PP69374    DLR - Walt Disney, Brer Rabbit - Annual Passholder

Created especially for Annual Passholders, this limited edition pin-on-pin features Brer Rabbit kicking back and relaxing on top of a briar patch vine. He is located on the lower left corner of this vine, which is actually the border of a picture frame that holds a color photo of Walt Disney wearing a cowboy hat, white long sleeve shirt, and red tie. The upper left corner of the picture frame has a sign that looks like a brown wooden plank and says "2009" in black numbers. The lower right corner across from Brer Rabbit's feet is another sign board which has the Disneyland Resort logo in brown letters backed in black and below it is says ANNUAL PASSHOLDER in black letters. The briar vine is brown with a few green leaves on it on either side of the top of the frame, and everything on the frame is outlined in gold.

The pin is mounted on 4X6 Postcard in a glassene envelope. The front of the card is a black and wite picture of Walt walking through the front gate of Sleeping Beauty's castle. Below right is the Disneyland Resort logo in red. Above left it says "Annual Passholder 2009" in red script. and right below it it also says "Heritage Collection" in light blue gothic letters. The pin is mounted through the card in the lower left corner and just below the pin in light blue letters it says: "Limited Release."

Although the Official Disney Pin Trading Web Site says that this is an LE3000 edition, no where on the pin or card does it have an edition size number. The Web Site also says that this is a $12.95 pin, but it has a blue tag on it, which means it sells for $10.95.

This pin is a part of the "Heritage Collection," 2009 series. It commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Splash Mountain attraction at Disneyland Park on July 17, 2009. This attraction was based on the 1946 Disney film "Song of the South" wherein Brer Rabbit goes on his adventerous journey to look for his laughing place, while being pursued by Brer Fox and Brer Bear. The story and the attraction culminates in a high-speed 52 foot flume drop at a 45 degree angle, which was the longest flume water chute in the world at it's opening in 1989.
