This Walt Disney World (WDW) Hidden Disney pin features Simba from Disney's beloved 1994 animated classic, *The Lion King*. The pin is part of the 2025 WDW Hidden Disney Series: Wave A, specifically belonging to the "Pin Trading 25th Anniversary" set. It depicts Simba's torso and tail, rendered with multiple shades of yellow, orange eyes, and a salmon nose, set against a vibrant blue background adorned with three stylized stars. Below Simba, a silver plaque is embossed with "25 YEARS OF PIN TRADING," commemorating a significant milestone for the Disney pin collecting community. The Hidden Mickey icon, a hallmark of this series, is subtly placed between Simba's tail and torso, signifying its origin as a Cast Member trading pin. This Open Edition (OE) pin was released on April 8, 2025, and is one of five common pins in the six-pin "Pin Trading 25th Anniversary" set. The set also includes characters like Mickey, Ariel, Dopey, and the Cheshire Cat, with Figment serving as the rare Chaser pin. Collectors value this pin for its connection to the enduringly popular character Simba and its celebration of a quarter-century of Disney Pin Trading.
This Simba pin is an Open Edition (OE) Hidden Disney pin, primarily acquired by trading with Cast Members (CMs) at Walt Disney World or through mystery pouches sold at the parks. While Open Edition pins are generally more accessible than Limited Edition (LE) pins, the "hunt" aspect of acquiring Hidden Disney pins through trading or mystery packs adds to its collectibility. As a common variant within the "Pin Trading 25th Anniversary" set, its rarity is moderate compared to the Chaser pin. Its desirability is further boosted by the enduring popularity of Simba from *The Lion King* and its significance in celebrating 25 years of Disney Pin Trading.
Disney Pin Trading officially commenced in October 1999 during the Millennium Celebration at EPCOT, revolutionizing how guests collected and interacted with pins across the parks. This Simba pin commemorates the 25th anniversary of this beloved hobby in 2025. *The Lion King*, starring Simba, premiered in 1994, establishing him as a classic and highly recognizable Disney character. The 2025 Hidden Disney Series Wave A, including this pin, was initially released on April 8, 2025, marking a new wave of collectible pins for the anniversary year.
