Cinderella Castle Logo - The Year to Be Here

This festive Open Edition pin celebrates Walt Disney World during the 2018 calendar year, featuring the iconic Cinderella Castle as its central focal point. The design incorporates a sophisticated color palette of soft greens and blues, accented by vibrant blue glitter details within the '2018' typography. Surrounding the castle are four distinct circular icons representing the four major parks of Walt Disney World: the Tree of Life for Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Spaceship Earth geodesic sphere for Epcot, a stylized boat representing the classic It's a Small World attraction at Magic Kingdom, and another icon representing a park landmark. The text 'The Year to Be Here' is prominently displayed at the bottom, capturing the marketing slogan used by Walt Disney World throughout that period. As a Pin on Pin style design, the '2018' element is layered over the castle background, creating a nice sense of depth. This pin was released on November 7, 2017, to prepare guests for the upcoming 2018 season. It serves as a classic souvenir for visitors who traveled to the resort during that specific year. The pin is presented on a thematic backing card featuring Mickey Mouse, which is a common and appreciated detail for collectors who prefer to keep their pins in original packaging. Its status as an Open Edition release makes it an accessible piece for collectors of dated pins.
