39920 - WDW Cast Lanyard Series I: Formal Attire - Pluto in Spats and Top Hats - Walt Disney World

Pin Description:

This is the first series of Cast Lanyard exclusive pins released at WDW in 2002 to address the lack of diversity in trading options on cast lanyards. There were no hidden mickey symbols on these pins. The pins were released throughout the year in eight different batches, much like modern hidden mickey pins, however they did not release a whole design collection at once. Instead, they released one pin from each collection at a time. You could not complete a series until the final batch was released. The pins were found exclusively on WDW Cast Member Lanyards and were never available for sale with the exception of the Completers that were later released in 2006. Another almost identical set of Formal Attire pins were released in 2007 with the hidden mickey symbol printed on them.

Pluto the dog is wearing a black top hat and white cuffs around his paws. He has on a pink collar with white dots and he is smiling. The pin is square. Pluto was released in Batch 8.

Reverse of pin reads: Disney's Lanyard Pin Series.
