Official Disney Pin Blog Posts and Merchandise Info

Sometimes the Disney Parks Blog makes posts that include pin information. Also, Disney will post event & merchandise information on their Shopping & Events page. Disney also likes to reconfigure their websites from time to time, and when they do, they delete all the old content, making it lost to future pin collectors & people who want to review it. If you were to search DPF, you would find a lot of broken links. So the purpose of this thread is to collect them all in one place, so a moderator (probably me) can go back and add links to The Wayback Machine / Internet Archive, so the next time Disney plays around... we can still access the content (as long as archive.org survives).

Feel free to continue to add this type of info in other places as well (Yearly release thread, or Event Threads, etc.)

The holiday season is upon us, and there’s no better way to spread joy than with the gift of Disney!

This year, we’re excited to introduce a delightful collection of new Disney Gift Cards that not only feature your favorite characters but also spark the magic of sharing and giving. With designs that capture the warmth and cheer of the season, these gift cards are perfect for everyone on your list, no matter the age.

Holiday Pin Series: A Sweater Weather Celebration​

This year’s Disney Gift Card Pin Series is all about cozy nostalgia and festive fun! Available exclusively at select merchandise locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, this limited-time collection depicts Mickey Mouse and other beloved Disney characters in their North Pole Toy Workshop.

Join them as they wrap presents big and small – a heartwarming storyline you might spot featured throughout other Disney experiences this season.

Each gift card, sold separately with a minimum activation of $125, comes with a complimentary Disney Trading Pin – a snug sweater featuring classic Disney characters.
Choose from four unique designs: Mickey in his elf-best, Minnie sporting her bedazzled bows, Chip & Dale with their playful acorns, or Stitch, whose ukulele brings a tropical twist. The enamel pins sparkle extra bright this year, sure to make the holiday period oh-so-merry.

Kristen Carlin, Senior Art Director at Disney’s Alliance Promotions team, shared the inspiration behind these whimsical designs. “Sweaters tell a story about family traditions and the holiday time that is very near and dear to many Disney guests,” she explained.

With each pin, Kristen and her team aimed to evoke a warm, joyful feeling, using colors that are not only festive but also inclusive of all celebrations. “We always want to keep in mind that our offerings are engaging and welcoming to all guests, no matter what they celebrate.”

Whether you’re drawn to Mickey’s cheerful red and green ensemble or Stitch’s playful blue knit, there’s something for everyone to love! Collect all four or pick your favorite, available now while supplies last.

Destination D23: A Journey Around the Worlds of Disney​

August 29-31st, 2025
Orlando, FL

D23 returns to The Most Magical Place on Earth for the biggest Disney fan event of 2025… now at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World Resort, from August 29 – 31, 2025! D23 Gold Members will be among the first to hear exciting announcements and see sneak peeks from the many worlds of Disney—and relive favorite memories with behind-the-scenes stories, special guests, and so much more at this epic event. More than doubling in size in 2025, fans can look forward to a weekend filled with exclusive presentations from Walt Disney Archives and the Walt Disney Studios; spectacular entertainment; and peeks into all the worlds of Disney, along with a variety of unique interactive and shopping experiences.

I wonder how that affects the schedule for the pin event - or was that date already announced?

It would be nice if they were back to back weekends for people to be able to attend both.

Last time, the pin event was on this weekend and Destination D two weeks later. Maybe the other way around this time?

Hopefully they don't keep them split that far apart so people can do both.

Display a New Pooh Pin Every Month​

Pin collectors and Winnie the Pooh fans, your new 2025 obsession is here—the Winnie the Pooh Pin of the Month Series! Each month throughout 2025, you’ll discover a new pin that brings Pooh and his pals to life, capturing the lovable spirit of the Hundred Acre Wood. Whether you’re a longtime Pooh fan or just starting your pin collection, these monthly pins are the perfect way to celebrate the timeless charm of these iconic characters. And to make the collection even more special, a cute display frame featuring a map of the Hundred Acre Wood will be available, so you can proudly show off your pins. Start in January, and by the end of the year, you’ll have a magical collection to cherish forever!

Since I don’t have a secret Pooh collection, I don’t need this.
