Hidden Mickey 2017 WDW - Fruits - Pear

This vibrant pin features a bright lime-green pear designed in the iconic silhouette of Mickey Mouse. It is part of the 2017 Hidden Mickey series released at Walt Disney World, specifically within the 'Fruits' sub-set. A small, subtle Mickey Mouse icon is stamped onto the bottom left of the pear, which is the hallmark of the Hidden Mickey pin program. The design is minimalist and clean, utilizing a bright color palette that stands out among other fruit-themed releases. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed to guests through Cast Member trading, making it a popular target for collectors visiting the parks during that year. The Hidden Mickey program is a staple of Disney pin collecting, encouraging park-goers to seek out these elusive designs on lanyards worn by Cast Members. This specific pear design is highly sought after by collectors who enjoy fruit-themed sets or Mickey-shaped food motifs. Because it was part of a specific wave in 2017, it captures a distinct moment in the ongoing evolution of the Hidden Mickey collection. The pin's charm lies in its simplicity and the clever integration of the Mickey head shape into a common household fruit.
