Disneys Mickey and the lovely Minnie Mouse starred {first | early on |in their first movie together in the Movie Plane Crazy, which was released on May 15, 1928. The film was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.Ub Iwerks was also themain animator for this short, and reportedly spent six weeks working on it. In fact, Iwerks was the top Cartoonist for Each Walt Disney short released in 1928 and 1929. Mainly Harman and Ising also helped Disney during those years. They had already signed their contracts with Charles Mintz, but he was still in the process of forming his new studio and so for the time being they were still working for and employed by walt. This movie would be the last they animated under this somewhat awkward situation.

The Weebles have been a popular toy from Hasbro since 1971
Weebles are an egg-shaped toy that just will not fall over try and see !)
Just like an egg they just right themselves again.

There are several series of weebles - some look like animals,some like humans and some were sold with accessories like vehicles,buildings etc.

Among these is a Circus set which is very popular.

Weebleville is a whole town to collect which is based on the weebles together with a Barn Dance,houses,a tree house, school and lots of figures.

The most popular series was probably the Storybook World series of 2006 which
included Cinderella,Jack and Jill,Goldilocks and Hansel and Gretel among the series.

Timex Mickey Mouse Watches

Which Disney Resort is every kid's favorite vacation best destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a reallyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse . There are always lots of great fun things to do like exciting Rides and then there are Adventure trails and a heap of other activities to keep them busy all day long.

In the 1960s Ingersoll became Timex which has grown to be a huge international company.
They produced both Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Watches in co-operation with Disney.

Mickey Mouse watches vary in price according to condition and as these were fairly inexpensive, many were given to children and have seen the ravages of time.

Minnie Mouse watches are now really popular and many movie stars have been seen wearing them.
I think that Minnie and Mickey Mouse watches will certainly be the desirable antiques of the future and wil of course be useful as timepieces in the meantime.

Pin Trading Terms

Which Disney Resort is every kid's nicest holiday dream holiday destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a reallyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or a Disney Princess. There are always lots of great fun things to do like Character Breakfasts and then there are Pirate Adventures and a heap of other activities to keep them entranced all day long.

Pin Trading Terms

   US $10.00
Disney Pin 100 Years of Magic WDW Mickey Mouses Sorcerers Wand Arm NIP

The hobby has its own (often confusing) terminology.
There are specific terms for different kinds of Pins and for people who trade in them !

We hope this guide helps you .

Artist Proof -

An Artist Proof pin (or AP pins) is a Pin made to test out a new design before the main production run.

These are made to verify quality.There are very few made and these have a small AP on the back.
Although there are very few made they are not usually much more valuable than standard run pins.
There is however a secondary market in these as some collectors only collect AP Pins.

http://www.bestvintagemickey.com/disneypins/Artists-Proof

Back Stamp -
Every genuine Trading Pin has a back stamp with information about the pin and a copyright notice.
In the case of a Limited Edition Pin this can also inclued the edition number or size.

Build-A-Pin -
From 2002 to 2004 Guests could create their own pins with personalised bases and their own choice of characters.
These made unique pins and these are fairly scarce.The opportunity ended in 2004.

Christmas Pins - A Whole range of Disney Pins feature Mickey and all the other Disney Characters having a great time at Christmas.

http://www.bestvintagemickey.com/disneypins/christmas-pins

Cloisonné - A Cloisonne Pin derives from Orient enamel work where areas are divided by preciousmetal partitions.
Cloisonne is French for Partioned.Each color is in a separate partition.Sometimes the partitioned aread include swirls or glitter colors.

CTT Pin - Continuing the tradition Pins.Given to Guests in recognition of their positive Pin Trading
Guests may be awarded a Continuing The Pin Trading Tradition pin for demonstrating positive
Disney Pin Trading etiquette and promoting Disney Pin Trading. Give so that Cast Member cas recognise a Positive Pin Trader.

