Hi guys, for all you experts out there I need to ask a question> Is there such a pin as a manatee pin? I don't know where to find out so I thought I would ask you guys. Thank you for any info, April

As far as I know Disney has not put one out, but I am sure you should be able to find one off property in Florida. Make sure you check the regular gift shop at the airport in Florida, maybe SeaWorld has one. Good Luck!

Here are a couple of sites I found, I just did a search for manatee pin and there is quite a bit that comes up.

There is a shop in there that sells Manatee everything, from wind chimes to pins. I'm not sure the name but next time I'm there I will look for you.

I know why you love Manatees so much April they are an awesome creation so tame and gentle.

And they taste just like chicken :teeth:

What you all thought I would keep a post serious get real!!!

April I'm kidding I belong to the Jimmy Buffet save the Manatee foundation, and spent a summer installing the prop guards on outboard motors for boaters in the Florida Rivers.

I have swam with Manatees and helped rescue one that would not leave the power plant waters because the power plants keep the waters warm, so they stay there and literally starve if they are not careful.

The store is there as well I’ll get a name and number for you.

A number of years ago, I purchased a manatee pin at the Living Seas in Epcot. I would say it was in 1997 or so. There was no writing on it--just a pale gray mommy and baby below it. On the back it says "The Pin Peddlers 1 800 841 8891"

I thought it was odd that Disney would sell a pin that was not their own, but I loved the pin because it represented the beautiful animal I saw that day.

I hope this helped you.--Wilma:)
