Hidden Mickey 2013 WDW - Birds - Iago

This pin features Iago, the iconic and sarcastic parrot from Disney's 1992 animated classic, Aladdin. Released in 2013 as part of the Walt Disney World Hidden Mickey series, this design depicts Iago with his signature mischievous grin against a vibrant green oval background. The pin is part of the 'Birds' sub-set, which highlights various feathered friends from across the Disney universe. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed to guests through the Cast Member pin trading program at Walt Disney World Resort, making it a staple for those building their Hidden Mickey collections. The small Mickey icon located at the bottom of the pin serves as the official 'Hidden Mickey' mark, denoting its origin as a park-exclusive tradeable. Iago, voiced by the legendary Gilbert Gottfried, remains one of the most memorable sidekicks in Disney history, known for his relentless schemes and biting humor. Collectors prize these series not only for the character representation but also for the challenge of completing the specific set. Because this pin was primarily acquired through trading with Cast Members, it holds a nostalgic place for many who frequented the parks during the 2013 season. It is a quintessential piece for fans of Aladdin or those who focus on avian-themed Disney memorabilia.
