Mickey Mouse at Walt's Barn Train

This highly collectible Limited Edition (LE 2000) pin, "Mickey Mouse at Walt's Barn Train," celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Disney Pin Trading, which officially began during the Millennium Celebration at EPCOT in 2000. Released on August 19, 2025, at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW), this pin is part of the esteemed Disney Artist Collection and was designed by Senior Character Artist Alex Maher. The pin beautifully depicts Mickey Mouse, the iconic character co-created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928, who made his public debut in the groundbreaking synchronized sound cartoon *Steamboat Willie* on November 18, 1928. Here, Mickey is shown joyfully riding a train, with Walt Disney's historic barn in the background. Walt's Barn, originally located in his Holmby Hills backyard, was his personal workshop for the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, a 1/8th scale live-steam railroad he built in 1950. Often referred to as the "Birthplace of Imagineering," it was here that Walt's passion for trains helped inspire the concept of Disneyland. The barn, designed after one from Walt's childhood in Marceline, Missouri, now serves as a museum in Griffith Park. This pin's connection to Walt's personal history and the significant milestone of Disney Pin Trading makes it particularly desirable for collectors.
