85828 - Company D - Walt Disney World 25th Anniversary Commemorative Framed Set - Donald in Alien Encounter (Happy 24th) - Theme Park Cast Member Exclusive

Pin Description:

This pin was part of a framed set that was exclusively available to Cast Members. It was created for the 25th Anniversary of Walt Disney World and was sold at Company D stores during the anniversary celebration in 1996. These replica 25 anniversary pins were made in cloisonne. The original anniversary buttons were made of plastic, brooch backs, or, in one instance, a ribbon. This particular pin features Donald Duck, who is frightened and sweating by the murderous monster hanging over him on ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter. It features the over-the-shoulder restraints used in the ride to simulate the movement of the alien throughout the theater.

The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter attraction was shut down on October 12, 2003. The pin has a diameter of 1.5 inches (38 mm) and the backstamp reads "© DISNEY." Like all the pins in this collection, there is some residue from double-stick tape or glue on the back, which Disney used to secure the pin to the matting of the frame.
