Well, here is my own attempt at a conclusive hidden Mickey List..I have
seen the other list and noticed I have many additions, but i don't have
a copy of it.  Anyway, these are ALL from personal experience::

EPCOT Center:

In the mural about Body Wars, Mickey is painted clearly in the green brocoli
like stuff in the mural over the ride. He is as plain as day if you have
patience to find him.

In the Land, the lights as you walk in the door form a large circle and two
small circles on the carpet.  I have seen this and was also shown it by
the girl working there at the time.  She tried to explain the locations 
of many others in the Land, but I was unable to find them.

In Spaceship earth, a child is wearing Mickey Mouse ears in the back seat
of a car.

In the Norwegian Pavilion, there is a Viking wearing Mickey Mouse ears on 
the ship.  ALSO, if you look closely, the huge mariner on the right side is
wearing a Mickey Mouse watch (ghosted Mickey circles).  And the REALLY tough
one here is the stewardess with the clipboard.  If you look at her chest,
HER right, your left, you will see a Mickey profile in the shadows of her
white shirt..He is a little distorted but definitely Mickey..too close to
be a coincidence.

MAGIC KINGDOM:

Some say there are 3 large glass spheres as you exit Ryca 1 after Space 
Mountain that make a Mickey, but it is pretty weak.  

In Splash Mountain, the Imagineers told me there were 3 hidden Mickeys, but
I was only able to find 2 (maybe).  In the middle of the ride, if you look 
at all the clouds, one of them has a peculiar resemblance to the Mouse.  
Enough to stand out from all the other clouds.  Also at the end of Splash
Mountain, in the riverboat scene, the pink clouds in the background look
suspiciously like Mickey Mouse lying down for a nap..The feet and belly 
are in focus, but his head is rather stretched.  I didn't think it was 
close enough at first, but after riding Splash Mountain 24 times in a row
(cast member testing) I began to accept it!! =-)  I even went so far as to 
say that 3 crocodile scales touching each other was a hidden Mickey...It
was getting under my skin.

DISNEY/MGM STUDIOS:

First, the main plaza is built in the shape of Mickey's head, with Echo 
lake making one ear and the planters forming his nose and mouth.  Ask any
cast member or just turn your guide map upside down.

In the Great Movie Ride, Mickey is everywhere.  This was an Imagineer's 
dream.  While I worked there I was told there is a Mickey in the Hollywood
set on the load dock, but damn if I couldn't find it for 3 months.  As the
vehicles enter Gansterland, Mickey's feet can be seen peeking out from under 
the Public Enemy poster.  As you enter the Gangster scene, and approach the
run down porch, looking over your left shoulder towards the roof you will
see Mickey's silhouette in a warehouse window.  (An interesting point about
this Mickey...It was not placed there by the Imagineers, but rather by a guy
named Carlos, who was a gangster at the Movie Ride a few summers ago.  The
fake Warehouse windows are really next to the actor's corridor, where the
Mugsy's wait to take over vehicles.  There are chairs and a water cooler up
there..it's rather cozy. (I was Mugsy in the summer '92)  When the Imagineers
found out Carlos had cut out a Mickey and put him there, they liked it so 
much they kept it!)
Further on in the Movie Ride you can find Mickey in the heiroglyphics
of the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene..(last block on the left) having lunch
with Donald Duck..  Interestingly, ALSO in the heiroglyphics, directly 
across from Indiana Jones, you can find C-3PO and R2-D2 carved in stone.
There is also a very small heiroglyphic painted with Mickey Mouse ears, but
it is not visible from the ride.
  
In Tarzan, if you look up into the trees on the right side to Tarzan's tree
house, you will see three grapes in a basket with a spotlight on them.  
Yet another hidden Mickey.  Further on you will notice that although the
plane in Casablanca is the REAL plane from the movie, where is the phone? 
Didn't the Major use that phone and get shot by Bogart?  And another thing 
(sorry this is off the subject, but the line "I was willing to shoot 
Capt. Reino, and I'm willing to shoot you, okay major you asked for it" shown
in the trailer before the ride is NOT in the movie, at least not my copy..
okay tangent over..) =-) 

Well, I have drawn blanks on any other Mickey's I have seen.  Maybe after 
checking with my Disney roommates I can fill in some missing ones.
Happy hunting!