Dangle Pin - A Dangle Pin has a secon piece that is attached wth chain or loops below the main pin and may have a different design.
These are Dangle Pins :

http://www.bestvintagemickey.com/disneypins/dangle%20pins

DISNEY MINNIE MOUSE – FORMAL SERIES PIN
   US $.99
DISNEY MINNIE MOUSE TANGRAM PIN
   US $.99
Disney MINNIE MOUSE CHEERLEADER Pin NEW
   US $3.99

Epoxy Coating - An Epoxy resin coating that usually protects the design. It dries to a glossy finish.

Fantasy Pin - A pin commissioned or produced by Disney pin collectors that contains similarities to Disney pins, but has not been created or endorsed by Disney.
These pins are not allowed to be traded with cast members, although collectors may trade for these pins amongst themselves. From time to time, Disney will produce a pin that is very similar to a fantasy pin.
Fantasy Pins :

Flocking - A Fuzzy area within the pin design..

FREE-D - Free-D stands for Fastened Rubber Element on a pin for Extra Dimension.
Pins that feature Free-D elements sometimes have discoloring issues and extra precautions
should be taken to make sure that the Free-D element is not dirtied.

GWP - A GWP (Gift with Purchase) pin is a bonus pin given to guests who buy at least $25 of pin merchandise in one transaction. The Disneyland Resort designates the first Sunday of every month GWP Sunday,
and has two collections each year of six pins each. The pins are often traded as lanyard fodder, and as a result they are not valuable initially.
Walt Disney World has promotions where GWPs are available for $1 each with a $30 purchase.
Their current promotion involves surplus Mystery Machine Pins .

Hard Enamel - a Cloisonne type technique with a brass base to the Pin.The Pin is die struck and the areas filled with enamel.These are Hand Made and polished (sometimes called New Cloisonne)

HHG - The Hitchhiking Ghosts of The Haunted Mansion (popular collectible)

Holy Grail - A pin collectors most wanted pin or pins.
A typical example is the surprise pin Wet Paint, an LE 1,000 pin depicting the wet paint sign
used at Walt Disney World showing Donald Duck and his nephews running through spilt paint which typically sells for over $200 on sites like eBay.
Grails are not necessarily expensive or rare, and some grails are elusive OE pins.
The term originates from the Arthurian legend of the Holy Grail.

http://www.bestvintagemickey.com/disneypins/holygrail-pins

HM -HM denotes either a Haunted Mansion or Hidden Mickey pin depending on the context.

Jumbo Pins - Jumbo Pins are larger and often more intricately designed than a regular size pin;
as such, the pins cost between US$20 and US$35. Featured Artist (Jumbo) Pins are currently released
at DLR, while WDW is currently releasing monthly Jumbo Monorail Collection Pins for 2008.
Traditionally, Jumbo Pins were released monthly with an edition size of 750 and available for $25.
Recently, Jumbo Pins have been sold in editions of 1000 for US$20 or, at the Disneyland Resort, in editions of 500 for US$35.

These4 are current offers of Jumbo Pins

http://www.bestvintagemickey.com/disneypins/Jumbo-Pins

LE - Limited Edition Pin

Lenticular Pin A Pin with two or more images superimposed over each other.These chage according to
the angle you view them at.

Light-Up Pin - These have flashing lights when switched on. Difficult to replace and obtain batteries.
The batteries may corrode these pins if neglected.Getting scarce.

Mickeys Mystery Pin Machine - Debuting at Mouse Gear in Epcot at WDW in late 2007,
the machines were a modified Gravity Hill arcade machine that dispensed a pin regardless of outcome.
The pins were part of small collections consisting of five pins each.
Although the pins originally cost $5 and were distibuted randomly,
they are currently the WDW GWP pins and the Machines have now been desgnated as inactive and removed.
Name Pins - Name Pins are pins that have a name engraved on them, and may not be traded with cast members.

OE Pins - Open Edition Pins on general sale.

POH - A Piece of History pin (POH) from the 2005 set is considered to be one of the rarest series
in Disney Pin Trading. Each pin contains a minuscule piece of a prop from a WDW attraction.
The first pin in the series, the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea pin with a sliver of a porthole, occasionally sells for over $275 on eBay. The success of the series has led to a 2006 and 2008 set.

