Front Description
Seen frequently in recent weeks at DLR (along with a number of other ABD pins of questionable quality and origin, such as Pin # 70897), I suspect that this may currently be an unauthorized ("scrapper") pin. This pin was possibly made for a trip that has either not been offered by ABD yet or perhaps was abandoned.
The back of the pin is essentially the same as other ABD pins - gold metal, waffle-pattern except for the Adventures by Disney logo and (copyright) DISNEY, China.
The front of the pin shows Donald and Daisy Duck smiling at each other. It is hard to tell what the background is but it may be (the Andes??) mountains.
The Andes are the principal mountains of South America and one of the greatest mountain systems of the world. The Andes include some of the world’s highest peaks.
The pin measures 1 and 3/8" wide by just under 1 and 1/2" tall. Both the front and sides of the pin I acquired appear to be of fairly poor quality.

member information
This was given out to "Sacred Valleys and Incan Cities" AbD group members in Peru. We received ours on day 4, trip was Oct 2006.
The inner mouths of both Daisy and Donald are a darker color than their bills. Daisy's mouth and face is outlined in thin gold but doesn't disappear into the tan background of the Moray terraces.
The other main differences I see is that the coloring is a touch darker/vibrant (foot, red text border, almost aqua sky vs blue) but I don't know if it's the photo/computer/display.
Donald's foot is more dark orange, his foot is also cut so you can see/count three notched toes with the big toe separated from the edge that it touches. The corresponding colored inner border is also a darker orange on mine. The text is also more orange than yellow. Daisy's upraised pinky also is slightly bent at the knuckles vs straight up. There's only a sliver of the end of Donald's bent foot that shows, like the top and end bit of a toe vs the whole top of it.
The back has a waffle design and a well centered AbD logo on the lower bottom and copyright Disney China beneath that.
