A second Hidden Mickey can be found on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror after guests have boarded their elevators and found themselves at the mercy of the tower.

Just before entering into the drop shaft, guests see a beam of light that comes together in a central spot before disappearing. Just before disappearing, the light becomes a classic Hidden Mickey.
4 – The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’s Mickey Doll
One of the most thrilling attractions in Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be found at the end of Sunset Boulevard. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror invites guests into the Hollywood Tower Hotel, which was abandoned years ago after five guests disappeared into The Twilight Zone after their elevator was struck by lightning. Before boarding service elevators to head for a similar fate, guests can enjoy a preshow in the hotel’s lobby, where they learn the creepy history of the building.

While the band can be seen in the background, guests should look on the floor of the studio to spot a Hidden Mickey made out of coiled wires.
2 – Slinky Dog Dash Queue
Toy Story Land transports guests into the adventurous outdoors of Andy’s backyard and offers plenty of Hidden Mickey’s. First up is Slinky Dog Dash. This multi-launch, family-friendly roller coaster careens around bends and “catches air” over camelback humps through the land. Guests approaching the ride launch see Andy’s plans sketched out in Crayola crayons on notebook paper. Glue bottles, empty toy boxes, and stray coaster parts and pieces are strewn about – Andy’s pet project was clearly a work in progress when he was called away. But that’s when the toys will play! While approaching the loading area, guests are treated to hand-drawn plans for the attraction, drawn by Andy. The plans include a cloud formation in the shape of a Hidden Mickey in the upper right corner.

Guests eventually join Engineer Goofy on a train ride on the Runnamuck Railroad, following Mickey and Minnie through the park on their quest for that perfect picnic. And with Goofy at the helm, what could possibly go wrong? A lot, actually! While enjoying the attraction, guests go through many different scenes and there are so many Hidden Mickey’s to find.
