Friendship I Boat (Pink & Blue)

This pin features the iconic Friendship Boat, a beloved mode of transportation found at the Walt Disney World Resort. Released in 2013, this piece is part of the 2013 Hidden Mickey - Friendship Boats series. The design captures the charming aesthetic of the watercraft that shuttle guests between Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and the surrounding Epcot-area resorts. The pin showcases a pastel color palette of pink and blue, finished with a classic Mickey icon detail on the bow. As an Open Edition release, it was originally distributed as a Gift With Purchase through the Hidden Mickey pin trading program at Walt Disney World. These pins were highly sought after by collectors who frequent the parks, as they were only available by trading with Cast Members. The Friendship Boat serves as a nostalgic symbol for many Disney vacationers who associate these vessels with the relaxing travel between park gates and resort docks. This pin is a perfect representation of the functional, park-specific transportation collectibles that define the Disney trading culture.
