Turkey Wearing Mickey Ears

This festive Open Edition pin features Mickey Mouse dressed in a turkey costume to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Released on October 16, 2008, at Walt Disney World, the design cleverly merges the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette with seasonal turkey features, including a red wattle, yellow beak, and bright yellow feet. The body of the pin is textured to resemble feathers, while the classic Mickey ear shape remains clearly visible at the top. This pin was part of a seasonal Thanksgiving series that captured the holiday spirit for park guests visiting Walt Disney World during the autumn season. Mickey Mouse, who made his debut in the 1928 short Steamboat Willie, is frequently reimagined in various costumes for seasonal pins, making this a fun piece for holiday-themed collections. As an Open Edition release, it was designed to be accessible to guests, though it has become a nostalgic item for those who collected during the 2008 timeframe. The pin's whimsical design and recognizable character make it a charming addition to any collection focusing on Thanksgiving or holiday-themed Disney memorabilia. It remains a popular choice for traders looking for seasonal flair in their pin displays.
