Hidden Mickey 2018 WDW - Surfboards - Cheshire Cat

This pin is part of the 2018 Hidden Mickey series released at Walt Disney World, specifically featuring the Surfboards collection. The pin depicts a longboard-style surfboard decorated in a vibrant pink and light pink checkerboard pattern, capturing the whimsical aesthetic of the Cheshire Cat from the 1951 animated classic, Alice in Wonderland. A small, black Hidden Mickey icon is prominently featured on the board, serving as the signature hallmark of the Hidden Mickey pin series. At the bottom of the board, the pin showcases the Cheshire Cat’s iconic striped tail and mischievous grin, instantly recognizable to fans of the character. As an Open Edition pin, this piece was primarily available through Cast Member pin trading at Walt Disney World resorts and parks, making it a fun find for collectors visiting the parks. These Hidden Mickey pins are highly sought after because they are not sold in retail stores, requiring collectors to trade with Cast Members or hunt for them in mystery pouches. The surfboard design is a popular theme among Disney collectors who enjoy collecting sets that feature various characters on a unified object. The bright color palette and distinct character representation make this a standout piece for fans of Alice in Wonderland. Its status as an Open Edition pin keeps it accessible, yet the specific character design ensures it remains a favorite among traders.
