Hidden Mickey Tour

At the last (on land) Magic Meets in 2009 I had an opportunity to bid on a Hidden Mickey Tour with Dr. Steve Barrett, author of the Hidden Mickey books.  This was a silent auction and it came down to the last second!  Well, I actually didn't win.  The auction was benefitting Lou's Dream Team, so Dr. Barrett offered a second tour to 2nd place - therefore I won too!

What is a Hidden Mickey?  It's an image of Mickey, hidden in the parks and resorts, or on a ride.  Something the Imagineer's do to have a little fun and another level entertainment for the guests.  Sometimes there are other hidden characters or nods to previous rides or attractions.  We decided to tour the Magic Kingdom:
