The final Hidden Mickey is also formed by three circles and can be found on the left-hand side of the Renaissance scene just before the painter and sculptor. On the table with supplies, Guests can spot a classic Hidden Mickey formed by three colorful paint rings.

Living with the Land

Living with the Land is another attraction in Epcot that is home to several different Hidden Mickeys that Guests can spot while enjoying their serene ride through different environments and greenhouses.

Further into the greenhouses, lettuce can be found growing on both sides of the boat on specialized boards that deliver a delicate balance of nutrients. As the lettuce is harvested, the designs shift, but the different color lettuce heads are often grown to form a large classic Hidden Mickey!

The final Hidden Mickey on Living with the Land is in the scene where the laboratory can be spotted on the right-hand side of the vehicle. A hanging display holds several test tubes including three whose caps come together to form yet another classic Hidden Mickey.