PTN - Pin Trading Nights are monthly meetings of Disney Pin Traders at DLR, WDW, or Disneyland Paris resorts.
The Pin Trading Team provides pin games and gives traders the opportunity to trade and socialize.
Often, an LE pin is released to commemorate the occasion.

Rack Pins - Rack pins, also called Open Edition (OE) or core pins, are pins introduced and sold until they are discontinued or retired.
These pins are re-ordered for up to several consecutive years.
The starting retail price for these pins is typically $6.95 (for a flat pin).
Depending upon the number of features on the pin (such as pin-on-pin),
the retail price will increase to either $8.95 or $10.95.
Some OE pins have a high secondary value, such as the Soda Pop Series pins
which each go in the $20 range.

RSP -The Random Selection Process is the method by which LE pins are distributed at the Pin Events.
Each guest submits a form which has slots for the Limited Edition merchandise items offered.
Each slot is filled in order based on pin availability. If 1000 forms were to be submitted
and 50 forms had an LE 25 framed set in their first slot, the first 25 forms would be given
the purchase, with the remaining 25 given the opportunity to purchase their second-slot pin.
Typically, there are three rounds of the RSP process with the smaller editions being unavailable
to purchase in subsequent round. RSP forms only allow a style of pin to appear once on each RSP form so that there is a better, fairer chance of each person getting one pin.

Scrappers - Most Disney Pins are now made in China.The makers sometimes keep or sell the pin dies and run on many more pins at a huge profit.
Disney keenly tries to stop this.Scrappers are sold by dealers who buy them by the 100 and resell them. To see if your pin is a scrapper
check the sellers feedback on ebay. If he/she has sold 50 or more of a rare Pin then he/she may sell Scrappers.
Scrappers can also be reject Didey Pins that shoud have been destroyed.Recent Hidden Mickey pins, DLR pins especially, have flooded the market months before
their initial introductions.
Scrappers are usually sold at much lower than market price and traded
onto lanyards

Secondary Market - Welcome to the Secondary Market !
This is a term used for stores or auctions/website who resell Disney Pins.Values change often
Some pins become valuable and desirable.Warning - some pins become very expensive when released and then may drop according to demand.
Most pins retain or increase in value.These may also be rejects for color or design faults.The greatest appreciation is the WET PAINT Pin which was originally $8.50 and now fetches over $200.

Shark - A person is considered a pin shark if they trade less valuable pins for more valuable pins,
taking advantage unsuspecting or new pin traders,
primarily for monetary gain. Use of this term has caused some controversy in the pin trading and collecting community since the value of pins on the secondary market can fluctuate widely and the value of most pins is highly subjective. Sharks are also known to buy highly anticipated pins with
groups of up to 20 people at multiple locations to bypass fair-trading protocols.

Slider Pin - A Pin with a movable piece that slides back and forth across the base of the main Pin.

Spinner Pin - A Pin with a spinning mechanism that moves a piece of the pin 360 degrees.

Soft Enamel - A sort of cheaper version of Cloisonne.The Design is stamped into the base metal.There are no metal wire compartments.The design is filled with enamel colors and baked.An Epoxy coat is given to protect the Pin. It is usually thinner than Cloisonne.

Surprise or Mystery Pins - These pins usually feature a low-Limited Edition size.
Typically, the back stamp will included the words SURPRISE PIN.
The release of this pin happens randomly at various merchandise locations within the Disney Theme Parks and Resorts. Although Surprise pins have continued at the Disneyland Resort (as evidenced by their current Resort Sign set), WDW releases Surprise pins at PTNs very rarely.

Meet Disney Characters

Which Disney Resort is every kid's fun -packed vacation dream holiday destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a TrulyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or a Disney Princess. There are always lots of great fun things to do like exciting Rides and then there are Pirate Adventures and a heap of other activities to keep them busy all day long.

Meet Disney Characters
Meeting the Characters at Disneyworld is a large part of the fun of Disneyworld.
Here are some of the places you are likely to meet Mickey and his Friends
How to meet Mickey and his friends
Where is the Best Place to meet Characters ?
The simple answer is that you are likely to meet Disney Characters anywhere in Disneyworld.

