Pin #514: Disneyland 60 - Mickey Ears Prism

This is another Disneyland 60 pin that a friend got me.  It's the classic Mickey ears with Mickey and Minnie and a picture of the castle featured throughout.  And it's hard to tell in the picture, but the pin is like a prism, which I actually think is supposed to resemble the facets of a diamond because it's the diamond anniversary.  It's another good looking pin.

Pin #513: Partysaurus Rex

This pin was a surprise gift from a friend.  I had no idea she was going to get me anything and it was a wonderful surprise.  It really means a lot to me that she thought of me, and this is now one of my favorite pins.  It doesn't hurt that I love dinosaurs, too!

Pin #512: Disneyland 60 - Space Mountain

This is another pin that a friend got me from the Disneyland 60 celebration.  It's part of a series of pins featuring popular attractions and milestones.  This one features the opening of Space Mountain.  It shows Space Mountain sitting on top of a diamond.  I love Space Mountain pins!

Pin #511: Tomorrowland

This is a pin from the movie, Tomorrowland.  The movie itself was a little underwhelming, but maybe I was too excited to see it.  But the pin played a major role, so I was really excited when I had the opportunity to cash in Disney Movie Rewards points in order to get one.  Part of me wants to wear it on It's a Small World just like in the movie.

Pin #510: Disneyland 60 - Fancy Mickey

This is another Disneyland 60 pin that a friend got me.  This one features the outline of Sleeping Beauty's Castle in the background with a diamond-studded 60 and fancily dressed Mickey up front.  It's a very classy, well designed pin.  I like it.

Pin #509: Olaf Chillin'

This pin was a gift from a very good friend.  She surprised me with this one and told me that she really wanted to get me a pin that I didn't already have.  She took a shot with a Frozen pin and nailed it.  I think this pin is really cute, and it means so much more to me coming from her.

Pin #508: Disneyland 60 - Disney 'D'

This pin was released as part of Disneyland's 60th anniversary celebration.  While I haven't been able to go myself and participate in the fun, many of my friends have.  And they have been very generous with getting pins for me.  This is one of the pins they got me.  It features the classic Disney 'D' encrusted with 'diamonds' because 60 years is the diamond anniversary, and it also includes a bold, blue 60.  It is a very classy pin.

Pin #507: Austria

This pin was a gift from a coworker who took a trip to Germany and Austria.  When she told me about her trip I sort of guilt tripped her into getting me a pin while she was out there.  So she got me this one from Austria.  I like it.  It's a cool looking flag.

Pin #506: Grand Canyon Railway - Gold Train

This is another pin I bought when I rode the Grand Canyon Railway.  It's a cool pin on pin overlay with the gold train coming right at you.  It really stands out and the gold on silver is just cool.

Pin #505: Roadrunner

This is a roadrunner pin.  I don't remember exactly where I got it, but I think it might have been somewhere at or near the Grand Canyon.  I like roadrunners.  They are fun to watch.

Pin #504: Donald Duck Phillies

This is another pin my mom gave my for Christmas.  She found it somewhere.  It features my favorite baseball team, the Phillies, and Donald Duck.  As I mentioned before with my other Disney baseball pins, I love Disney, so the combination of baseball and Disney is perfect for me.

Pin #503: The White House

I went a little overboard with the pins the last time I was in Washington DC.  I bought this one because I felt like I had to get a White House pin.  This just shows the front of the house and the lawn.  It's nothing really special or different, but it is a White House pin.

Pin #502: Steampunk Mickey

This pin was a gift from a friend.  It's a steampunk Mickey and it is unlike any other pin I've ever seen.  It's really cool!  I'm not sure how else to describe it other than that, and I am thankful that my friend thought it was unique enough to get it for me.

Pin #501: Grand Canyon Rim to Rim

This is yet another pin from the Grand Canyon.  This one celebrates the rim to rim hike and features the Kaibab Suspension Bridge over the Colorado River.  You can see this bridge from a few spots along the rim.  It's cool to be able to point it out.  So I felt like I should buy the pin that featured it.

Pin #500: Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

This pin represents the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, which took the place of the 20000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine Voyage.  They are basically the same ride except now there are Finding Nemo characters projected throughout the ride.  I'm not sure how I feel about the changes.  My mom found this pin somewhere and got it for me.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the porthole is actually in 3D.  I probably wouldn't have bought this pin myself, but I still like it.

Pin #499: Arizona Cactus

This is another pin sent to camp from Arizona Tourism.  At least, I think it is.  I might have got it somewhere else.  I don't really remember.  Because I live in Arizona, I come across random Arizona pins from time to time.  This one has a saguaro cactus, which is a staple of the state.  It's a bit of a cheap looking pin, but you can still tell it's a cactus.

Pin #498: Mississippi

This is another pin that I got during camp when we had our Road Trip theme year.  Mississippi sent us some stuff to give away, including these pins.  It features the state flag and the nickname, The Magnolia State.

Pins #496-497: Wall-E and Eve

These two pins were sold as one at Disneyland.  I have seen them for a couple years now, and always wanted them, but didn't buy them until recently.  The more I've seen Wall-E, the more I fall in love with the movie and with him.  I'm convinced that he is my spirit robot.  And I think the relationship that blossoms between Wall-E and Eve throughout the movie is absolutely beautiful.  So I decided I really needed these pins, and they make me smile every time I look at them.

Pin #495: The Bluebird Cafe

This is another pin that I believe my dad got me in Nashville.  It's from the Bluebird Cafe, which I don't really know anything about.  I assume it must be significant for something.  I do like the pin, though, with the flying bluebird and the script font.  It looks cool.

Pin #494: CNN

This is a CNN pin.  The Earth behind the CNN logo moves too!  I have no idea where I got this pin, though.  I've never been to Atlanta or the CNN headquarters, and I don't remember knowing anyone who has.  I assume someone gave this to me, but it would be a pin I would buy if I saw it at CNN.
