Dale for Jungle Cruise - Disneyland Opening Day Attraction Posters

This highly collectible pin, titled "Dale for Jungle Cruise - Disneyland Opening Day Attraction Posters," is a captivating tribute to one of Disneyland Resort's most beloved original attractions. Released on July 8, 2025, as a Limited Edition (LE) of 4000, it celebrates the Disneyland 70th Anniversary, marking seven decades since the park's grand opening. The pin features Dale, identifiable by his distinctive red nose, playfully peeking out from the foreground of the iconic Jungle Cruise. Behind him, a classic Jungle Cruise boat with its red and white striped canopy navigates shimmering blue water, accented with glitter, where a hippopotamus emerges with its mouth wide open, a familiar sight from the attraction. The top banner proudly displays "Disneyland Resort," while the bottom banner reads "19 Jungle Cruise 55," signifying the attraction's opening year of 1955. Dale, a mischievous chipmunk who first appeared in the 1943 cartoon "Private Pluto," is known for his laid-back and goofy personality, often paired with his more level-headed brother, Chip. The Jungle Cruise itself debuted on Disneyland's opening day, July 17, 1955, originally conceived with a more educational tone before Walt Disney and Imagineer Marc Davis infused it with the comedic gags and puns that define the ride today. This pin is part of the "Disneyland Opening Day Attraction Posters" series, which falls under the broader "Disneyland Vault Collection Opening Day Attraction Pins" collection, a series of 14 pins released in three waves throughout 2025 to honor Disneyland's historic attractions. Its limited edition size and celebration of both an iconic character and a foundational Disneyland attraction make it a highly desirable piece for collectors.
