New Walt Pin

Has everyone seen this pin? Very nice. If anyone has one for trade, I have some rare Walt pins to trade among others.

Very nice pin... What is it from?

From what I've read, guests who took a tour over the weekend received these pins as a gift (nice gift). Someone posted that they were supposed to have been made during the 100th b-day celebration but never made it to production in time.

I wonder how many of the pin was made...

I was actually lucky enough to get one of these pins. I was at a convention for CliniVision, an information system that is hospital based. We were given a tour on May 19th through the Disney Institute, titled Inspiration Through Walt's Eyes. It is given to corporate customers only. After the tour, we were all given these pins. There were 150 of us on the tour so that is how many were given at that time. Our guide told us we were the first group to get them. He said they used to give out pins that were developed for the 100 year celebration but finally got one made specifically for that tour. I also happen to be a Disney collector, so was thrilled to get it but many on the tour really didn't care about it. He had to explain how valuable they were going to be to the group and told everyone not to trade for just anything. This happened to be the same guide we had on a Backstage Magic tour last year. (That tour also has a great pin.) I asked how often they give the tour and he said about once a month on average, sometimes a couple of times a month and occassionally just every other month but on average once.
