Front Description
The excitement of the Piece of Disney History collection comes to Disneyland® Resort in 2009. This pin-of-the-month collection will feature pieces of actual Disneyland® Attractions.
Each one of this Limited Edition pin contains an actual piece from a flag that flew from one of the turrets on Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland® Park.
The pin has a stylized drawing of the castle in pink, gold and blue against a cloud on a light blue sky in a circle rimmed with a blue band. the bottom of the pin has a 3D element with Princess Aurora waist up leaning on her elbows with her hands under her chin in a glamour pose. Her gown is pink and her long blond hair flows down her back. She is on the left side of the castle in this 3D element. Her elbows are resting on a blue scrolled banner that covers the bottom of the pin. On the banner are the words: "Sleeping Beauty Castle Disneyland(c) Resort" in white letters. On the top right corner of this 3D element is a sphere, with a light blue background rimmed in dark blue, which contains the flag fragment. This flag piece is from a castle flag and not a U.S. flag, and therefore can be various colors from the flag design.
This series of pins come on a special on a Piece of Disney History Limited Edition Collection card. This particular pin card is purple and on the card under the pin mount it says FLAGS FROM SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE Disneyland Resort.
