香港迪士尼徽章故事：首枚香港徽章交換徽章（第1期；2011年8月）

搜集就是為了分享，這一直是徽章交換的規律。徽章交換不只意指徽章交換過程，還道出交換及收藏家所付予徽章意義。當某些徽章面世時，其創造者就已經把意義付諸於徽章上，這就是徽章背後的故事。

To collect is to share, this has always been the truth of pin trading. Pin Trading has not only explaining the acts of pin trading, also referring to the meaning given by the acts and the collectors themselves. When some of the pins were first released, specific meanings were added onto them, and that’s the story behind the pins.

本報將在今後每一月份分享一枚具特別意義的香港迪士尼徽章，籍此分享該徽章背後的故事。既然是第一篇故事，最好不過介紹第一枚香港徽章交換徽章（Pin Trading Pin / PTP）。

Starting from this month, there will be a monthly blogging about a very special or meaningful Hong Kong Disney pin. As the first blogging, the Gazette presents you the first Hong Kong Pin Trading Pin (a.k.a. PTP).

在此之前先作簡單解述，本報所指香港迪士尼徽章不僅局限來自香港迪士尼樂園自身的徽章，而是泛指有關香港迪士尼樂園的徽章其他香港迪士尼徽章的出處。除了有為人熟悉的華特迪士尼幻想工程外，還有迪士尼樂園、華特迪士尼世界、華特迪士尼公司、Disney Store、D23 Expo等等。

In here, “Hong Kong Disney Pins” is referring to the Disney pins from all over the world which are related to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. The origins of Hong Kong Disney Pins are including Walt Disney Imagineering, Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, Walt Disney Company, Disney Store, D23 Expo, etc.
 

為了慶祝 www.officialdisneypintrading.com（即disneypins.com）成立，迪士尼樂園於2002年8月至10月推出一系列7款、每款限量500枚的徽章交換徽章，而事前並沒有預先通知各徽章的款式及推出日期。

To celebrate the launch of www.officialdisneypintrading.com (a.k.a. disneypins.com), a series of 7 pin trading pins were released (Surprise Release) at Disneyland Resort from August to October 2002. Each of the pin is limited edition of 500.
 

在2002年10月31日推出的第6款徽章正正是一枚有關香港迪士尼樂園的徽章交換徽章。其實整個系列的徽章是喻意徽章交換將傳遞到世界每一角落，而系列中的徽章則列出供徽章出售的地點及途徑，包括（順該系列徽章推出次序）迪士尼樂園、巴黎迪士尼樂園、華特迪士尼世界、Disney Catalog – Disneystore.com、Disney Cruise Line、香港迪士尼樂園及Disney Auction。

On October 31, 2002, the park released the 6^th pin of the series, which is the very first pin trading pin of Hong Kong Disneyland. The idea behind the series is to declare Disney Pin Trading will be available around the world, and the each of pin listed the place where guests could purchase Disney pins, which are (in the order of the pin release date) Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World ® Resort, Disney Catalog – Disneystore.com, Disney Cruise Line, Hong Kong Disneyland and Disney Auction.
 

系列中的徽章均是Dangle（吊著某些東西的）徽章，以 Pin Trading Around The World的標誌吊著有關徽章出售的地點標誌。其中，第1款至5款徽章的吊牌均為橢圓形，第6款及第7款則為不規則形狀。

The pins in the series are all dangle pin, which the logo of places hanging below the Pin Trading Around The World logo. The dangle of the 1^st to 5^th pin are in oval shape, whereas the 6^th and 7^th are in irregular shape.

當時，香港迪士尼樂園度假區尚未動工，所以上述徽章的吊牌中在度假區標誌下加上「哈囉」的廣東話字眼，意味著香港迪士尼樂園將會參與令迪士尼迷為之瘋狂的徽章交換活動。

At that time, the construction of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort hasn’t started yet. A pair of Cantonese word “哈囉” (literally means Hello) were added beneath the Hong Kong Disneyland logo, which is implying Disney’s Pin Trading will be available when the park is officially opened.
