a partial or complete impression of Mickey Mouse placed by the Imagineers and artists to blend into the designs of Disney attractions, hotels, restaurants, and other areas
a subtle Mickey Mouse silhouette/image, somewhat hidden and not immediately obvious, located variously throughout the Disney theme parks
A Hidden Mickey is a subtle formation of a silhouette of the head of Mickey Mouse and his two ears, or a more complete representation of Mickey Mouse (such as Mickey mixed in with a crowd or in the background). Mickeys may be painted, made up of objects (such as rocks, or three plates on a table), or be references such as someone wearing Mickey Mouse Club "ears" in a painting.
