February Afternoon in Epcot

I met up with Valerie, Hailey and Alex in the seating area behind the Yorkshire County Fish Shop in Epcot’s United Kingdom Pavilion. Valerie is a very active Disney fan blogger, and her son and daughter like Disney, too! Hailey interviewed me about Hidden Mickeys for a school project. In the photo from the left is Valerie, me, Hailey and Alex.

Epcot had a good-sized crowd on this cool day in mid-February.

My son and I are pictured in etchings on a stone block in front of Spaceship Earth. The photo was taken back when I still had hair!

In the Project Tomorrow interactive area at the exit of Spaceship Earth, two sets of classic Mickey bubbles float by on the overhead blue screens. (Thanks to Tim Rachuba, rjf1423, and Frank Tonra, Jr.)

Project Tomorrow Hidden Mickey

I took the opportunity to check out a Hidden Mickey in the United Kingdom Pavilion. I’m worried this image may disappear some day, but it’s been in place now for several years. On the right side of the inner street, a small Hidden Mickey is in the Crown & Crest Shoppe, inside a left rear cabinet post. You have to put your head inside the cabinet and look left to see it. A similar image behind the cash register nearby is not reliably present. (Thanks to Donna McMurrey).

Steve Barrett is a doctor and Disney nut whose favorite Walt Disney World memory is strolling through the Magic Kingdom with his young son on his shoulders. Not surprisingly, his favorite spot in the World is anywhere there's a Hidden Mickey. He suggests that all visitors take some time to chat with cast members, especially when looking for Hidden Mickeys, as they can enrich your Disney experience and make it even more magical.

  1. This is really sad I know, but I see Hidden Mickeys EVERYWHERE I go, and they are not usually placed by Disney cast members ….. For example, I live in the UK and there is currently an ident that plays on the TV channel “ITV” before some programmes in the evening that shows clouds floating like bubbles upwards in a clear blue sky. One set of cloud/bubbles forms a very clear HM, and both myself and my sister separately spotted this! We need to get out more ….

  2. Hi Steve,
    I am sure you have picked up on this. But I’d like to mention it anyways. There are three hidden Mickey’s within the Olympic symbol!
