Favorite Cast Lanyard / Hidden Mickey / Hidden Disney Sub-Series?

[hopemax]

There is far too much chatter about Disneyland Ds and Castles, so let's skip those for this question.

My favorites are pretty old.

DLR - The 2 sets of Alice in Wonderland Pocketwatches (Cast Lanyard Series IV and Hidden Mickey 2007). Although my 2007 pins are all fakes/ 🙁

This is a hard one. I love hidden mickeys.

My favorite is the Minnie headbands. They are all good, though I think I like 2025 over 2026.
Also the color story series!

Color story for me!
I love the refined simplicity of them, & all the different ways they can be displayed (a single pop of pure bright color on a character board, grouping characters who are otherwise wouldn't be associated by color alone, or picking a specific set of colors for a theme).

I also have a soft spot for the cupcake pins (I like food-themed pins in general); though I don't think all of them hit the balance between 'character themed' & 'still recognizable as a cupcake'.

I think the fear of scrappers kind of turned me away from the hidden mickeys for a long time, but looking at some of the genuine ones and how pretty they are makes me wish I'd completed some sets. The Haunted Mansion, and the Disney Dog Bones are faves.
