Big Al Walt Disney World 15th Anniversary Coca Cola Pin

This vintage collectible features Big Al, the beloved, guitar-strumming bear from the Country Bear Jamboree attraction, wearing a decorative crown. The pin was released in 1986 to commemorate the Walt Disney World 15th Anniversary and features a prominent Coca-Cola logo base, marking a significant corporate partnership era at the parks. Big Al is a standout character from the Country Bear Jamboree, which opened with the Magic Kingdom in 1971 and remains a classic piece of Disney history. As a Limited Edition 1000 release, this pin serves as a notable example of early Walt Disney World promotional merchandise. The design captures Big Al's signature bewildered expression and charm, rendered in a classic, period-appropriate style. Collectors highly value this piece for its historical connection to the 15th Anniversary celebration and its status as a crossover promotional item between Disney and The Coca-Cola Company. The pin's age and limited production run make it a sought-after item for fans of vintage park memorabilia and Country Bear enthusiasts alike. Its inclusion in the Coca-Cola 15th Anniversary Walt Disney World series highlights a specific window in time when corporate sponsorships were prominently integrated into anniversary branding. Owning this pin provides a tangible connection to the early, formative years of the Walt Disney World Resort.
