Hidden Mickey 2017 WDW - Paws - Simba

This charming Open Edition pin features Simba, the beloved protagonist from Disney's 1994 animated classic, The Lion King. The pin is part of the 2017 Hidden Mickey series released at Walt Disney World, specifically within the Paws sub-set. The design creatively frames Simba's face within the shape of a lion's paw print, with bright yellow padding and a small silver Hidden Mickey icon stamped on the left toe. As an Open Edition pin, this piece was primarily available through the Cast Member pin trading program at Walt Disney World Resort parks and hotels, where guests could trade for it using their own pins. Simba, who famously grows from a playful cub to the King of the Pride Lands, remains one of the most iconic characters in Disney history. The Paws series is particularly popular among collectors who enjoy animal-themed designs and the challenge of completing the Hidden Mickey sets. The vibrant colors and clean, simple aesthetic make it a standout for fans of the movie or those who collect lion-themed pins. Because it was part of the 2017 wave, it serves as a nostalgic memento of that specific year of park releases. Whether you are a completionist of the Hidden Mickey sets or simply a fan of Simba, this pin is a wonderful addition to any collection.
