DVC 35th Anniversary Pin: Where to Find It Before It’s Gone

Disney Vacation Club is turning 35, and there’s a pin to prove it. The new DVC 35th anniversary pin is on sale now at select DVC resort gift shops, and it’s a limited release sold in person only.

No online option. No shipping. If you want one, you need to be standing in a DVC resort merchandise location while supplies last.

Here’s what the pin looks like, every location carrying it, and how to actually get one before they’re gone.

Quick Summary

• The DVC 35th anniversary pin is on sale now at select DVC resort gift shops
• The design is a bronze compass style reading “Ears to 35 Years” with the DVC logo
• A raised Mickey silhouette sits inside the “35” for a sculpted, dimensional look
• It’s a limited release, sold in person only, while supplies last
• Available at 11 Walt Disney World locations, 2 beach resorts, and 2 Disneyland Resort locations

What the Pin Looks Like

The pin features a bronze compass-style design with “Ears to 35 Years” and the Disney Vacation Club logo.

A raised Mickey silhouette sits inside the “35,” giving the pin a dimensional, sculpted look.

The compass motif is a smart choice for DVC. The compass has shown up across DVC branding and resort theming for years, and a bronze finish reads more like a commemorative medallion than a standard enamel trading pin.

The raised Mickey inside the numeral is the detail that elevates it. Flat enamel pins are what you get at every gift shop on property. Sculpted, dimensional elements cost more to produce and signal that this was made as a keepsake rather than a trading piece.

This Is a Limited Release, In Person Only

This DVC 35th anniversary pin is a limited release. It’s only sold in person at DVC resort merchandise locations, so if you want one, plan a stop during your next stay.

That’s the whole catch, and it’s worth being direct about what it means:

• There is no online purchase option. You cannot order this and have it shipped.
• You need to physically visit one of the listed locations.
• Supplies are limited, and anniversary pins historically move fast.
• Availability varies by location. A shop selling out doesn’t mean every shop has.

Where to Find the DVC 35th Anniversary Pin

How to Actually Get One

A few practical notes if this is on your list:

• Go early in your trip, not late. The most common way people miss limited pins is planning to grab it on the last day. Stock does not wait.
• Check more than one location. Monorail resorts are the easiest to hit in sequence — Bayview Gifts at the Contemporary, BouTiki at the Polynesian, and M. Mouse Mercantile at the Grand Floridian are all one monorail loop apart.
• Disney Springs-area resorts cluster well too. Conch Flats at Old Key West and The Artist’s Palette at Saratoga Springs are close to each other.
• Ask a Cast Member if you don’t see it. Pins are sometimes behind the counter or in a display case rather than on the open floor.
• Note the Johari Treasures caveat. That shop at Kidani Village has a temporary closure scheduled later this summer, so time your visit accordingly.

You Don’t Need to Be a Member

Worth clarifying since the pin is DVC-branded and sold at DVC resorts: these are open merchandise locations. Anyone can walk into Bayview Gifts or The Artist’s Palette and buy one.

You do not need a Membership card, a resort reservation, or a DVC stay to purchase the pin. You just need to get to the shop.

Why 35 Years Matters

Disney Vacation Club launched in 1991 with Disney’s Old Key West Resort — then called Disney’s Vacation Club Resort — as its only property.

Thirty-five years later, DVC spans more than a dozen resorts across Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Hilton Head Island, Vero Beach, Hawaii, and the newest additions still coming online. It reshaped how a huge share of Disney regulars vacation.

An anniversary pin is a small marker for that, but it’s the kind of thing Members hold onto.

The Bottom Line

The DVC 35th anniversary pin is available now at 15 DVC resort merchandise locations across Walt Disney World, Hilton Head, Vero Beach, and Disneyland Resort, featuring a bronze compass design with “Ears to 35 Years” and a sculpted Mickey inside the numeral.

It’s a limited release with no online option, so build a stop into your next trip and go early rather than late. Monorail resort hopping is the most efficient way to check multiple locations in one afternoon.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