Moonlight Romance Mickey and Minnie Mouse
   US $64.13
Mickeys Christmas Carol Mickey Mouse
   US $64.13
Walt Disneys Animation Mickey collectible A5
   US $5.00

At City Hall you can find a full listing for each day where popular characters like Mickey and Minnie are likely to be.
There is a daily show just in front of Cinderellas Castle and this is usually hosted by Mickey .
I have found that in the town square just after opening time is the best place to meet the most popular characters as later on it is more difficult to get to meet them due to crowds of fans.
For younger guests I advise looking in the Town Square first.
At Mickeys Country House you may well get to meet Mickey .
Mickeys Toontown Fair is another place you could get to shake hands with him.
(No ice cream on his gloves though please ..)
The guaranteed way to meet characters is in Character Dining .
These opportunities take place in various restaurants and reservations are usually necessary.
Minnie is often to be found in the Toontown Hall of Fame and that is quite a good place to meet her.
In Fantasyland at the Character Festival you will see almost all of your favourite characters.And you also get to meet the Disney Characters.
Because of the large number of guests though you may not be able to get close to them.

When you arrive in Disneyworld you will see Main Street ahead of you and this is FULL of great stores selling just about everything Disney .
There are also cafes and candy stores and often a balloon seller.

Marx Disneykins Monty Mouse Made in Hong Kong 1960s
   US $3.99
ANTIQUE DISNEY 1930s MICKEY MOUSE PLANTER FIGURINE WALT DISNEY USA
   US $40.00
Micky Mouse
   US $300.00

Not All Attractions or Rides may be available all the time.
Disney are very diligent about keeping their rides and attractions in great condition and they may have to close a ride sometimes for maintenance.
Some rides and attractions have height restrictions and these are adhered to strongly for safety reasons.
On some rides you may get wet. It is sensible to put cameras videos etc into ziploc bags to keep them dry.

Extra Magic Hours.
To visit Disneyworld for the Extra Magic Hours you need a valid theme park ticket plus for evening visits a Wrist Bandwhich is available at City Hall .
For Morning Extra Magic hours you do not require a wristband and not so many rides and attractions are open then.

Not all rides and attractions are open during Extra Magic Hours and to visit Disneyworld from another Disney Theme Park you will need the Park Hopper option.

Which Disney Resort is every kid's best holiday resort destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a reallyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse . There are always lots of great fun things to do like exciting Rides and then there are Pirate Adventures and a heap of other activities to keep them busy all day long.

Mickey Mouse Fun - The Story

Lovable Mickey has been around for 80 years and is as well appreciated by modern children as he was back then
Friendly and fun, Mickey Mouse became the main symbol for Walt Disney and his company.
Mickey was not the earliest of Walts creations and Mickey was in fact originally a replacement for Oswald the lucky Rabbit (who faded into obscurity long ago)

This followed a dispute between Walt and Universal Studios and he was inspired
to create Mickey by a little mouse from his farm.
Although Walt originally called Mickey Mortimer mouse, this wife talked him out of it and they settled on Mickey.

Part of the character of Mickey was taken from the idea of the little tramp portrayed by Charlie Chaplin as a vaguely wistful character battling against adversity and somehow winning through.
This was the beginning of the Mickey Mouse Fun.
It is probably the battle of the little guy against harder forces that makes Mickey such a lovable (if sometimes a bit of a likeable rogue)Character.

Minnie was created very soon after and she made her debut in the cartoon Plane Crazy in 1928

Naughty Mickey kept trying to kiss Minnie and she eventually parachuted out of the open plane and Mickey Crashed instead of landing.

Steamboat Willie was the most famous early cartoon featuring Mickey and this had a soundtrack which was very popular.

As the cartoon grew,so did Mickeys popularity.

He was usually seen in those early days wearing white gloves (so that his hands would show up against his black body).

As children many of us used to go to the childrens club at the local cinema
and sat entranced at the antics of Mickey and his pals.

