Lanyard Series 4 - Parking Signs Sleepy

This collectible pin is part of the Lanyard Series 4 - Parking Signs collection, released at Walt Disney World in 2005. The design features Sleepy, one of the Seven Dwarfs from the classic 1937 film 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', depicted in his iconic yawning pose. The pin is styled like a circular parking lot sign, set against a red background with a green center circle. It includes the text 'SLEEPY' at the top and the numbers '73-76' at the bottom, referencing the specific parking lot section identifier at Walt Disney World. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as part of a Cast Member lanyard trading program, making it a staple for early 2000s pin traders. The inclusion of the classic hidden Mickey icon on the right side of the pin confirms its status as a genuine park-released item. Sleepy remains a highly popular character among collectors due to his relatable and comical personality. This series is particularly nostalgic for long-time Disney fans who remember trading these specific signs off of Cast Member lanyards throughout the parks. Its simple, graphic design makes it a quintessential piece for those building a complete Seven Dwarfs or parking sign-themed collection.
