Hidden Disney Pins became all the rage among collectors when they were first released, and the “Hidden Mickey” is one of the most sought-after pins. They were named “Hidden Mickey” because each pin has a tiny Mickey Mouse had on them. The pins were distributed to Cast Members working at Disney.

The only way to obtain the pin was to trade Cast Members for them. Two times a year, Cast Members got several sets of Hidden Mickey pins, and they could trade them if they wanted. The first Hidden Mickey (and the most expensive) can be traced back to 1971 when Disney’s Imagineers were designing Epcot.
