Welcome to planDisney, Nancy. Your question has had me on pins and needles... and pulling out a shovel and headlamp to do a little digging to try to stitch together an answer.
The latest information I could pin down on Hidden Mickey pins from an official Disney online source was a post on
Disney Parks Blog in 2017. I found a few unofficial sites that have lists as recent as 2022, but a Cast Member shared that Disney is no longer pin-ning this list.
You can find
news about upcoming pin releases from
Walt Disney World Resort. And I have heard
Disney's Pin Traders shop at
Disney Springs has re-introduced pin trading with Cast Members. This might be the first place you want to visit to speak with Cast Members about the latest and greatest topics of pin-terest. They tend to be on point.
Have you read this
story about Jes Willis? She is such a talent and one of the many Cast Members who make our pin trading - and collecting - pin-credible. I would say she is at the pin-nacle of her career, but I expect we will benefit from her talents for a long time to come.
Like you, I hope pin trading continues to grow in popularity and return to the enthusiasm we saw pre-pandemic.
I hope you don't mind me needling you with all these pin puns. They just kept sticking with me.
I hope your next trip to Walt Disney World Resort is pin-credible!
