Front Description
Throughout 2006, Disney released twelve pins on specially designed backer cards that read “Hidden Disney”. The monthly pins were a Limited Edition of 2500 and sold for $10.95/each. These pins have nothing to do with the cast-lanyard pins, known as Hidden Disneys, released since 2020. There is no silver icon on the front, and the numbering on the back refers to this special collection of twelve pins.
(Disney Website Data Sheet) Since October 1, 1971, the Disney Vacation Kingdom has thrilled Guests of all ages by offering magical experiences unmatched throughout the world. With so much to see and do, the Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Pin Team was inspired to create a new Limited Edition pin collection entitled Hidden Disney. This collection celebrates the unique experiences, locations and “Hidden Mickeys” found at the Walt Disney World Resort. “This pin collection celebrates those special places, attractions and experiences that Guests, including myself, have grown to love,” said John Smith, Product Developer for Disney Pin Trading. A new pin will be released on the 8th day of each month through 2006. The pins will have an edition size of 2500 each and will be packaged on specially designed backer cards featuring trivia about that particular “Hidden” selection.
This eleventh pin in the collection (released in November) features Kermit the frog playing his banjo. The silver Muppets Fountain features Miss Piggy as the Statue of Liberty and Gonzo as a film director. Waldo, from Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D attraction, is flying near Gonzo's megaphone. Kermit and the wall he's sitting on are a pin-on-pin element. The Great Gonzo is on a spring movement. "Kermit the frog plays his banjo in front of The Muppet Fountain located at Disney-MGM Studios in front of the Muppet 3D Attraction. Look carefully at the raft keeping Gonzo afloat and you just might find a Hidden Mickey."
