There's a fine Disney tradition of "Hidden Mickeys", whereby the famous three-circles shape of Mickey Mouse's head is hidden in a piece of furniture, architecture, artwork or, really, where ever. The theme parks are crawling with them, and I had fun hunting down as many as I could when in the studio's hat building.
