What led me to this forum was a desire to expand my collection of pins giving tribue to the films and attractions based on Jules Verne, but only the ones with Disney characters... Yes, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but there is more. In Disneyland Paris there is Space Mountain, which was originally inspired by Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and the Orbitron. And then in Tokyo there is the Mysterious Island port of Disneysea, with rides based on 20K and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Unfortunately I have yet to see any In Search of the Castaways pins, but hope springs eternal! ^_~
I actually have two pin collections. The one on the right is my "memento collection", featuring the Disneyland 50th anniv ersary logo, the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society, Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour, Adventures by Disney's Lights... Camera... Magic! Tour, and the Walt Disney Studios. These are the souvenirs of places gone and tours taken...
On the left is my Verne collection thus far. Here is a closer look...
Top row (with a tonne of glare) has Space Mountain: Mission 2 with Donald and the Astro-Orbitor/Orbiter/Orbitron with Stitch, second row has two Mysterious Island pins with Donald, and row three has Tokyo's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Minnie, Journey to the Center of the Earth with Mickey, and Nautilus Gifts also with Mickey (and I laughed when I bought that one, because it was the first pin I had ever seen for a gift shop).
I've got a couple on the way as well... A set I'm trying to complete is Mickey and co. as characters from 20,000 Leagues. Mickey as Captain Nemo and Goofy as Arronax are on the way, but I won't post photos again until I have that whole set. I'm on the lookout for the remainder, as well as the Walt Disney World 20,000 Leagues attraction memorial pin with Ursula and Goofy on the Astro-Orbitor/er/ron. Those last two are probably my grails right now, if anyone can take a look at my PinPics traders and lend a hand.
And I'm sure that those of you with 10,000 pins are chuckling at my 12 right now ^_~
