Hidden Mickeys: Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secrets

There's an extra special way to enjoy Walt Disney World and this book is your guide. Hunting for Hidden Mickeys (images of Mickey Mouse cleverly concealed in WDW's theme parks, restaurants, hotels, and other areas by Disney artists and designers) is fun for all and a bona fide vacation mission for many Disney World fans.

Author Steve Barrett adds to the fun by organizing the search into six separate scavenger hunts, complete with clues, hints, and points to be scored. There's a hunt for each of the four major theme parks, plus one for the resorts, and one for all the other areas. Compete with family and friends, or just use the Index to Mickey's Hiding Places in the back of the book to look for Mickey wherever you find yourself in WDW.

This guidebook to WDW's best kept secrets has been completely updated in this new fourth edition. You'll find more than 200 new Mickey sightings-over 800 hidden Mickeys in all!

Steven M. Barrett paid his first visit to Disney World in the late 1980s, after attending a medical conference in Orlando. He immediately fell under its spell, visiting it twice yearly with family and friends for the next several years, offering touring advice to the less initiated, and reading almost everything written about the WDW theme parks. When a job in his field of emergency medicine opened up not far from WDW in 1998, Barrett, a Texas native, Air Force veteran, and former Oklahoma City medical professor, relocated to the Orlando area from Houston, Texas. He began visiting the WDW parks every chance he got to enjoy the attractions, sample the restaurants, and escort visiting friends and relatives. Eventually, their feedback made him realize he had better advice on touring the parks than they could get anywhere else. So he wrote the guidebook The Hassle-Free Walt Disney World Vacation, which includes customized, flexible touring plans for adults and teens, families with younger children, and seniors, along with lots of insider tips gleaned from his almost weekly visits to WDW. His interest in Hidden Mickeys led him to take pen in hand once again. This book, now in it's fourth edition, is the result.
