Era / Decade
Early 2010s. Based on the gold-tone figural design and the 'The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness' sticker visibility, these were common park accessories and promotional items from roughly 2008-2015.
Material
Polyester webbing lanyard; die-cast metal pins with 'gold-tone' finish and plastic 'Mickey head' rubber pin backs.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The gold plating shows light surface scratches and minor tarnish consistent with rubbing against other pins. No significant chipping of the finish is visible in the image.
Demand Level
Strong. Disney pin trading remains a very active hobby with a constant influx of new collectors and completionists looking for older figural styles.

Description
This is an official Disney Parks Pin Trading ensemble featuring a black fabric lanyard with blue character silhouettes. Attached are two highly collectible 3D figural pins: a sitting Pluto in polished gold-tone and a standing Mickey Mouse on a pedestal, also in gold-tone. The Mickey figural pin includes the 'Disney Parks' logo on the base. Perfect for Disney collectors or those looking to start a pin trading collection.
Key Features
High brand recognition; 'Gold-tone' figural pins are more desirable than standard flat enamel pins; 3D sculpted detail; Official Disney Parks merchandise; Includes the lanyard.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Look for the 'Official Pin Trading' logo on the back of the pins and the '© Disney' stamp. The weight of the metal and the specific sculpts are consistent with authentic park merchandise.
Flaws to Note
Micro-scratching on the metallic finish; potentially loose pin backs if they are the standard rubber style; the 'Fort Wilderness' sticker is likely on the shirt, but if it is on the lanyard, it may leave adhesive residue.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for searchability and collectors), Mercari (active Disney community), or Disney-specific Facebook Buy/Sell/Trade groups.
Selling Tips
Take macro photos of the back of the pins to show the Disney stamp as proof of authenticity. Use keywords like '3D Figural,' 'Gold Tone,' 'Retired,' and 'Disney Parks.' Ship in a bubble mailer to prevent the pin posts from bending during transit.
