I know the Casting building has been confirmed several times over, but I want to tell everyone that they should really check out the building if they have a chance, starting with the handles on the front door. Inside there are several murals and a lot of amusing tromp l'oeill paintings. It's not exactly a tourist destination, but no one bothered us when we took pictures of the murals.

My son and I were parasailing. We used the service of Sammy Duvall's Watersports Centre from the Contemporary Resort. In the water, near the dock of Discovery Island, my son spotted a Hidden Mickey.

Vista Way & The Commons
The hidden Mickey that I saw, and had one of my roommates confirm I wasn't crazy, was in the wall of the living room, Price Management's maintenance crew paint the appartments in between every group that comes and goes, and they paint the walls flat white, with a semi-glossy Mickey on the wall in each living room. It's easy to see if the light is right. I saw it the first few day I was there.

On the way out of the park, heading from the Epcot parking lot towards I4 and 192, I saw a large Billboard for Disney Members with a "hidden Mickey." I don't remember the exact wording since I was driving and alone at the time, but it was something like "Disney Club Members are Going Places!" The billboard shows Mickey skiing in mountains on one side, and some beach scene on the right, etc. On the left side , above and to the left of Mickey skiing is a cloud formation that forms a rather obvious Mickey. Given its a cloud, I know its not just Decor. I thought this may have been reported already, but I couldn't find it on the pages.

Some of the road signs on the Walt Disney World highways feature Hidden Mickeys, or least hidden, one-eared Mickeys. I don't think they're all like that. However, the bus from Fort Wilderness to Disney Studios (and other buses to Disney from the Transportation Center area as well, I believe) pass at least one such sign after leaving the Transportation Center for the long back road that passes the Fort Wilderness main entrance.

Some of the Disney busses used for transportation on the WDW property have instrument clusters that form a hidden Mickey. The busses are GMC models with the 6 instruments to the right of the driver. The large air pressure guage forms the head and the oil pressure and water temperature guages form the ears. Due to the positioning of the guages, Mickey is looking up to the left. The GMC busses that only have the three instrument cluster do not exhibit this hidden Mickey.
