Pin of the Month - January 2022
Let's start the new year off with a firecracker of a pin, yeah?
This is a mighty interesting one. It's rare in that not many have it. Yet, you can commonly see it in the parks. It is certainly a Cast Member exclusive, yet you cannot trade for it. You can't buy it either, it must be earned. And now...I have one.
I'm speaking about the Disney Trainer pin. I have officially now become a trainer and I was told, later in January, I would be getting training shifts. It's a rather exciting time for me and I wanted to share that with everyone here. It is a privilege and an honor that I will carry with me throughout my life.
Sidenote: I love that it's Jiminy Cricket on the Trainer pin. For one, the song he sings, "When You Wish Upon a Star", is widely considered to be the theme song of the Walt Disney Company. Also, in the movie, Jiminy is conscripted to be Pinocchio's conscience by the Blue Fairy, a parallel to us being the moral and teaching guide to brand new Cast Members.
