PP45619    DL - Zeke and Tennessee - Mile Long Bar - Five Decades of Dining - Annual Passholder

This dining pin was limited to Annual Passholders who made single food purchases of $30 or more (before tax and after discounts) at selected restaurants throughout DLR. This is pin number 6 in the "Five Decades of Disney Dining" series available to Annual Passholders. The copy on the inside of the box reads:

This quaint refreshment location came out of hi-bear-nation and debuted to guests visiting Bear Country in 1972. An ingenious use of mirrors made the bar seem to stretch as far as a country mile, resulting in the bar's whimsical name.

Walt Disney World was actually the first Disney Theme Park to feature the Mile Long Bar located in Frontierland of the Magic Kingdom.

In 1989, Splash Mountain made it's "splashy" debut and soon guests were journeying through the world of Brer Bear, Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit in hopes of finding the secret "Laughing Place." To go along with the new attraction, the Mile Long Bar was renamed the "Brer Bar". Guests who were drenched on Splash Mountain could stroll across the way to Brer Bar and becomes quenched with light fare and cool drinks.

Pin image shows Country Bears Zeke and Tennessee holding a huge hotdog in front of a window with green curtains/drapes and metallic blue sky. The "MILE LONG BAR" sign is on the bottom.

Pin size is 1 5/8 inches by 1 3/4 inches.

There is a fake of this pin that is much smaller. Identical in design but marked Hong Kong Disneyland on the back (HKDL doesn't have Country Bears). The pin back is marked 2006 Pin trading and is silver metal, has only one post, and the outside of the window is a darker blue-green; the real one looks like it has a bit of a sparkle to it as well.
