Front Description
This pin is directly modeled after the Disney Legends Award Statue. Sorcerer Mickey's hand hold a wand topped with a star behind a castle. This pin was one of nine different pins of the same design created and presented as future award pins to those that are honored with the Disney Legends Award. The Spiral stands for imagination, the power of an idea. The hand holds up the gifts of skill, discipline, and craftsmanship. The wand and the star represent magic, the spark that is ignited when imagination and skill combine to create a new dream.
