4 out of 5 stars Fun and distracting (in a good way)   June 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My kids love this book.

It's a list of places that the Imagineers have incorporated the Mickey Mouse shape into Disney World parks and resort hotels, some easy to find, some difficult. (For example, we found one in the queue for Expedition Everest, on a lantern that had dents in it in the shape of Mickey's classic head.) It was good fun for when waits would get the better of the young'uns. Gave them something else to do besides look at the myriad of details that are there already.

If that sounds good for you, this book is worth latching onto...

What a cute and fun idea. My kids, ages 7 and 5, loved looking for hidden mickeys during our second trip to Disney. Definately a good book for repeat visitors to the park - first timers will be way to busy looking at everything else to search for hidden mickeys.


4 out of 5 stars Hidden Mickeys at Disneyland   April 5, 2008

The book gave us everything we were looking for. It will be fun to go to Disneyland and find the hidden mickeys now that we have an idea of where to look. I would recommend it for anyone who is a Mickey and Disneyland fan like we are.

Barrett takes a trip to DisneyWorld to a new level. Most people walk through the parks oblivious to the little details that the Imagineers have included in each park and resort. This slim book, 220 pages and 8.9" x 4", fits easily in your backpack to provide you with scavenger hunts for all of the known Hidden Mickeys at the DisneyWorld parks and resorts. Each chapter begins with clues to the locations of the Hidden Mickeys at each location. If you follow the clues, you will have a quick tour though each park/resort. If you just want the answers, Barrett provides the answers at the end of each chapter. Either way, you will learn more about the parks and resorts and also find these little treasures.

Using this book, it was easy to engage everyone in the family in the search. The kids will enjoy discovering these Mickeys and will also make you look at your surroundings. While searching, I was surprised at the number of people that took interest in our hunts. They never thought to look closely at their environment. In the Magic Kingdom, I told a few people that there windows, above Main Street, that actually meant something. They never thought to look above eye level. Since we visited the parks more than once during our stay, this book made the additional forays into the parks more interesting and fun. If you feel as though you have seen and done everything in a particular park or resort, this book will make your next visit more engaging. Two of my favorite Hidden Mickeys were found at Coronado Springs. The third was in the concrete at Hollywood Studios.

Barret explains why some of these are significant, which will add a little Disney history to your visit, too.

This is a great book for anyone that is planning a visit to DisneyWorld and want to experience something a little different. And it will probably entertain your kids, too, no matter how old they are.



4 out of 5 stars Fun book while waiting in lines   February 8, 2008
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

We went to WDW Feb 08 and this was a great thing to have along while waiting in line. It created a distraction for 6 and 8 yr old (and me). A fun bonus thing for family on return trip and would recommend. Book is set up like a scavenger hunt but I just went right to how/where to find hidden mickey. Warning! This book can also distract you while riding the rides. All of sudden, you are looking for HM instead of paying attention to ride and attractions.
