The Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Opening 2001
On Wednesday, May 23rd, a limited edition pin for the new Magic Kingdom attraction, "The Magic Carpets of Aladdin - Opening 2001" will be released at the Magic Kingdom. This pin is a limited edition of 1000 pins, therefore Pin Vouchers and Queue Vouchers will be used. 

Beginning at 8:00 am on Wednesday May 23rd, Pin Vouchers will be handed out at the "Walk Around the World" brick kiosk located just outside the Magic Kingdom. A-Frame signage at the Ticket and Transportation Center, Monorail area and Bus loop will direct guests to that location for them to pick up their voucher. Once all of the Pin Vouchers have been distributed, a small number of individually numbered Queue Vouchers will be distributed. 

The Pin Vouchers will allow guests to purchase up to two (2) of the limited edition pins, per person on that day only. Guests wishing to purchase these pins will go to the shop, "Agrabah Bazaar", to purchase these pins. The vouchers will expire at 12 noon, so guests must make their purchases by that time.

All limited edition pin purchase limits apply. This voucher DOES NOT guarantee pins will still be available, however it goes guarantee a spot in the standby queue.

New WDW Guest Service Fanatic Pins


Guest Service Fanatic 25
Guest Service Fanatic 50
Guest Service Fanatic 75
Guest Service Fanatic 100

The Guest Service Fanatic 25 pin is available to some, but not all
Cast Members at WDW, but the
Guest Service Fanatic 50, 75 and 100 pins are only
given out to the Cast Members who work at the Disney-MGM Studios.
They are extremely rare and are only handed out to the
"Cream of the Crop", or those Cast Members that
have consistently gone above and beyond
in the area of Guest/Cast service.

Managers have guest service fanatic cards and when they see a
CM do "something terrific", the CM is given a card.
When the CM gets 25 cards, they get the first pin.
50 the next, etc.

The Guest Service Fanatic 100 is a
new addition to the program.
