Pin #68: Star Tours - Rex

Another Star Tours pin, this one released in the late 90s and featuring the pilot, Rex.  I used to have his whole script memorized and would quote it word for word whenever I rode the ride.  I got a lot of funny looks when I did that.  And, in case you didn't know, Rex was voiced by Pee Wee Herman himself, Paul Reubens.  I just had to buy this pin when I saw it because I'm such a huge fan.

Pin #67: The Sword in the Stone

Another pin from the Magical Musical Moments series released in 2002.  This one features Arthur and Merlin from The Sword in the Stone and celebrates the song Higitus Figitus.  It's kind of cool.  I think The Sword in the Stone is an oft-forgotten Disney movie, but it really is good.  I'm pretty sure this pin was a gift from someone because I certainly don't remember buying it.  Writing this post makes me want to watch the movie, though.

Pin #66: Star Tours

This is a classic Star Tours pin that I got after the ride opened in 1987.  I remember going to Disneyland not long after the ride opened and riding it for the first time.  I am a huge Star Wars fan, and especially loved everything Star Wars as a kid, so when my family went to Disneyland that day, it was because Star Tours had opened.  The other stuff helped, too, but it was mainly Star Tours.  I don't specifically remember buying this pin, but I know it was released that year.

Pin #65: Clonetrooper

This is a Clonetrooper pin from the Star Wars prequels.  I think it might have come with one of the movies or a poster I bought.  I'm not exactly sure.  I don't recall buying it on its own, but, again, I'm not really sure.  I just know that it's cool looking.  Although, I'm a little biased because I'm a huge Star Wars fan.

Post #64: Victoria, Canada

This pin is from Victoria, Canada, obviously.  It was a gift considering I've never been to Canada.  It's a very simple pin with the Canadian flag sitting above the city name.  While it doesn't stand out, I like the simplicity.

Pin #63: Yosemite

This is a Yosemite National Park pin from 2002.  It was a gift, I think from my parents when they visited Yosemite.  I've never been, so I know I didn't buy it.  It's a cool looking pin, and the bear moves across the face.  One day I'll have to actually make it to Yosemite and buy a pin myself.

Pin #62: LA Dodgers World Championships

This was a Dodgers giveaway pin from the mid-80s.  It celebrates the World Series Championships the Dodgers have won since moving to LA.  I don't know the exact year this pin was handed out, but I know it was before 1988 because that championship isn't listed on here.  I have quite a few Dodgers giveaway pins, so you'll see plenty more during the course of this blog.
