What could be better than the smell of a freshly baked gingerbread? We always love visiting the Walt Disney World® Resorts throughout the holiday season to get a close up look at the amazing creations from the minds of the Disney chefs.

This year, there will be five pins depicting the gingerbread houses found at the Walt Disney World® Resorts and Theme Parks. In addition, the chef or pastry chef who created the original design which inspired the pin artwork will be available for an artist signing on the days of the release. The release days and artist signing times are:

November 19th - Chef Brian Piasecki - Disney's Contemporary Resort 2pm - 4pm
November 19th - Master Pastry Chef Stefan Reimer - Disney's Beach Club Resort - 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
November 23rd - Pastry Chef Keith Hiner and Pastry Chef Yoly Lazo - Disney's Boardwalk Resort - 3:00pm-4:00pm
December 11th - Chef Lothar Neumaier- American Adventure Pavilion at Epcot® - 1:00pm-3:00pm

The final release date for Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa will be available soon. Keep checking the blog for more details! For a look at all of the pins click here.

We just two pre-production samples that fall into the realm of super cool and awesome. They will be new open edition pins coming next year. The idea came from the creative mind of Julie Young, our product developer for open edition pins. Check these out - they are safety pin pins. Safety Pins

From the front, they look just like safety pins. But turn them over...

And they are just like other Disney pins, complete with a pin post and pin back.

DisneyPins.com would like to give a special birthday shout to our Vinylmation™ friends. Today, November 7, marks the first anniversary of Vinylmation™. It was on this date in 2008 (hey, that rhymes), that the Create-Your-Own blank Vinylmation™ were first introduced to the world at the Festival of the Masters.

Granted, the first collection of Vinylmation™ Pins made its debut in Summer 2008 with the release of the first mystery set. So, we have a close bond with the Vinylmation™. Lots of exciting things coming very soon to that world (and to pins).

Meanwhile, happy birthday!

Today is November 10 which means it is time for another 10th Anniversary of Disney Pin Trading moment. Last month, we had a sneak preview of Disney Pin Celebration 2010 on October 10. Today it is time to flash forward to Disney Summer Pin Festival 2010 at Disneyland® Resort. The theme of next summer's festival is Dateline: Disneyland 1955. Pin traders of all ages will return to the grand opening of the Happiest Place on Earth in 1955 with a collection of nostalgic Disney pins and items. We announced this event at Disney Pin Celebration 2009 this past June. On July 17, 2009, we gave our first sneak preview of a super cool item being created for this event.

Since that time, work has quickly progressed to the point where artwork is finished and even a pin sample or two have arrived at our headquarters. We caught up with Jeanne Lewis, product developer for this event, who shared some additional sneak previews. We also caught a glimpse of Alex Maher working on the aforementioned Reporter Mickey sculpt (with many thanks to Chris Chapman for the pictures). Let's take a look.

An early version of the Reporter Mickey sculpt. Alex reviewing the sculpt

Disney Design Group Artist Alex Maher reviews the sculpt. Close Up of Sculpt

A Closer look at the Reporter Mickey Sculpt. There will be 500 of these in full color and 55 will be done in black and white.

One of several pins featuring the dedication plaques for the various themed lands at Disneyland® Park. This one features Humphrey the Bear. Jeanne mentioned that several of the pins will feature characters from around the time when Disneyland opened. This pin has a hinged feature that opens to reveal Walt Disney's dedication for Frontierland®. Passholder Exclusive Items

Jeanne showed us a new Passholder Exclusive item for the festival - a pin and lanyard medal combination.

Jeanne was particularly excited to show this artwork for a tiered collection framed set. She explained the set was made to resemble an opening day newspaper from Disneyland® Park. The pins were designed to resemble various advertisements for the must see attractions. We are big fans of this art style and think it will be popular - it just has a great mid-century feel.

We asked Jeanne about her favorite item from the festival for next year.

"I love the time capsule," exclaimed Jeanne. "It is such a unique item. But I'm not ready to show it just yet as we are putting the finishing touches on it."

We also can't wait to see it as it sounds intriguing (we wonder what is in the time capsule??). Stay tuned as we get more details and images from this upcoming event.
