Hidden Mickey 2013 WDW - Parking Signs - Hook

This Open Edition pin is part of the 2013 Walt Disney World Hidden Mickey series, specifically from the 'Parking Signs' sub-set. The design features Captain Hook from the classic 1953 film 'Peter Pan,' set against a circular background with a red top banner reading 'HOOK' and a purple lower section displaying the years '77-93.' The pin is designed to mimic the appearance of a nostalgic Disney parking lot sign, a clever nod to the history of the theme park's infrastructure.
