Hidden Mickeys

One of our favorite things to do when we visit the parks a Disney park or cruise ship is to look for "Hidden Mickeys".  These are basically anything that looks like the shape of Mickey's head.  You can make a family game out of locating them.

As a learning opportunity, you could create a list as you find them, take photos, and then have your kids create a spreadsheet or other documentation of them when you return home.

You can find Hidden Mickeys in the carpet, wallpaper, signs, decorations, clusters of objects placed in such a way they make Mickey's head, etc.  For example, look at the arrangement of mirrors in one of the bathrooms on the new Disney Dream cruise ship, as well as the walls and carpet in the hallway. 

Happy Hidden Mickey Hunting!!!!

Great theme park game -

One of my dear friends shared this game with our family on our last visit to Disney World. I'm sure she wouldn't mind me sharing it with all of you.

It's a fantastic time filler when you are waiting on transportation or in line for an attraction.

Everyone takes a turn, until you can no longer come up with a unique item to add. Decide what order each member of your party will speak. Choose a theme, such as "Disney Movies". Each person (one at a time) must say the title of a Disney movie. If you repeat the same movie title someone previously shared, you are out of the game. Keep going until there is one person left.

The object of the game is to be the last person remaining to only say a new item and not repeat an item already spoken.

This game could be played with an endless number of themes.

I hope I described this clearly. :) Post if you have any questions.
