New Hidden Mickey Pins

---

This second “Wave” of 2011 Hidden Mickey Pins will be arriving in July. Here is a brief look at what you may find during the remainder of the year.

Why Courtney McBride chose to feature the United Kingdom?

“I love the United Kingdom,” exclaimed Courtney. “I’m a fan of British pop culture. When I visited the UK on holiday, I realized that many British icons represented in movies, television shows and artwork are part of the landscape. I think my favorite pin is the Rose and Crown Pub logo as it is one of my favorite places at Walt Disney World.”

A set of pins coming to the Disneyland Resort features the one and only Mickey Mouse. Mickey’s pose was taken from a Mickey Mouse Club card from the 1930s. His name is written in Italian, Norwegian, German, Swedish and English.

Princesses in flowers: The set will be released in Florida.
