Laptop Lunches bento: Hidden Mickeys

Do you know about Hidden Mickeys? I first heard of them about 9 years ago when I was still living in California. I was absolutely enamored with the idea of them!

From Wiki: A Hidden Mickey is a representation of Mickey Mouse that has been inserted subtly into the design of a ride, attraction, or other location in a Disney theme park or elsewhere on Disney properties. 

There are whole websites and blogs out there devoted to chronicling all the hidden Mickeys in Disney locations. It's like a whole Where's Waldo thing, only funner and cooler because it's Mickey Mouse and not some random dude in a striped shirt, and it's at Disney World and not just a dizzying illustration in a giant picture book. 

A couple examples:

Easy one! Check out the rock formation in the center! :)

Can you spot it? It's a tricky one.... look directly under the wrist!

I didn't find too many Hidden Mickey's this trip. Most of the time I was trying to keep eyes on my kids (and failing) , not scoping out Mickey Heads. But I saw some obvious ones; an outline of stones on the floor of the giant aquarium in Living with the Seas at Epcot, and one place setting at one end of the long dining table in the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom was unmistakably a Hidden Mickey. :)

Okay, so now that you have had a crash course in Hidden Mickeys, here's my Hidden Mickey bento.

Packed in a Laptop Lunches 2.0 box:
- cucumber, cut into sticks
- Goldfish crackers
- leftover pizza pinwheels (from a take-out my hubs picked up while traveling home late)
- kiwi fruit

Technically, this lunch contains TWO Hidden Mickeys, although only one was intentional. The other one sort of snuck up on me and surprised me after the fact. Hidden Mickeys can be very sneaky. 

Can you find them? :)

This is how the Laptop Lunches looked before placing it in Paige's lunch bag. I used lids on two of the inner dishes to keep juices contained.

Hidden Mickey Hint: the two Hidden Mickeys are still visible in the second photo!  Teehee!
