Have you seen all these hidden Mickey's in Disney's Soarin attraction at Epcot?

Soarin is my favorite ride in all of Walt Disney World! I've rode it hundreds of times and yet I just recently found out that there are hidden Mickeys in some of the scenes. I've only ever been quick enough to notice the one in the Epcot scene when the fireworks are going off behind Spaceship Earth. I did a little research and here is what I found out about where the hidden Mickey's are located.

Hidden Mickey Locations – Scene by Scene

Some of these are confirmed hidden Mickeys and others are debated. You decide!

1.Swiss Alps / Matterhorn 

Rock formation Mickey: On one of the mountain ridges, three rounded rock shapes briefly align into a classic Mickey silhouette.

Snow on the Mountain: Snow patterns resembling Mickey's head.

2. Greenland Ice Fjords

 Three chunks of ice form a Mickey shape near the water’s surface as you glide forward. 

Whales surfacing: Three water splashes briefly align as a Mickey.

2. Sydney Harbour

Boat wake Mickey: Look down at the water—two smaller circular wakes beside a larger one briefly form Mickey as boats move through the harbor.

3. Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany)

Landscape Mickey: In the grassy area near the castle, shrubs/trees create a three-circle outline when viewed from above.

4. Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa)

Animal group Mickey: A group of animals on the savanna forms a loose Mickey shape when seen from the correct angle.

Elephants kicking up dust: Three circular dust clouds briefly form a Mickey shape on the ground.

5. Great Wall of China

Fields near the wall: Farm plots/ hay stacks arranged in Mickey head pattern.

Wall curve Mickey: The bends of the wall and nearby terrain briefly create a subtle Mickey silhouette—this one is very quick.

6. Great Pyramids of Giza

Camel shadows Mickey: The shadows of camels and riders on the sand form a hidden Mickey near the pyramids.

7. Taj Mahal

Garden Mickey: The circular pools and landscaping in front of the Taj Mahal align into a very clean Hidden Mickey when centered.

8. Monument Valley (USA)

Mesa Mickey: Three buttes—one large, two smaller—form one of the easier-to-spot rock Mickeys.

9. Fiji Islands

Island cluster Mickey: Three small islands in turquoise water form a classic Mickey head.

Iguazú Falls

Mist Mickey: In the spray near the falls, darker water patterns briefly create a Mickey shape.

10. South Pacific

Ocean and shoreline: Three coral formations visible under the water.

 11. Eiffel Tower (Paris)

Streetlight Mickey: Three glowing streetlights below the tower form a Hidden Mickey when viewed straight on.

 12. EPCOT 

Garden Mickey: Circular landscaping patterns near Spaceship Earth form a deliberate Hidden Mickey.

Fireworks sparkle Mickey (subtle): Some guests notice a brief Mickey-shaped sparkle effect in the lights.

Some of these hidden Mickeys I believe are a real stretch to call them a hidden Mickey, and others, I still can't see. Let us know which hidden Mickey's you see and which ones you will now watch out for!

This Spring/Summer, Soarin Around the World will be transformed into Soar Across America, as a way to celebrate America's 250th birthday!  You read that blog post HERE!
