Hidden Mickey Pin Types
A quick guide to the most-talked-about Disney trading pins.
Hidden Disney Pins
Hidden Mickey pins are Disney-produced pins that hide a Mickey head silhouette somewhere in the design. The silhouette is part of the metal (same as the back/linework), appearing as unfilled metal within the enamel art.
Cast Lanyard Pins
Also called “Hidden Mickey” pins, these start as Cast-Member-only trades (not sold). Identified by a small silver Mickey, they release in themed series and are prized for limited availability.
Hidden Mickey Completer
Completer pins are the scarce final piece of a set. Disney makes fewer of them, so they’re the hardest to find and the ultimate “finish” for collectors.
Hidden Mickey Chaser
Chasers are unfilled versions (just metal, no paint) of other pins released in the same wave—often treated as the complementary capstone and highly sought after.
