Mickey Balloons Sleeping Beauty Castle

This enchanting Open Edition (OE) pin, part of the Disneyland Resort (DLR) Hidden Disney 2025: Wave A series, beautifully depicts iconic Mickey Icon Balloons floating above Sleeping Beauty Castle. The pin itself is uniquely shaped like Sleeping Beauty Castle, rendered with a screenprinted design that features no enamel and a subtle Hidden Mickey icon located in the bottom-right corner. Sleeping Beauty Castle, an enduring symbol of the Disneyland Resort, opened on July 17, 1955, and holds the distinction of being the oldest Disney castle, with its construction personally overseen by Walt Disney. Its design was inspired by various European medieval castles, notably the late 19th-century Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany. The "Hidden Disney" or "Hidden Mickey" pins are a beloved Open Edition series, initially distributed exclusively to Cast Members (CM) for pin trading, adding an exciting element of discovery for collectors. These pins are later made available for purchase in silver mystery pouches, each containing two random pins. The 2025 Disneyland Resort Hidden Disney collection comprises 37 pins across six themed categories, including the "Sleeping Beauty Castles" set to which this pin belongs. As a "Common" variant within this popular series, it represents a fun and accessible way for collectors to celebrate the magic of Disneyland Resort and its timeless icon.
