Sneak Peak at WDW November
Pin of the Month


with Goofy as Sagittarius!!!

This pin will be released property wide
on Thursday November 1, 2001.

LE 5000 ~ Retail $8.50


On behalf of the Vast Research Department, Happy would like to thank everybody that helped them research the origin of this New Fantasyland Press Guest Pin.
This was a pin provided to members of the press who attended the opening gala for the unveiling of the New Fantasyland at Disneyland after it was refurbished in 1982 and reopened on May 23, 1983.

And Scott also tells us that at this press event, it was the first and only time in DL history that the drawbridge was closed to the land...during the event there was a dragon that came out of the moat...ending with the relowering of the drawbridge. During the rehab, the teacups were moved so that they were situated next to the entrance of the Alice ride, creating a mini-land of Alice in Wonderland. Also, the Pinocchio ride debuted along with the Village Haus Restaurant. The old Chicken of the Sea Pirate ship was removed, and all of the facades were redone.

Thanks Scott!!
