Disney Releases the New 2026 Wave A Hidden Mickey Pins
If you have been waiting for the new 2026 Hidden Mickey Mystery Pin packs to come to Disney Parks, today is your day! Here are all the details.
Disney Pin Trading
Disney pin trading has been a relatively popular hobby since its beginning more than 25 years ago. However, the hobby has exploded in popularity in the past few years, and pin trading is having a huge moment right now.
Perhaps this explosion is in part due to popular Disney pin content creators on social media. Disney's reintroduction of pin trading with Cast Members could also have contributed to the hobby's popularity.
Pin trading has become so popular that Disney has had to tighten up on restrictions for traders, especially those attending Pin-Tastic Tuesdays for limited edition pins. You can read all about Pin Drops HERE.
2026 Hidden Mickey Wave A Bags
One of the most popular series of pins is the "Hidden Disney", also known as the "Hidden Mickey" series. Each year, a new wave of mystery pins, and sometimes 2 waves, hit(s) the parks.
These pins start as Cast Member exclusives that can only be found on trading boards and Cast lanyards. But, eventually, Disney releases mystery bags for purchase. These bags might even contain rare Chaser pins that are only avaliable in the bags (unless a guest leaves one on a baord).
If you have been on the lookout for the 2026 wave A bags, we have news for you. The 2026 Wave A mystery bags dropped today at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Will The 2026 Wave A Pins Sell Out
Yes, it is possible that the 2026 Wave A Hidden Mickey pins will "sell out," but only temporarily from time to time. The demand is usually high for the first few weeks following their release, and it can lead to periods of time where they are out of stock.
Disney will restock the 2026 Wave A pins
But fear not! Disney will restock the 2026 Wave A pins. They are Open Edition pins, and it is likely they will stick around well into 2027. After all, the 2025 Wave A and Wave B bags are still for sale in parks.
There is no need for alarm. More importantly, there is no need to give in to the wild world of the resale market at this time, while the "new" factor drives prices sky high. Patience will be rewarded with more reasonable pricing as the market stabilizes. And, you might just find well-stocked shelves at retail pricing during your visit in the coming months. With any luck, pin droughts won't impact your visit. May the boards be ever in your favor.
