Hidden Mickey 2017 DLR - Minnie Fruits - Lemon Slice

This charming pin is part of the 2017 Minnie Fruits Hidden Mickey series, specifically featuring Minnie Mouse stylized as a bright yellow lemon slice. The design incorporates Minnie's iconic silhouette, complete with her signature bow depicted in vibrant green, sitting atop a citrus-inspired Mickey Mouse head shape. A small, subtle Mickey Mouse icon is located in the bottom left segment of the lemon, serving as the identifying mark for this Hidden Mickey collection. As an Open Edition release from the Disneyland Resort, these pins were originally distributed via Cast Member trading boards and mystery pouches, making them a staple for park-goers and collectors alike. Minnie Mouse, who first debuted alongside Mickey in the 1928 short 'Steamboat Willie,' is a beloved icon whose likeness is frequently reimagined in creative food-themed merchandise. The Minnie Fruits set became highly popular due to its fresh, colorful aesthetic and the fun challenge of collecting the entire series of fruit-themed variations. Collectors value these pins for their whimsical design and the inherent hunt involved in finding specific Hidden Mickey series pieces at the parks. This pin remains a delightful representation of the 2017 Hidden Mickey program at Disneyland Resort.
