Dormouse - Mad Tea Party - 2012 Hidden Mickey Series

This charming pin features the sleepy Dormouse from Disney's classic 1951 animated feature film, Alice in Wonderland, nestled within the iconic Mad Tea Party attraction teacup. The design is shaped like a classic pair of Mickey Mouse ears, with the Dormouse centered in the main body wearing his signature teapot hat, flanked by a purple teacup on the left and a green teacup on the right. This piece was part of the 2012 Hidden Mickey Series, which focused on the beloved Mad Tea Party attraction found at Disneyland Resort. Hidden Mickey pins are highly sought after by collectors as they were originally released as part of the Cast Member pin trading program and could not be purchased directly at retail stores. The Dormouse is a fan-favorite sidekick, famously known for his brief but hilarious appearances during the Mad Hatter's tea party where he spends most of his time trying to sleep inside a giant teapot. This Limited Release pin captures the whimsy of the attraction, which has been a staple of Disney parks since the opening of Disneyland in 1955. Because these pins were primarily obtained through trading with Cast Members, finding them in pristine condition has become increasingly difficult for modern collectors. The vibrant colors and iconic silhouette make it a standout addition for fans of Alice in Wonderland or attraction-themed collections.
