Dumbo the Flying Elephant Wait Time Sign - HKDL Wait Time Signs

This highly sought-after pin depicts the iconic "Dumbo the Flying Elephant" attraction's wait time sign from Hong Kong Disneyland (HKDL), featuring the beloved flying elephant Dumbo at the top. Dumbo, the star of Walt Disney's 1941 animated musical comedy-drama film, is known for his oversized ears that allow him to fly. The original Dumbo the Flying Elephant attraction first opened at Disneyland in California on August 16, 1955, and a version of the ride has been an opening-day attraction at most other Disney parks, including Hong Kong Disneyland on September 12, 2005. This particular pin, released on August 11, 2009, is part of the Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) "HKDL Wait Time Signs" series, which consisted of six pins. As a Limited Release (LR) pin with an edition size of only 300, it was an exclusive offering from Walt Disney Imagineering, making it particularly desirable to collectors. The pin prominently displays "DUMBO THE FLYING ELEPHANT WAIT TIME" with a slider element showing "10 MINUTES," framed by festive red and white barber pole-like borders. WDI pins are known for their exclusivity to Imagineers and special events, contributing significantly to their rarity and high collectibility.
