Description

Please remember that as a seller, my sales costs also include packaging tape, printer ink, printer paper, shipping supplies, sales tracking and auction listing tools, not to mention the 10-14% that eBay and Paypal take off the top for fees and commissions. All of these costs are included in what you are paying.
Our images are made using a scanner at very high resolution, exposing many minor flaws that are NOT visible to the human eye. On rare occasions, especially with pins that have gold and silver which may not scan well, I will use actual photographs.
Florida residents are subject to 6.5% sales tax.
Description: Those familiar with Adventure By Disney tours know that they are A.) Fabulously expensive, and B.) a great source for Disney pins as each day of a given tour, a different pin is given to the participants. Pins sometimes stay the same for a few years and they often change as itineraries change, are eliminated, or new ones added.
*** It's actually taken me several years to track down this pin and I have over 1000 Adventures By Disney pins, it's definitely one of the tough ones.
This is a Adventures by Disney pin. The tour is Ecuador - Treasures of the Galapagos. The 9 days/8 nights adventure visits Quito, Otavalo Valley & Galapagos Islands. This pin has Tinker Bell on the left, facing right, looking down at the earth. The wording on the pin is MIDDLE (across the top) and OF THE EARTH (across the bottom). The reverse has the Adventures By Disney logo, plus "© DISNEY, CHINA." Gold-color metal, waffle back, Mickey pinback, single post with double nubs.
*** Please note that I endeavor to purchase directly from individuals who have taken these trips, often buying full sets on lanyards. Even Adventures By Disney Pins have been hit by the scrapper phenomenon, though this particular pin has not been among those I have seen scrapped. It should also be noted that unless you purchase an entire set on a lanyard, it can be much harder to identify the actual itinerary a pin has come from as they are not identified in any manner other than an Adventures By Disney backstamp.
