2007 Hidden Mickey - Florida License Plates - I heart Walt

This charming pin is part of the 2007 Hidden Mickey - Florida License Plates series, which was released at Walt Disney World in 2006. The design mimics a Florida vanity license plate, featuring the phrase 'I heart Walt' with a stylized green Mickey Mouse icon serving as the heart symbol. The pin includes the text 'Florida' at the top and 'Walt Disney World' at the bottom, capturing the spirit of classic Florida souvenir culture. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as a Cast Member Gift With Purchase, making it a staple of the secondary trading market. The Hidden Mickey series is highly popular among collectors because it encourages park-wide engagement through trading with Cast Members. This specific design pays homage to Walt Disney, the visionary founder whose legacy remains the heart of the Walt Disney World resort. Collectors appreciate this piece for its clever 'license plate' aesthetic and its subtle inclusion of the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette. Because it was an Open Edition release, it is a fantastic entry-level piece for those beginning their journey into Hidden Mickey collecting. Its compact size and classic design make it a versatile addition to any collection focused on park-themed memorabilia.
