Front Description
The Golden Anniversary Edition of the Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour pin. A gold metal pin (with no color) of the picture of Walt walking through Sleeping Beauty Castle. Across the bottom reads "A Walk in Walt's Footsteps".
As of February 2008, this pin is still being given out for taking the tour. Backstamp is the same (2005). A member reports that they took the tour in May 2010, and the backstamp on the pin was simply "©DISNEY, China".
Early notes about bootleg pins:
1) On the back of the bootleg pin, the "W" in the name Walt is not capitalized. It is a small "w", even with all the rest of the lowercase letters. It looks like this on the bootleg version: "A Walk In walt's Footsteps". The real pin looks like this: "A Walk In Walt's Footsteps".
2) The back finish is different. On the bootleg pin, the lines on the back of the pin go from side to side and up and down and make boxes (waffle pattern). On the real pin, the lines go in a slant across the pin and it has small dots (raised-dots pattern).
3) The bootleg pin is a lighter color gold on the back.
4) The bootleg version has square windows on the castle (in the towers and turrets), where the real pin has rounded window tops.
