At Disney's Hollywood Studios
• On the Great Movie Ride, there's an HM on the window above the bank in
the gangster scene.
• At Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D, take a good look at the top of the sign
listing five reasons for turning in your 3-D glasses, and note the balloons
in the film's final scene.
• In the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, note the bell for the elevator behind
Rod Serling in the film. There are more than eight HMs in this attraction.
• Outside Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, look for two HMs in the rotunda area's tile
floor. (Reportedly, the entire coaster is one giant HM.)
• By the way, the park's least Hidden Mickey is what's called the Earrfel Tower,
Disney's Hollywood Studios' tall water tower, which is fitted with a huge
pair of Mouseket-EARS.
In Animal Kingdom
• Look at the Boneyard in DinoLand U.S.A., where a fan and two hard hats
form an HM.
• There are 25 Hidden Mickeys at Rafiki's Planet Watch, where Mickey lurks
in the murals, tree trunks, and paintings of animals.
In the Resort Areas
• HMs are on the weather vane atop the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa's
convention center, in the interactive fountains at the entrance to Downtown
Disney Marketplace, and one forms a giant sand trap next to the green at
the Magnolia Golf Course's 6th hole.

Harrison Ford in full Indiana Jones mode while facing all of those snakes; Sigourney
Weaver fending off slimy aliens; Gene Kelly singin' in the rain; and arguably the best
Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller, giving his trademark yell while swinging across the jungle.
The action is enhanced by special effects, and outlaws hijack your tram en route. So pay
attention when the conductor warns, “Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy
night.” The setting is a full-scale reproduction of Hollywood's famous Mann's Chinese
Theatre, complete with handprints of the stars out front.
Note:
Though it's a classic, the
ride is somewhat dated and is often the target of rumors claiming it will be replaced or
upgraded (Disney remains closemouthed on the matter).
