightings--over 800 hidden Mickeys in all!

From the Publisher
Hunting for Hidden Mickeys adds lots of extra fun to a Walt Disney World vacation--and not a whit to the cost.

From the Author
Searching for Hidden Mickeys is lots of fun. But it's not a substitute for letting the magic of Disney sweep over you as you experience Walt Disney World for the first time. For one thing, the scavenger hunts I present in this book do not include all the attractions at WDW. That's because some of them don't have Hidden Mickeys! For another, the first-time visitor should get ready for fun by also consulting a general WDW guidebook (like my annually-updated Hassle-Free Walt Disney World Vacation) for descriptions of Disney World's attractions, shows, dining, and other information.

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't search for Hidden Mickeys, too. Just follow the suggestions in Chapter One for "Finding Hidden Mickeys Without Scavenger Hunting."

Hidden Treasures at Walt Disney World
An absolute must for true WDW fans! This book allows you to spot some of the real masterpieces of design throughout the whole Walt Disney World Resort. Some hidden Mickey's would never be discovered without this book. What makes it even better is that you are given clues to help you 'hunt' but then, if you are struggling,a tips section more or less tells you exactly where the hidden Mickey is. We have just returned from WDW and had a great time searching out hidden Mickeys which we had no idea existed.

Fun to do when stuck in a queue
The point of this book is to entertain you and the kids while waiting in a long queue in Disney World...and there are no shortage of those! Hidden Mickeys are mickey-shaped objects that the people at Disney have designed into every aspect of the parks, in the architecture, the art, the rides, the displays for the queues--they are everywhere and most people never notice them (because they are "hidden"). The book also offers you a little insider knowledge of the parks. It is not a guidebook, but a book that can enhance your Disney experience...especially if you have already been there a few times.

Not enough time!
Lovely book but did not find it practical. The kids were all ready to start looking for the hidden Mickey’s, but found when we got to the Magic Kingdom the rides took precedence! With everything that was going on such as rides, characters, food, grandma in the wheelchair, drinks, more rides, fireworks and much, much more we didn’t find the time for the book. This was our 12th visit to the Magic Kingdom and I thought we could have a nice wander round looking for ears. It would suit an “older” couple or family that aren’t too bothered about the rides, unfortunately the size of the Magic kingdom dictates, especially with young children that you must rush to see everything in the one day you are there. I will keep the book and use it again probably in about 10 years!
