Happiness is Best Shared Together - Precious Moments

This charming Open Edition (OE) Disney pin, titled "Happiness is Best Shared Together - Precious Moments," was released in 2010 at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW). The pin beautifully captures the distinctive style of Precious Moments, featuring two of their signature teardrop-eyed children, a boy and a girl, seated together on a grassy bench. Behind them, classic Disney icon Mickey Mouse peeks out, adding a touch of beloved Disney magic. The boy holds what appears to be a Mickey Mouse-shaped treat, while the girl holds a Mickey Mouse balloon, echoing the design of a popular 2005 Precious Moments Disney figurine with the same title. The Precious Moments brand, created by Samuel J. Butcher, is renowned for its heartwarming illustrations and figurines that debuted in 1978, emphasizing themes of faith, love, and compassion. Disney Theme Park Merchandise initiated a collaboration with Precious Moments in 2005, leading to a successful series of figurines and later, pins that blend the sentimental Precious Moments aesthetic with iconic Disney characters. This pin is part of a broader "Precious Moments" Disney pin series, which includes other popular designs. Its appeal lies in this unique crossover, attracting collectors who appreciate both the nostalgic charm of Precious Moments and the timeless joy of Disney.
