The Eeyore section of the parking lot.

The entrance queue was built onstage over a U-turn in the Jungle Cruise. The rest is all formerly-backstage.

Thus the hidden Eeyore sign.

It's allegedly above the queue in the film room, hidden somewhere in the rafters.

The monorail used to travel right over the area of the parking lot that currently houses Indy. The track had to be diverted when construction began.

It's up there all right. Go to http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/Disneyland/OtherHiddenCharacters.html#S_Indy and there are a number of spottings reported. I've never seen it because I never remember to bring a flashlight.

you do[nt need a flashlight to see it, it took me several years to find it believe it or not, but the small room the is after the film room, with Indy's office, turn around and look past the projector in the film room and you can see the eyeor, hes white and you can barely make him out

It's tough to see him without a flashlight, but we've done it. It's all about being light enough inside. I recommend going to look for Eeyore after it's fully dark outside - your eyes will think it's bright in there.

Go to the end of the film room. If there's no line through all the switchbacks, hop into the empty switchbacks and stand as far from the projector as you can. Then turn towards the projector. There's a whole platform up there. It's a ways behind the projector. Eeyore is white against a dark blue background. It's all about staring at it long enough until you recognize what you're seeing.

Of course, the best way is to carry a flashlight, but it CAN be done without one.

We were stuck in the queue on an especially busy day (I don't know why) and I stared up there for the longest time...when I realized that I saw him, I grabbed GD's shirt and said "Oh my God!" Scared the hell out of him. :D

This is the part that ALWAYS gets me-why the bleep do they bother putting these easter eggs in when you have to stand on one leg, go upside down, squint your eyes, carry a telescope, blur your vision and can only see them on rainy Tuesdays in May that also happen to be in a leap year?!?

It's not like ANYBODY would EVER happen to just catch that unintenionally.

Make these bleepin things a LITTLE more pronounced for Peter Jackson's sake!!!!!!!!

Point one - you can't take a parking lot Eeyore sign and stick it in the middle of the Indy queue for all to see. It would not fit in with the decor. The same is true for hidden mickeys - if you were in the middle of a ride and there was a two foot square mickey head on the wall, wouldn't that strike you as out of place?

Point two - The entire point of these hidden things is that they are hard to find and only those in the know would care to look for them. The original hidden mickeys were like an inside joke within the company. Something only Walt's own would know and share with each other. Sometimes they are there as a tribute to people or things (hidden initials, dates, a parking lot sign from a parking lot now gone) or just a running gag, like the hidden mickeys.

Yeah-I understand that.

My point was that this thing, from the sounds of it is damned near IMPOSSIBLE to see.

See, it really isn't FOR us, per se. Well, it is now, in a way, but it wasn't originally. Kinda like that one tree planted over by the castle that keeps dying and keeps getting replanted by the imagineers. It's for them. But we care too, so when we find out about these things, we want to be in on it.
