Timm's design resembles a roadside billboard and features Maleficent transforming into a ferocious fire breathing dragon. The billboard reads "Experience the wonder of Fantasmic!" When asked about his Pinbassador Inspirations, Timm replied, "While thumbing through a book with vintage images of California, I was inspired by the artistic styles of billboards around the country. Fantasmic! lends itself to be interpreted as a billboard, as it epitomizes the word odyssey in the battle of good vs. evil." Pinbassador Inspirations - Hitchhiker's Beware Limited Edition: 1000 - Retail $10.95 (Limit TWO (2) per Guest) This Limited Edition pin was inspired by Timm Lundeen, Project Manager for Disney Pin Trading at the Disneyland® Resort. Timm's design features in the Hitchhiking Ghosts from The Haunted Mansion® Attraction. Regarding the design, Timm says, "Continuing with my inspiration of making our Guests part of the magic, I thought it would be fun to put a twist on the finale scene of the Haunted Mansion, where the Ghosts are the unsuspected riders and it is your image that they see in the mirror." Pinbassador Inspirations - Aloha from Disneyland® Jumbo Pin Limited Edition: 500 - Retail $40.00 (Limit ONE (1) per Guest) This Jumbo Limited Edition pin was inspired by Steven Miller, Project Manager for Disney Pin Trading at the Walt Disney World® Resort. Steven's design resembles a postcard and features Mickey Mouse in a tropical outfit. When asked about his Pinbassador Inspirations, Steven replied, "For every good odyssey, it is customary to send postcard greetings to friends and family. I enjoy collecting vintage Disney postcards and sharing the "Aloha" spirit with others. In this pin, I combined those two interests as Mickey Mouse sends greetings from the happiest place on earth, the Disneyland® Resort. Hang Loose!" Pinbassador Inspirations - To Infinity and Beyond Limited Edition: 1000 - Retail $10.95 (Limit TWO (2) per Guest) This Jumbo Limited Edition pin was inspired by Steven Miller, Project Manager for Disney Pin Trading at the Walt Disney World® Resort.

Having landed on Mars in last year's pin, Mickey Mouse now journeys to the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter.
