Dave Smith, director of the Walt Disney Company Archives and long-time Disney Historian, has selected the top 20 moments in Disney Theme Park History. This pin celebrates the opening of Disneyland® Park.
This Limited Edition pin features Mickey Mouse in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park. This pin is a spinner which spins from Mickey Mouse-shaped balloons during the day to fireworks at night. The "Dave Smith Medallion" is a pin-on-pin. Ryan Lorlei from Disney Design Group created the artwork for this pin. It is #2 out of 20 in the Dave Smith collection. Banner across the center reads "July 17 1955" on a yellow background. Under the castle reads "Disneyland" also on a yellow background. Under that is "Opened" on a blue background. On the lower left corner is a gold Mickey head reading "Dave Smith Collection" and Tinker Bell.
Dave says, "Disneyland®, the first theme park, opened in Anaheim, California on July 17, 1955."
