Hidden Mickey 2013 DLR - Birds - Jose

This charming pin features Jose, one of the iconic macaws from the beloved Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room attraction, first opened at Disneyland Resort in 1963. Released in 2013 as part of the Hidden Mickey 2013 Disneyland Resort series, this piece is part of the specific 'Birds' subset. The design showcases Jose in his classic straw hat and bowtie, set against a warm orange oval background, with a small Hidden Mickey icon visible in the bottom right corner. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed through the Cast Member pin trading program at Disneyland Resort, making it a staple for those who enjoy the hunt for Hidden Mickey pins. The Hidden Mickey series is highly popular among collectors because these pins were not sold on retail cards, but rather obtained through trading with Cast Members or in mystery pouches. This pin celebrates the musical history of Disney parks, as Jose is widely recognized as the energetic leader of the feathered quartet in the Tiki Room. The vibrant colors and classic character pose make it a standout for fans of classic park attractions. Its status as an Open Edition release makes it more accessible to newer collectors while remaining a nostalgic treasure for seasoned veterans of the hobby. The overall design captures the whimsical personality of Jose perfectly, highlighting his role as a quintessential Disney park character.
