Hidden Mickey 2017 WDW - Attractions - Expedition Everest

This pin is part of the 2017 Hidden Mickey series released at Walt Disney World, specifically featured in the Attractions sub-set. It depicts the iconic face of the Yeti, the formidable antagonist from the Expedition Everest attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The pin features a square design with a dark blue background, showcasing the blue-toned, snarling Yeti head in a stylized, graphic art style. A small Mickey icon, the hallmark of the Hidden Mickey series, is visible in the bottom left corner, confirming its authenticity as a park-exclusive release. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed through cast member pin trading boards and lanyards throughout the resort, making it a classic "trader" piece. Expedition Everest opened in 2006, and the Yeti remains one of the most famous and technically complex animatronics in Disney history. Collectors value these Hidden Mickey pins because they represent specific eras of park history and offer a fun, challenging scavenger hunt experience for guests. The bold, minimalist design of this Yeti pin makes it a popular choice for fans of thrill rides and Disney villains or creatures. It serves as a great memento for those who have braved the Forbidden Mountain.
