That is not an ACTUAL Mickey. It is three circular shapes put together in a particular way!
On disney channel the word "hidden" Mickey is used not in the sense of "obstructed from view".
Viewers are encouraged to identify three circular shapes positioned in a particular way, and are given positive reinforcement when this is achieved. Those Mickeys are not "hidden" in the conventional sense - they are "hidden" in that viewers need to stretch their imagination and retrieve schemata filed in their brains in order to "see" the Mickeys.
But that Mickey is on a roadsign directing people to Disneyland. If it was like, three bullet holes in an unrelated sign, fortuitously arranged in the suggestive mickey pattern, that would be a hidden Mickey. As well as very sinister form of criminal damage.
Not, I'll grant you, as sinsister as the whole hidden Mickey phenomenon.

Strictly speaking, that's not a hidden Mickey, but an actual Mickey. It would be a hdden Micky if it was not originally intended to be a Mickey.
I may be overthinking this.
Certainly if they're trying to hide that Mickey, they're making a poor fist of it.

Yeah, in this instance the three circles suggesting the shape of Mickey's head are... Mickey's head. Sheesh.
I mean unless it isn't. Unless it's indicating three interlinked roundabouts en route to the airport. In which case I apologise.
