Character Ear Hat Mystery Set 2 - It’s a Small World

This charming pin is part of the second series of the popular Character Ear Hat Mystery Set, specifically celebrating the iconic 'it's a small world' attraction. The design features the classic Mickey Mouse ear hat silhouette, with the left ear showcasing the attraction's signature sun face and the right ear displaying a vibrant, stylized floral pattern. The base of the hat captures the whimsical, geometric architecture of the ride, rendered in the distinct art style created by Mary Blair for the 1964 New York World's Fair. Released in 2013 across both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, this pin is an Open Edition release, making it a highly accessible piece for collectors who appreciate attraction-themed merchandise. The 'it's a small world' attraction remains one of Disney's most beloved global icons, famously featuring the anthem written by the Sherman Brothers. Collectors value this series for its clever ability to blend iconic park imagery with the timeless Mickey ear hat format. The clean lines and bold color palette make it a standout piece for fans of mid-century modern design and Disney park history. As an Open Edition pin, it served as a staple for pin traders, though its thematic appeal often makes it a sought-after addition for those curating specific attraction-based collections.
