Toontown is SO fun. So what if half the stuff is made out of plastic? Mickey’s growing a crop of reeeeeally big pumpkins in his garden. (Purists: You can occasionally see real pumpkins with Mickey ears at EPCOT in the experimental greenhouse.)

I love the wall murals at Rafiki’s PlanetWatch. We could spend hours there examining every lush, vibrant creature that cavorts across those high walls and ceilings. This fellow wasn’t giving up his secret easily. Can you find the classic Mickey?

Decorative ironwork twists itself into a fun Hidden Mickey to entertain you while you stand in line for 4 hours. *sigh*
