HELP WITH THE APP FROM MARISSA D
Marissa is a good friend and an amazing singer. We met in the church band, and quickly discovered that we're both Disneyland fans. She's also an Easter Egg fan, and has taken an interest in Hidden Mickeys.
She and her sister and future bro-in-law recently went to the park, and she tried out the site for the first time. They used it the way I intended -- while waiting in line, look through the list of Mickeys, and make some new discoveries along the way.
Everything worked great with the exception of the Checklists, which didn't seem to be updating regularly. After asking a few questions, I realized the issue with them is that they won't update without a refresh. So if you go to the Checklist first, then to the Hidden Mickey listing, check the box, and then use the back arrow to go to the Checklist again, you won't see it updated until you refresh the page.
Not really a "bug", but kind of an "annoyance". Going to look into auto-refreshing checklists whenever they are viewed, but I'm not sure if all browsers will honor that from smart phones.
It's mostly good news, and I'm glad to see that the site is working the way it was intended.
OTHER HIDDEN CHARACTERS CHECKLIST?
I'm thinking about doing one of these, but it's starting to feel like the checklists will need to be organized in a different way. I added all three checklists to the "Where To Next?" templates, so they're easy to get to. But if I add another one, I'll have to see about adding that to the template as well.
Another option would be to add a checkbox that activates the OHCs on the regular checklists. That way they can be filtered off and on whenever needed. I looked into that once before, but was unable to get ChatGPT to figure out how to do it.
HIDDEN MICKEY COUNT
As of 6-Sep-25:
- 932 Sightings
- 628 Unknowns
- 225 Confirmed Hidden Mickeys
- 79 Others (Decor, Wishful Thinking, Other Hidden Characters)
The land with the most Hidden Mickeys is Mickey's Toon Town, which currently has 56 confirmed Mickeys, and 78 Unknowns. It'll be interesting to see if Toon Town will eventually have more than half of all Disneyland Hidden Mickeys.
RECENT SIGHTINGS
The yellow Mickey above the "Sold Out" sign in Runaway Railway is one of my favorites. I just spotted it recently, as it's pretty hard to see. But the other interesting thing about it is that you never see ALL of it at once. I've only been able to capture 2/3 of it on camera so far. It's clearly a Hidden Mickey, but due to the position of all the signs, it's just hard (maybe impossible?) to see all of it.
Maybe I'll see the whole thing if I'm in a completely different position in the Carnival room ... like maybe over to the far left when I first enter.
My other favorite from our last trip is the ballet poster that's BEHIND you when you enter Daisy's Dance Studio. It never occurred to me to look back there until our last trip. It's a CLASSIC Hidden Mickey, as it is placed in an area that you are NOT LOOKING AT. The action is right in front of you the whole time. It's a great Hidden Mickey.
That's all for this month. As always, this is a good place to discuss Hidden Mickeys, so leave comment if you'd like to have a conversation. Happy Hunting!
