Hidden Mickey's at Disneyland Resorts

As we all must be aware by now I am a fan of "family entertainment" and what is more "family entertainment" than Disneyland Parks?  NOTHING! 
So, I have been a few times and remembered reading something about "Hidden Mickey's".  Mickey's famous silhouette has been Easter-egged all over the park for those of us with nothing better to do while waiting in line or just enjoying the scenery.  So, I took a few pictures of some I found without a book or a guide and so therefore may be confirmed or in my imagination.  A few were pointed out to me by employees of the park, and no, I am not going to show you all of them. As my Dad would say, I'm probably reaching with some of them, but here you go anyway. 
Starting with the ones pointed out to me by Disney employees... 
In the same store behind the register is this painting.
Isn't her belt interesting?
Just remember, it's like looking at a magic eye poster, sometimes you have to know it's a sail boat to see the sail boat.
Across from Ariel's Grotto there is a shop
and inside there is this hidden Mickey.



This little hub cap Mickey is found
on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.


It may be reaching since it is plain as day
and on multiple lamps but I still think this is
a fantastic Mickey located on the way up Disneyland Drive. 
You can spot it easily enough while riding on the tram from the parking garage.
Tough to see because I took this at night with my phone but if you look at the truck hood you will see in the pin stripe detailing.  Right in between the two large swooping loops from left and right there is a little yellow circular Mickey in the top middle.



Found in Toon Town near Chip and Dales house you will find Mickey.


Mickey can be hiding in front of the Jambalaya window too.

Could that be Mickey hiding in the corners of this tile Near Aladin's Oasis?


On the trash cans on Main Street.

In the café pin striping on Main street.

In a very intentional shadow in line for Star Tours.  I had to go through the line again just so I could get this picture.

On the stone wall in Toon Town in line for Gaget's (extremely short) Go Coaster ride.


Also at Aladdin's Oasis in Disneyland.

Bubbly metal decorative at the Little Mermaid ride.  Multiple Mickey's here.

Now this is definitely hard and I am totally reaching but, I see it in the three darkest dots with the.... Oh forget it!  You see it or you don't.  I see it in the metal work on the main part of the lamp. Take it or leave it.  Oh, and this is at the Tower of Terror in the foyer.


two parter
This is the curtain at the Aladdin Musical.

And right under the flower coming down almost into the V-like opening right in the middle I see Mickey.
 

Well that's it and I hope it get's you excited about your next trip to the parks!  There are also Hidden Mickey Books available that tell all the known Mickey's at the parks and you could make a scavenger game of it if you wanted.  Great for those of you with Season Passes!
 

Catch you later kids.  Miss you and see you again soon!
