PP7531    DLR - Disneyana Public Day - Variation 2001

Offered first as a pre-order for pre-registered 2001 Disneyana Convention "Conventionears", this 2001 Disneyana Convention Public Day pin was available for purchase at a limit of two pins per person.

Then, it was again available for only 1 day - Public Day, Saturday, Sept 8th, 2001 - at the 2001 Disneyana Convention held at the Disneyland Resorts (Disneyland Hotel) in Anaheim, CA.

It features a dapper Mickey running off to the Disneyland Family Reunion in front of a blue two-story house. The house number is 1 2 4 9, the Disney address when they lived in Kansas City. From an upper floor window, a silhouette of Walt tells Mickey (in a cartoon balloon), "Have a great time Mickey!" ( variation - see below)

The pin measures just around 1.5" in size. 

From the 2001 Disneyana Convention logo merchandise pre-order brochure: "Mickey is off to join his family and friends at the Disneyana Family Reunion Public Day. Don't miss this collectible Public Day cloisonné pin."

NOTES: this is rumored to be the last Public Day pin ever made, due to Disney's announcement there will be no Public Day in 2002 for the "Disneyana Mystery" mini-convention held at Walt Disney World.

There are two different versions of this pin. The design is the same but the wording is different. Please check your pin carefully before cataloguing.
