I am a dad of four that loves visiting the park. Due to distance, i only get to go once or twice a year. Pretty soon my kids will be dragging ME to each ride.

Anyone at the park today, can you PLEASE verify in POC if there is another hidden mickey in Jack Sparrow's treasure room. This one I think I saw was directly over his left shoulder in the center of the back of his chair. Thanks!

Have a hidden Mickey question for all those masters out there... On Pirates, I finally saw the hidden Mickey on the armor chest... Just after, I was sure I saw the same hidden Mickey over the shoulder of Capt Jack in the very last part More...
I have never noticed anything on captain jack but I'll keep my eyes open next time. Then again I could never find the hidden Mickey on davey jones hat and I knew where to look too so I'm prob not the best person to verify the existence of hidden mickeys - AgentP113.1 #2851 5-28-11 9:32PMLike Reply

The few weeks after Easter and before Memorial Day are usually a good time to go (except Mother's day weekend). Also, if there is rain in the forecast, go! (usually, scares a lot of people away) - BaseballMickey_CM2849.5 #15 3-29-11 1:51PMLike Reply
