Hidden Mickey 2015 DLR - Mardi Gras - Pluto

This charming pin features Pluto, Mickey Mouse's loyal companion, dressed in a festive Mardi Gras jester hat. Released as part of the Hidden Mickey 2015 Disneyland Resort collection, this pin was specifically designed for the Mardi Gras sub-set. Pluto is depicted with his iconic happy expression, tongue lolling out, wearing a colorful blue, green, and red jester cap adorned with a small Hidden Mickey icon. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally available through Cast Member pin trading at the Disneyland Resort, making it a classic "scrapper" and trader favorite. The Hidden Mickey series is highly sought after by collectors because these pins are not sold in retail stores, but rather obtained by trading with Disney Cast Members. Pluto, who first appeared in 1930's 'The Chain Gang', remains one of the most beloved Disney characters, and his appearance in holiday-themed sets like Mardi Gras is consistently popular. The vibrant colors of the jester hat contrast beautifully with Pluto’s classic yellow fur, making it a standout addition to any collection. Because this is part of the 2015 wave, it serves as a nostalgic piece for those who were actively trading at the parks during that era. Collectors often look for these pins to complete their Hidden Mickey sets, which are renowned for their intricate designs and thematic variety.
