This hidden Mickey was shown to us by a cast member. You must be standing on the lower level of The Land Pavilion behind the fountain. The entrance (on the 2nd floor) should be in front of you. Now look up into the glass part of the building. The fountain reflects into the glass to form a hidden Mickey. It is easiest to see when the balloons are "down". This was reportedly an "accidental" hidden Mickey, but it is plainly there.
REPORTED: Beth Cobb 05 MAY 02
At night, stand by the balcony in front of the restaurant and look up at the glass panes in the ceiling. A Mickey head is made by the reflection of the lights outside.

When you rotate past the lightning storm, there are three cloud layers; next to one of these layers is Mickey on his back. His nose, ears and hands across his chest are visible, similar to the one in Splash Mountain.
REPORTED: Joy Kovacs 31 AUG 96
There is a large mural that you rotate past showing a lot of different plants under the sun. Mickey can be found on the (looking at the mural) right side of the mural just after you pass the house from the boat ride. This Hidden Mickey is HUGE so think big when trying to find him. It is a face-on picture. The easiest thing to find is Mickey's nose, which is a large leaf (maybe 1 foot across) and oval shaped. This leaf/nose is painted in front of a light green background of grass, which is also Mickey's face (the part that is usually flesh-toned or white). Above the nose are three palm-like leaves (also on the light green background). Two of them are the same size and shape. These are the eyes. Ignore the middle leaf, it is not part of the Mickey. From here, look directly above and to the right of the light green grass. There is a branch going up and to the left. Look for the thinner branch coming off of this where the leaves are directly touching the first branch. This second branch curves upward, forming part of Mickey's ear. If you follow this curve, you'll see yet another branch curving down from above which finishes Mickey's right ear. On the left side of Mickey's face are two pink and blue flowers. Curving upwards, they form the left side of Mickey's face. A little past this to the left are two stems 2-3 inches thick going up, and both split near the top. The leftmost fork on the left and the rightmost fork on the right form Mickey's left ear. Finally is Mickey's smile. The grass at the bottom of the mural forms this. The large piece of grass that is the tallest on the right side in the corner of the mural is the right side of his smile, and the left side is formed by the piece of grass that is separate from the group - it is the last one that is lined in yellow. The bottom of his smile isn't there because the mural doesn't go down far enough!
REPORTED: Joy Kovacs 15 AUG 97
There's a mural in the rotating "Garden Grill" restaurant. As you enter, walk to the left (clockwise, against the rotation). In the middle of the mural is a blazing sun. Far below (at eye level), and to the right, you can see lily pads or some other roundish leaf. Above the lily pads are some vegetation. At the border of lily pad and vegetation is a hidden Mickey. It's no bigger than your outstretched hand, and may not have been the top layer of paint, but I can see it. REPORTED: Ben 21 MAR 94
In the same mural, look at the rightmost lily pads. A branch grows in front of the pads, forking once then again. Between the branches of the first fork, you'll see a lavender leaf. This is Mickey's left ear (your right). To the left is a misshapen ear, and a mouselike nose points to your right. You may see the detail of the mouse's left eye. Is this Mickey? Has Disney been infiltrated by other mouse-illustrators? I'm not sure.
REPORTED: Ben 21 MAR 94
This one in the left side of the mural. There are three flowers, two blue, one purple. Above the left most one (the blue one I think) is a fern. Count six leaves up on the fern. Mickey's eyes are two black circles above the 6th leaf. His mouth, which is open, is below the 6th leaf. His ears are green and one is totally above the 7th leaf, one partially above the 7th and partially below it. His nose extends toward the right. Mickey is looking slightly downward to the left. It is a 3/4 view of him. It is an old-fashioned Mickey (more like the Mickeys in "Plane Crazy" or "Steamboat Willie"). If you have a hard time finding Mickey, just ask a Cast Member who works in the restaurant. They all know about him.
