 Hidden Mickey?
First of all, any Mickey that seems very large and elaborate or very intricate, such as the formations of a cave or even the shapes of the parks themselves, is probably not an honest-to-goodness Hidden Mickey.
A Hidden Mickey should be unique to its surroundings; if there are bunches of balloons in a hand or round shapes on a light fixture, you are bound to see something that could qualify, but is most likely not an intentional Hidden Mickey.
A Mickey may be upside down or sideways, but when pointed out, should be relatively clear, and not stretched out or partially obliterated like the Star Tours blast.
