DLR and WDW Cast Hidden Disney Series 1 (2020)
Hidden Disney Series 1 pins debuted at WDW September 22, 2020. Disneyland pins did not debut until the pouches were released, as Disneyland was closed for the Covid pandemic until April 2021. The collection includes a shared series (Carnevale Masks) and two complementary series that share a theme but the pins are different (Star Wars Droids and Marvel Icons). Hidden Disney pouches (“Disney” written in white) debuted late January 2021. Completer pins are only found in the pouches, and therefore are more limited. The Super Completer was available for purchase at DLR and WDW for $17.99.
Disney prepared a Series 1 flyer, but distribution was via DisneyPinsBlog.com.
DLR and WDW Cast Hidden Disney Series 1 (2020)
Cast Hidden Disney Series 2 (2022)
Intended as the follow up to the 2020 series, Series 2 did not release until late December 2022. Both Walt Disney World and Disneyland have the exact same pins. The rumor goes that Disneyland chose not to participate, got cold feet, and ordered WDW’s pins at the last minute. Pouches (“Disney” written in yellow) debuted February 2023. Completer pins were only released in pouches and are therefore more limited.

DLR and WDW Cast Hidden Disney Series 3 (2024)
The 2024 Hidden Disney series debuted at Disneyland on March 1, 2024. Walt Disney World pins debuted on April 7, 2024. There are no shared releases, but several complementary series. Terminology changed from prior usage and “Completer” pins are now referred to as “Chaser” pins. Each set features a Headless Horseman Ear Hat Super Chaser. DLR’s has a purple cape while, WDW’s is a red cape. Pouches released May 2024. WDW pouches have “Disney” written in baby blue, Disneyland’s in hot pink
Disney Pins Blog has distributed the WDW Checklist, but we are still awaiting the DLR flyer. And we are still waiting for something other than a really bad photograph.

DLR and WDW Cast Hidden Disney Series 4 Wave A (2025)
The first wave of 2025 pins released in January 2025. There are no shared releases, but there are complementary series. The Ear Headbands set features a Super Chaser including each park’s castle. Updated pouch packaging, silver with royal blue accents, uses the castle to differentiate between DLR and WDW sets. Pouches released on both coasts April 8, 2025 and quickly sold out. Only DLR has received a restock in early June 2025.

Get to Know: Hidden Disney Series
So that brings us to where we are now. In 2020, Hidden Mickey pins were renamed to Hidden Disney pins to include Disney’s acquisitions. New silver symbols: The Pixar Ball for Pixar, Avengers Logo for Marvel and Rebel / Imperial symbols for Star Wars replace the Hidden Mickey identifier. Eagle-eye collectors will have noticed that Marvel pins are sold with a round rubber back and not the usual Mickey Icon. The same goes for Hidden Disney Marvel pins.
