Of course, these characters will not always be hiding in plain sight, guests will have to look high and low as they walk through each country.

If you don’t want to hear any spoilers on character locations or you have a trip planned before the festival ends, now would be a good time to go to check out some of our other theme park content.

In the France Pavilion, families can spot Remy and Emile nibbling on some fancy tarts, outside of Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie.

Across from L’Artisan des Glaces, the trio of kittens from “The Aristocats” can be seen walking on a ledge above the sidewalk.

Morocco

You better keep an eye on your valuables as you walk through the street markets of the Morocco Pavilion. It’s not other guests you have to worry about, but a mischievous primate who’s looking for shiny items to steal.

China

When you reach the China Pavilion, Mushu is creating quite a stir near the House of Tea. Keep an eye out for other characters from “Mulan” inside the pavilion. It looks like someone lost their Little Brother.

United States

If you’re planning on taking the American Adventure, be sure to look for a little mouse waiting for a lighting storm. If you thought he was one of the mice from “Cinderella”, you would be wrong. The mouse is in fact Amos from the Disney short titled “Ben and Me”.

Italy

If the evening star isn’t up and you need to make a wish stat, look no further than the Italy Pavilion. There, you will find your official conscious Jiminy Cricket waiting to spot the Blue Fairy.

Bored of his time in Corona, Pascal has made his way to Germany to blend in among the festival decorations. The crafty chameleon may be hiding in more than one place, so look carefully.

Refreshment Outpost

Over at the Refreshment Outpost, you can spot the hyenas from “The Lion King”. The trio can be seen lounging on top of the straw roof dining on some theme park grub. We’re sure anything beats the food at the elephant graveyard.

Japan

All the way from Tokyo DisneySea, Duffy and his friend Gelatoni have been spotted getting in the spirit and creating art of their own inside the Japan Pavilion. Is that considered a hidden Mickey?

Norway

It may be sunny and warm in the Sunshine State, but that won’t stop a handful of Snowgies (yes, that’s what they’re called) from enjoying their day above the Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe.

If you’re looking for a guide to the Land of the Dead, look no further than Dante. While he may not be the brightest alebrije in the bunch, he is undoubtedly the cutest.
