If you live in Florida, especially if your address is near Walt Disney World, you can expect to be visited often by friends and relatives. Occasionally, you'll be pleasantly surprised by friends from long ago.
Judy, a past college friend of my wife and mine, recently journeyed to central Florida. She was accompanied by her husband Steve, daughter Amy, and grandkids Isaac and Noah. We rendezvoused in the Magic Kingdom, had lunch, and wandered around looking for Hidden Mickeys.
Judy's family met Mickey at the Judge's Tent in Mickey's Toontown Fair. I showed them the classic Mickey images in the apples near the end of the queue under the video screen and inside the blue ribbon on the wall behind Mickey.
In the photo, Steve is holding a shy Noah, and Amy stands left of Judy.
The Hidden Mickeys game interested Isaac from the start. He quickly discerned the difference between Hidden and decorative Mickeys. In the photo, Isaac stands between Mickey and Minnie. Notice the blue classic Mickey in the middle of the blue ribbon on the wall behind Mickey and Minnie in the photos.
We wandered around Tomorrowland and shot targets in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. The boys got their photos with Buzz Lightyear at his greeting area near the Carousel of Progress.
I pointed out one of my favorite Hidden Mickeys traced in the cement close to a support beam near Astro Orbiter on the side toward Space Mountain, between Cool Scanner and The Lunching Pad. This image always inspires Hidden Mickey hunters, newbies and oldsters alike!

The Astro Orbitor is the one Hidden Mickey that we have searched for and couldn't find! It drives us crazy! My daughter said to memorize the leaves in the pic so we could find it in the future...HA-HA! We will search again in September! :)

I found a Hidden Mickey at the beginning of Peter Pan's Flight. When your ship first takes off, look down at a table and chairs in the nursery on the right hand side. A plate and two cups make up this gem. Happy hunting...

I also found, not exactly a Hidden Micky, but something special. When I was on Peter Pan, in the nursery, the blocks spell DISNEY and P PAN.
