Hidden Mickey 2013 WDW - Costumes - The Seas

This pin is part of the 2013 Hidden Mickey Costumes series released at Walt Disney World. It features a stylized Mickey Mouse icon shape designed to resemble the uniform of a Cast Member at The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion at Epcot. The pin showcases the characteristic white shirt with a navy blue trim, a dark belt, and blue trousers, representing the iconic look of the pavilion's staff. The ears of the Mickey icon are split with red and teal accents, and a small, silver Mickey head icon is located in the upper right ear, which identifies this as a Hidden Mickey pin. Hidden Mickey pins are Open Edition pins that were originally distributed via Cast Member pin trading boards and lanyards at Disney parks, making them highly sought after by collectors who enjoy the thrill of the hunt. Because these pins were not sold directly in retail stores, they are distinct from standard Open Edition releases found on racks. This specific design celebrates the immersive atmosphere of The Seas, an attraction that has evolved from the original The Living Seas pavilion which opened in 1986. The costume aesthetic captured here is a favorite among park enthusiasts who enjoy collecting attire-based pins. As an Open Edition pin from 2013, it serves as a nostalgic piece for those who frequented the Walt Disney World parks during that era.
