Hidden Mickey 2017 WDW - Fruits - Watermelon

This charming pin features a slice of watermelon with seven black Mickey Mouse icons acting as the 'seeds' of the fruit. Part of the 2017 Hidden Mickey collection at Walt Disney World, this pin belongs to the popular Fruits sub-set, which creatively incorporates the iconic Mickey silhouette into everyday food items. As an Open Edition pin, it was primarily distributed through Cast Member pin trading boards and lanyards throughout the parks, making it a classic 'trader' piece for collectors. The design is simple yet iconic, showcasing the playful way Disney merchandise designers blend park heritage with fun, seasonal themes. Because it was part of a Hidden Mickey wave, many collectors spent time hunting for this specific piece during their 2017 visits to Walt Disney World. The pin features a bright red center with a dark green rind, capturing the essence of a summer treat. Its inclusion in a set of fruit-themed pins makes it a highly sought-after item for those building thematic collections or 'foodie' pin displays. While it is an Open Edition release, the Hidden Mickey designation adds a layer of nostalgia for those who remember the 2017 trading season. It remains a staple for collectors who appreciate the unique, smaller-scale designs that define the Hidden Mickey series.
