Hidden Mickey 2013 WDW - Patriotic Shields - Chip

This Open Edition pin features Chip from the beloved Chip 'n' Dale duo, presented on a patriotic shield design as part of the 2013 Walt Disney World Hidden Mickey series. The pin displays Chip centered against a background of red and white stripes and a blue header adorned with two white stars. A small, subtle Mickey icon is located on the right side of the shield, serving as the signature mark of the Hidden Mickey collection. Originally released in July 2013, this pin was part of the Patriotic Shields sub-set, which was distributed to Cast Members at Walt Disney World to be traded with park guests. Chip first debuted alongside his partner Dale in the 1943 short 'Private Pluto,' and the pair has since become iconic sidekicks in Disney animation. Because this pin was an Open Edition release obtained through park trading, it holds significant nostalgic value for collectors who frequented the parks during that era. The shield-shaped design offers a classic, Americana aesthetic that remains popular among fans of vintage-style Disney character pins. Collectors value these Hidden Mickey pins for their accessibility and the fun of completing the specific character sets found throughout the resort.
