King Arthur Carrousel Shield

This Open Edition pin features a stylized heraldic shield representing the King Arthur Carrousel at Disneyland Resort. The design showcases a noble lion in profile, rendered in muted green tones against a soft purple field, topped with a golden crest. This piece was released as part of the 2012 Fantasyland Icons Hidden Mickey series, specifically in Wave A, Set 4. Hidden Mickey pins were designed to be distributed by Cast Members to guests through pin trading, making them a staple for collectors focused on park-specific iconography. The King Arthur Carrousel, an opening-day attraction at Disneyland in 1955, serves as the inspiration for this crest, reflecting the medieval fantasy aesthetic of the park's central land. A small, subtle Mickey icon is stamped on the shield, confirming its status as an authentic Hidden Mickey release. Collectors value this pin for its clean, classic heraldic design and its connection to one of the most iconic attractions in Disney history. Because it is an Open Edition pin, it remains a highly accessible piece for those building themed collections around park attractions. The shield design is a sophisticated take on the traditional carousel horses and regalia found throughout the ride. Its presence on the original Disney Pins backing card further enhances its appeal for collectors who appreciate complete presentation.
