Favorite Cast Lanyard / Hidden Mickey / Hidden Disney Sub-Series?

There is far too much chatter about Disneyland Ds and Castles, so let's skip those for this question.

My favorites are pretty old.

DLR - The 2 sets of Alice in Wonderland Pocketwatches (Cast Lanyard Series IV and Hidden Mickey 2007). Although my 2007 pins are all fakes/ 🙁

This is a hard one. I love hidden mickeys.

My favorite is the Minnie headbands. They are all good, though I think I like 2025 over 2026.
Also the color story series!

Color story for me!
I love the refined simplicity of them, & all the different ways they can be displayed (a single pop of pure bright color on a character board, grouping characters who are otherwise wouldn't be associated by color alone, or picking a specific set of colors for a theme).

I also have a soft spot for the cupcake pins (I like food-themed pins in general); though I don't think all of them hit the balance between 'character themed' & 'still recognizable as a cupcake'.
