    Boarding a train in a barn is probably an homage to Walt’s backyard miniature ride on railway. He kept his trains in a barn.

    1:18 the ice cream is a hidden mickey!
    9:22 the detergent ad also has a Mickey made up of the bubbles!
    10:57 there’s a mickey on the power panel thing behind the trash
    11:08 it’s literally right there on the wall in plain sight
    11:17 it’s orange and on the machine on the far right
    12:00 all the fireworks are Mickey heads!
    These are all of the hidden mickeys that weren’t already pointed out but I’m sure I missed some!

Also, the back of the dumpster are the names of a lot of imagineer's kids. AANNDD there's another word-mickey on the back of the bushes in the finale. Fun info!

I didn't even think to look for one in this room. You can see a small corner of him appearing very briefly at 13:27! GREAT FIND!

    11:09 Its on the wall clearly.
    11:12 there is a mickey almost on the left which are gauges.
    13:12 that machine on the left when you see the chimney like piston come down you can see a small mickey head which are also gauges.

    You were right about the twister thing! Where sorcerer Mickey was, it was originally supposed to be the Twister scene. But there were specifics in Disney's contract with MGM that made them cut the twister part. The way the area surrounding the screen of Sorcerer Mickey is part of what they built for the twister before they had to cut the twister scene out.

    Hidden Mickey Spoilers:
    Spotted one on one of the targets at 6:25, another on the sign 9:21, possibly the parking post on the left 9:38, obvious one pointed out at 10:57, on the far left gear of the smasher 11:00, VARIOUS yellow light ones 11:02, obvious one 11:07, fireworks at 12:03, and 12:12 not sure what that figure is, but the splashing pattern could possibly be a Mickey. The written "MICKEY"s were pointed out blatantly as well as some others straight up mentioned in the video, so didn't mention those. Let me know what I missed!
