This Mission: Space: International Space Training Center - We Choose to Go! Slider Pin captures the excitement of the opening of the iconic Epcot attraction. Released in 2003, this Open Edition pin features a dimensional design with a slider element that allows the shuttle to move across the celestial backdrop. The pin prominently displays the attraction's logo alongside the inspirational phrase 'We Choose to Go!', a nod to President John F. Kennedy's famous 1962 speech regarding the space race. As an Open Edition pin from the year the attraction debuted at Walt Disney World, it serves as a nostalgic piece for those who remember the early days of the International Space Training Center. The design incorporates bold colors and clean lines, characteristic of the futuristic aesthetic Epcot promoted during the early 2000s. Collectors value this piece not only for its historical connection to the attraction's launch but also for its interactive slider feature, which adds a layer of depth and playability often sought after in pin collecting. The pin effectively balances the technical, professional tone of the attraction with the classic Disney magic that guests encounter at the park. Being an Open Edition release, it was widely available to park guests during its production run, making it a accessible yet significant memento for fans of space-themed Disney attractions. Its inclusion in the Mission: Space Disney Trading Pin series makes it a staple for anyone building a collection focused on Epcot's Future World.
As an Open Edition pin, this piece is generally more accessible than limited releases, though its age and status as an opening-year attraction pin have solidified its place in many collections. The slider functionality is a highly desirable feature for collectors, as moving parts often increase the appeal and playability of a pin. While not considered a rare or high-value item due to its Open Edition status, its thematic relevance to Epcot history makes it a consistent trade item among park-focused collectors.
Mission: SPACE officially opened at Epcot in Walt Disney World on October 9, 2003, following a soft opening period that included the release of this pin in April 2003. The attraction replaced the classic Horizons pavilion, marking a significant shift in the park's focus toward high-intensity, thrill-based experiences that simulate real astronaut training.
