Hi all...Hope you have had a great weekend! There is not much pin action going on at WDW this week, but I have a couple of pins that really like to show you.

So lets get on with the show!

Pin Pick #1.

PRESIDENT'S DAY 2005

President's Day 2005

This Limited Edition pin with dangle features Mickey Mouse and Goofy as former Presidents and celebrates President's Day 2005. The dangle reads "Presidents Day 2005 Walt Disney World®".

Released: 02/21/05
Edition Size: 3000
SKU: 10903731
Retail Price: $10.95

I really like this pin mostly cause of the dangle feature. You don't see this feature come out often anymore because they had a problem with people complaining that the part that dangled broke off too easily. hopefully they have fixed this problem and we will see more pins like this in the future!

Pin Pick #2.

FEATURED ARTIST COLLECTION 2005 - DAWN OCKSTADT - MUPPET LABS FINEST

Featured Artist Collection 2005 - Dawn Ockstadt - MUPPET LABS Finest

This Limited Edition Jumbo-sized pin-on-pin is part of the 2005 Featured Artist collection. Beaker's head slides up and down. Dawn Ockstadt from Disney Design Group calls this pin MUPPET LABS Finest.

This pin measures approximately 3" x 3" and includes the "Feature Artist" logo and Artist's signature back stamped. The pin is packaged in a beautiful display box and includes the Artist's bio and photograph.

This pin will be released at the Art of Disney locations and Disney's Pin Traders at the Downtown Disney® Marketplace.

Dawn Ockstadt's bio reads: "In 1994, my Husband and I left the cold winters of Michigan for a sunny future at Walt Disney World®. While my original dream was to work within Feature Animation, fate led me next door, literally, to the amazingly creative Disney Design Group as an Associate Production Artist.

Released: 02/23/05
Edition Size: 750
SKU: 10915140
Retail Price: $25.00

I really, really like this pin because of the different features that it has. This is a pin-on-pin-on-pin, with beakers head that goes up and down. This pin is pretty high priced, but it is worth it because of the LE sixe and detail that is included into the artwork.

Thats it for this week. Hope everyone has a great week ahead of time! Have fun with your pins, and I'll see you at Disney World!!!

Note: You ARE allowed to reply on this thread and express your opinion on my pin picks of the week.

Hi all! Hope you had a wonderful week and weekend! I went to a pin from last week in this update just so you know. It was another one of the card series ones that are a surprise pin.

Okay...Lets get to it!

Pin Pick #1

SURPRISE PIN - MINNIE MOUSE PLAYING CARD

Pin Pick #2

BOWLING MICKEY

Bowling Mickey

I really like this pin because I love to bowl. I also like it because it is an open edition pin. My only problem is the cost. This is just a regular character pin that should be 6.50, but it is not. Could this be a forcast of what is to come??? You decide.

Yes, you might have noticed that all park pins, DLR and WDW, have went up in price an additional 45 cents! The pin list prices are now $8.95, $10.95 or $12.95.
Another nail in the coffin for pin collectors!

**Kellie19891992** · 03-08-2005, 03:52 PM

Don't they think that kids like to collect pins also and can't afford higher prices

**BigDaddyKyle** · 03-11-2005, 10:50 AM

All disney thinks about nowadays is dollars and cents. I wish they would go back to the days of cheap admission prices so that a normal, working class family can go to a Disney theme park, buy some souviniers (spl.), ride some rides, and stay in one of their results, and not feel like they had to break the bank to go.

**BigDaddyKyle** · 03-13-2005, 03:22 PM

Hi all! Hope you had a wonderful week. Mine has kinda stunk because I had my wisdom teeth cut out on Weds., but I feel pretty good now and I just ate a full meal for the first time today. Anyways, enough about me. I really enjoyed checking out the pin section of disney.com today because there are a LOT of awesome pins coming out at WDW this week. I bumped my pin picks up to 4 today because I just couldn't narrow it down anymore. Have fun with this!

Pin Pick #1-

PIECE OF DISNEY HISTORY - MUPPET*VISION 3-D

Piece of Disney History - Muppet*Vision 3-D

The pin contains an actual piece of the frames from the 3-D glasses used at the Muppet*Vision 3-D attraction. This attraction opened on May 16, 1991, and is located in The Backlot at Disney-MGM Studios.

This is the third pin in this Piece of Disney History collection. The pin was designed by Disney Design Group Artist Mark Seppala.

I really like this pin mostly because it is part of the attractions series, and I REALLY like this set. What I don't like about this pin is that they chose the 3d glasses as the piece. I thought they could have picked something better and harder to aquire than that. Looks they could have did a piece of the penguins or something.
