Early Walt Disney Studio artists were famous for hiding secrets, caricatures and characters in the cartoons and animated features they created. When several of those animators became the first Disneyland Imagineers, the practice continued at the parks. Walt Disney Imagineers originally created Hidden Mickeys as inside jokes, then began hiding Mickeys in and around the Disney Parks and attractions. Since then, Hidden Mickeys have grown to become a popular part of everything Disney.

Here are a few Mickeys that we have found at Disneyland and California Adventure.
