Hidden Mickeys (purchase at the LP Store)
Some people look for previously undiscovered planets, or species, or medical cures. Some people look for Mickey Mouse in the woodwork of hotels. Seriously, though, everyone has their own hobbies and forms of relaxation and recreation, and such things help us to concentrate on the work we have in our lives.

I'm more interested in the little inside jokes where Imagineers put themselves or their information (birthday, hire date, phone extension, etc.) into things at the Resorts, or include tributes to previous attractions in new ones. For instance, the fact that the Mighty Microscope from Adventure Thru Inner Space can be seen while riding Star Tours, or the tribute to the attraction's narration heard on a pay phone upstairs at Disneyland Park's Innoventions building – that is something I seek out.

Nevertheless, I know that there are a lot of people who are very much into seeking out hidden Mickeys (HMs), and Disney seems eager to indulge them. That's where the Hidden Mickeys guide serves a need. This conveniently sized book doesn't just tell you where the hidden representations of Mickey Mouse can be found. Nope. This thing explains a little about the whole obsession of tracking these things, and even what qualifies as an HM. You see, there's the "classic" Hidden Mickey of the three intersecting circles (representing his head and ears), and then there are many other ways Mickey could be depicted or represented. This can also apply to other Disney characters. In addition to these explanations, the guide literally makes a game out of looking for hidden Mickeys, complete with clues, hints, scores, rules, etc. However, if you just want to find hidden Mickeys casually as you visit, you can use the guide without doing a scavenger hunt.

This is another offering from The Intrepid Traveler, and again Foster & Foster has put together a cover that says "Disney/Mickey Mouse" without violating Disney copyrights by using the typical Mickey Mouse colors and one of his ears.

There are no pictures, but there are maps of the parks and the overall Resort.

If you're in to hidden Mickeys, a book like this can mean extra days of fun at WDW.
