Searching for Hidden Mickeys is a fun FREE activity to do at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.
Whenever we stay on Disney property, we always make sure to go on a quest for hidden Mickeys. It’s a great, low-budget activity that you can do at your own pace. It can also be a convenient way to pass the time before dining reservations or on days you are not visiting the theme parks.
In case you don’t know, hidden Mickeys are subtle representations of Mickey Mouse. To recognize a hidden Mickey, look for a circle that represents Mickey’s face with two circles above it that represent his ears.
15 Hidden Mickeys at the Grand Floridian:
Hidden Mickey #1
Before you even step inside the Grand Floridian’s main lobby, you can find hidden Mickeys outside. Look up at the weather vanes of some of the resort buildings, and you will see a classic hidden Mickey on the weather vanes.
Hidden Mickey #2
For the next hidden Mickey, we recommend going to the main lobby area, as this Mickey can be found on the resort’s luggage carts. Once you locate a cart, you’ll see the three-circle Mickey cutout design.
Hidden Mickey #3
As you walk into the main lobby of the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you will find this hidden Mickey on the marble flooring. Look down at the marble floors, and you’ll find not only Mickey but also other classic Disney characters: Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald!
Hidden Mickey #4
The next hidden Mickey is also found on the main lobby’s marble floors. For this one, look for a square corner with a green background, and you’ll find Mickey standing out in an orange-marble outline.
Hidden Mickey #5
Look at the main lobby’s carpet to find the next hidden Mickey. Throughout the carpet’s design, you’ll find red and gold Mickey shapes.
Hidden Mickey #6
You will find our final main lobby hidden Mickey on the wallpaper. On the wallpaper’s design, you’ll see a collection of Mickey shapes.
Do you see them???
Hidden Mickey #7
Near the main lobby, you’ll find the resort’s main gift shop, M. Mouse Mercantile. On the shop’s sign, there is a three-dimensional hidden Mickey connected to the banner that reads, “mercantile.”
Hidden Mickey #8
The next hidden Mickey can be found over at the Grand Floridian Café. Look down at the carpet for a red stripe. Within the stripe, there is a white design where you can see this hidden Mickey.
The Grand Floridian Café is a casual breakfast, lunch, and dinner option at this resort. It’s easy to find as it’s located near the main lobby.
Hidden Mickey #9
Head over to Victoria and Albert’s, one of Disney’s most elegant restaurants, to find another hidden Mickey. On the carpet between the entrance’s podium and the formal dining area, you’ll find a single golden Mickey shape within the carpet’s pattern.
Unfortunately, when I visited, the restaurant wasn’t open yet, so I couldn’t get a picture. 🙂
If you are looking to enjoy a high-end dining experience while at the Grand Floridian Resort, Victoria & Albert’s is a great option to consider. It’s easy to find as it’s located in the main lobby area.
Hidden Mickey #10

The next two Hidden Mickeys are found at the Grand Floridian Convention Center.
Hidden Mickey #11
Head over to the Grand Floridian Convention Center to find the next hidden Mickey. Once you are inside the main atrium, look up, and you’ll see a mural that includes a Mickey balloon.
