PP18816    WDW - Mickey - Grand Opening of Disney's Pin Traders - Cast Member Gift

This has the same look as Pin 13969. However instead of the date and words Grand Opening, it has "Opening Cast Member". I was informed this pin was given to all Cast Members who worked at Downtown Disney in Florida.

[2009 comment: Released: Sept. 4, 2002. The pin came attached to a light blue card which read: Sept. 4, 2002. To the DOWNTOWN DISNEY Team, The last few months here at DOWNTOWN DISNEY have been action packed. The openings of Disney's Pin Traders and Once Upon A Toy were huge successes. Although the opening atmosphere here has been both exciting and energizing it took commitment from all of us as a team to make it a seamless and magical guest experience. To celebrate and commemorate the one Month opening of Disney's Pin Traders, the enclosed pin is for you. Thank you for supporting the opening of this location with your dedication to DOWNTOWN DISNEY. Sincerely, Mary Burns General Manager, Merchandise Operations DOWNTOWN DISNEY.]
