Front Description
This is the actual award pin. It is about 1 inch in length and is bronze colored. It is presented in a small black velvet box with the Disney Legend logo on the inside lid in gold.
The Spiral stands for Imagination ~ the power of an idea.
The Hand represents the gift of skill, discipline and craftsmanship.
The Wand is the Magic, the spark ignited when imagination and skill combine to create a new dream....
