PARTNERS
STATUE
Edition 1971
The Story of the Significance Between the Partners Statue & Year 1971
Edition 1971
The year 1971 is arguably one of the most significant years in The Walt Disney Company's history, which is marked by the opening of the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida on October 1st 1971.
When combined with one of the most highly sought-after digital collectibles, the Partners Statue, this creates a truly magical piece.
So, what is the Partners Statue? This iconic statue of Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse was built back in 1993, and was installed at Disneyland in California, while the digitalized version was dropped on the VeVe platform on November 12th 2021, as part of their Golden Moments collection, marking this a landmark day in the digital collecting space.
The Collector Story
The Walt Disney and Mickey Partners statue represents more than just a collectible for me—it embodies the journey of discovery, the power of meaning behind a mint, and the future of how collectors connect. As a dedicated mint hunter, I spent months searching across multiple platforms to find this piece tied specifically to Disney World’s history.
Securing the Disney World year mint turned this into a true grail. It’s not just about owning something rare—it’s about owning something that tells a story. That mint represents a moment in time, and through patience and persistence, I was able to lock in a piece that connects directly to one of the most iconic locations in the world.
This is exactly why I’m building Collect N Connect. Collecting shouldn’t just live in apps or on shelves—it should connect to real-world places, experiences, and other collectors. One day, I’ll stand in front of the actual Partners statue at Disney World, and place my Partners statue next to the physical one, knowing I hold the only mint tied to that year. That’s not just ownership—that’s a true 1-of-1 experience. Collect N Connect is about making moments like that visible and shareable—where your collection isn’t just something you own, it’s something that connects you to the world and the people in it.
