The Official Disney Fan Club, D23, launched last year with a large presence in the Disney Fan Community. Some of this presence involved marketing of different sorts, such as promotional buttons handed out to fans and in the Disney parks.
They suggested that we attend the First D23 Expo in Anaheim, California. But if that wasn't up your street, why not give the gift of D23 membership this Christmas? Or perhaps just a button.
Following on from yesterday, we now look at some more buttons from the parks. These ones you should recognise, highlighting some popular attractions from the Disney theme parks. Of course, there were also buttons available highlighting Disney films or brands - let's take a look at just some of the more interesting ones!
Over the next few days, we're going to go back to a time when Pin Trading was a mere glimmer in Walt Disney World's eyes. Back when, for just a dollar or two, you could collect something fun and something to remember your trip to the World.
I'm talking about buttons, of course! Or badges, as we call them here in the UK. These were what I collected before pins and before Vinylmation, and any other 'marketing' collection from the theme parks.
Today's collection shows some fantastic "vintage" buttons from in and around Walt Disney World. Take, for example, these general Walt Disney World buttons.Or the celebration badges, for 20th and 25th year anniversaries. And buttons highlighting the individual theme parks always make for great souvenirs.
