Special “Hidden Mickey” Appears TODAY for Mickey and Minnie’s Birthday!
Happy Birthday Mickey and Minnie! That’s right Disney friends- November 18th is Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s official birthday!
Mickey was officially introduced to the world on this date in 1928 with the animated Disney classic “Steamboat Willie.”

There are plenty of great ways to celebrate today, but there is one truly special event that only happens today, and at Magic Kingdom!
A special hidden Mickey (weather depending) makes an appearance today only.
Hidden Mickeys!
Hidden Mickeys are planted all around The Walt Disney World parks and resorts- what is your favorite spot?
It is a popular pastime for Disney fans to look for these hidden icons that are seamlessly blended into decor, attractions, and more.

Did you know there is one more hidden Mickey that pops up only once-a-year? This Hidden Mickey is tucked away in Magic Kingdom’s “Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid.”
How cool is this? The hidden image only appears for a few minutes on Mickey’s birthday and is cast by a cutout in the rock work. It is the result of clever and creative imagineers honoring the Disney icon.
At noon today, if the sun comes out we will see a perfect Mickey head. This photo was taken at 11:30 and you can see the sun peeking through.
Here is the cut out where the dial comes through!
At 11:40am the images are becoming brighter and clearer.
It is almost time- 5 minutes to go!
