This highly collectible hinged pin from the 2021 "The Windows of Main Street U.S.A. Area" series pays tribute to legendary Disney Imagineer Roland Fargo "Rolly" Crump and the iconic Madame Leota from The Haunted Mansion attraction. The pin's exterior depicts a detailed representation of the "Fargo's Palm Parlor" window, which honors Crump with inscriptions such as "Predictions That Will Haunt You – Bazaar, Whimsical & Weird – “Designs to Die For” - Roland F. Crump – Assistant to the Palm Reader.". When opened, the pin reveals Madame Leota, the ghostly fortune teller whose head appears in a glowing crystal ball, seated at a table surrounded by tarot cards and flickering candles. Rolly Crump, who joined Walt Disney Studios in 1952 and later WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) in 1959, was instrumental in developing concepts for The Haunted Mansion, including his unique "Museum of the Weird" ideas that influenced the attraction's final design. Madame Leota's face was famously portrayed by Imagineer Leota Toombs, while Eleanor Audley provided her haunting voice for the beloved attraction, which first opened at Disneyland in 1969. Released as a Limited Edition (LE) of 3000 at Walt Disney World (WDW), this pin is highly sought after by collectors due to its detailed design, special hinged feature, glow-in-the-dark element, and its dual tribute to a key Imagineer and a classic Disney Parks character from a fan-favorite attraction.
This pin is a Limited Edition (LE) of 3000, making it a moderately rare and desirable item for collectors. Its appeal is significantly boosted by its hinged design, which opens to reveal a detailed interior scene, and the glow-in-the-dark feature of Madame Leota's crystal ball. The combination of a beloved, iconic character from The Haunted Mansion and a direct tribute to Disney Legend Rolly Crump, an Imagineer crucial to the attraction's development, makes this pin particularly valuable. The "Windows of Main Street U.S.A. Area" series itself is popular, honoring key figures in Disney history.
Roland Fargo "Rolly" Crump was a pivotal Disney Imagineer who began his career in animation in 1952 before transitioning to WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) in 1959. He played a significant role in the creation of many classic attractions, including "it's a small world," Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, and particularly The Haunted Mansion, where his experimental "Museum of the Weird" concepts profoundly influenced the ride's development. Madame Leota is a central figure in The Haunted Mansion, which first opened at Disneyland on August 9, 1969. The tradition of dedicating second-story windows on Main Street U.S.A. in Disney parks is a long-standing honor for individuals who made lasting contributions to the Walt Disney Company.