The cartoons nearly always had a moral ending and it may be a great idea to rent some dvds and hold a mickey mouse fun party for your child and their friends.

I think you will surprised at their positive reactions.

Mickey is definitely a force for good.

Which Disney Resort is every Child's nicest vacation resort destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a reallyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse . There are always lots of great fun things to do like Character Breakfasts and then there are exciting Shows and a heap of other activities to keep them amused all day long.

The Haunted Mansion
This is one of the most popular rides in Disneyland and Disneyworld.
It’s a Dark Ride where after you queue to get in you are shown into the Library by the Butler (who looks more like an Undertaker ! )
Something really strange happens in the Library but I will not spoil the surprise..

This is called a Dark Ride because you are taken through the ride ina car and this is unlight.…
You will then see and meet a series of Disney Characters including
The Bride
She haunts the attic of the Mansion and is generally considered to be one of the spookiest characters in the Haunted Mansion.
The bride is now a Digital projection and looks quite scary !
In Tokyo The Bride was a dark face with glowing eyes and the sound of her beating heart quite fills the attic. Her heart can be seen glowing through her chest..
The very Scary Black Widow Bride – alleged to have married and murdered her five husbands for their money, while she mutters ghastly wedding vows a gleaming hatchet suddenly appears in her hand.
Your Ghostly Host – his creepy voice is actually all you get to hear of him as he comments throughout all of the ride. He is supposed to have hanged himself in the Attic..He greets you with the sentence –
Welcome Foolish Mortals.
Master Gracey – a heartbroken young man after his lover Elizabeth Killed herself.
Henry Ravenswood – a mine owner who hanged the unwanted groom to be of his daughter on her wedding day. His whole family died during an earthquake in 1860.
Madame Leota – one of the most famous characters you should see on the ride.
She is a gypy lady who is a fortune teller trapped inside a crystal ball.
You will pass through her chamber in which you will see a seance in progress with floating musical instruments and other paraphenalia. She was supposed to have killed the wives of Master Gracey but was entrapped into the crystal ball magically when she tried to kill him.
A number of Disney Characters appear in various guises throughout the ride including Mickey, Minnie and Goofy (who plays the organ – badly !)

All of them are available as collectors Pins.
You will see Floating Candelabras held by an invisible ghost who wanders the halls.
A very scary part of the ride is the Corpse who is trying to break free from a large coffin – complete with cries for help.

The few living creatures in the Haunted Mansion includes the Raven –
The Raven appears several times during the ride and is the symbol of Death
More Ghosts –
Pickwick - based on the Charles Dickens Character he swings from the chandelier by his cane.
Also on the chandelier are the ghosts of Marc Antony and Cleopatra for a little love interest.

In the Ballroom (a really scary place ) – you will see The Organist playing a huge pipe organ at the far end of the room. Ghosts ooze out of the pipes during the music.

He is supposed to have come over from Ireland and his fingers were crushed by the organ.- he then committed suicide as he put his music before his life.
One group of ghosts you will definitely see are the Hitchhiking Ghosts..
They are hugely popular and there is lots of merchandise including pins for them.
They are :
Ezra – a voyeur with an obsession for overweight ladies – came to a sad and sticky end under the Mayors Daughter.
Phineas Queeg – a Snake Oil Salesman with a nasty sense of humor – his remedies made all ailments worse ! Committed to the Salem Insane Asylum after selling Youth Elixir to the chief of Police.. Died of lead poisoning
GUS – A deviant killer of people and animals – wears a ball and chain.
The three of them hang around looking for someone they would like to follow home.. could it be you ?

Are there REAL GHOSTS in the Haunted Mansion ?
Well perhaps there are – like calls to like after all.
Rumours include
THE CRYING BOY whose ashes were spread at night by his mother inside the Mansion.
Teenager who were supposed to have died getting off the ride at the Séance Circle and feel to their deaths.
The Man with a cane – supposedly the pilot of a light plane who crashed into the lake nearby.
Mysterious Lights in the Mansion at night… unexplained glowing balls of light that can be seen in the windows after dark – no-one knows what they are ….
