PP172504    DLR - Disney 75 Years - Part of the Magic - October 16, 1998 - Cast

Company D pin distributed to cast member to commemorate "Disney - 75 Years - Part of the Magic - October 16, 1998".

This is a cast member pin, but it was widely distributed. Store & Park cast members received them, I'm unsure if the rest of the company did as well. The last two photos show the pin as it was given to the cast members.

This was also distributed at the Studio. October 16, 1923, was the date Walt signed the contract to produce the Alice Comedies cartoons, and is officially the start date of the Walt Disney Company, then known as "The Disney Brothers Studio."

This same design was also distributed to Cast Members in a button format (purple).
