Vintage Disney TokiDoki bag?
Hi brains trust,
I found this Disney bag in a thrift store the other day, and I am loving using it, but other than Google Lens identifying it as Tokidoki, there is nada on the internet about this bag or its history! Nothing! Can anyone help me out and tell me what year it is from or anything about it? 🙏
EDITED TO ADD: I just went down a rabbit hole of internet forums from 2008. Turns out that the Disney parks made their own “Tokidoki inspired” version of a Tokidoki bag. It was sold at Disneyland California in 2008. They advertised it as a “Mickey Doki”. So while it is not a genuine Tokidoki bag, it is a genuine Disney merchandise item. Can’t believe Disney got away with making such a blatant copy! Some of the forums actually mention there being a brief legal battle over this between the Tokidoki and Disney companies and Disney pulling the item from shelves eventually, so there you go.

Surely there are real versions out there of commonly faked pins?! Noughties pins 2007-9
Please can someone tell me if any of these are fake? I know these *designs* have all been faked, but surely real versions exist out there somewhere?
In particular, the middle pin has a very clear stamp on back and looks very good quality. None of them have typos in the wording and the writing is legible on all of them, my photo is just not very good.
These pins range 2007 to 2009. I got them from a person who was trading at that exact timeframe in the parks.
Thoughts?

I was just on the Disney Adventure cruise last week and I was super excited to do my first ever pin trade. Leading up to the cruise I did tons of research and learn all about the rules, the way you can do two trades per board, the fact that there are fake pins and so on. Despite all the stuff online urging people to buy fake pins, I feel very strongly that people should NOT be using fake pins, so I made sure to come with only genuine Disney pins, and a few that were Loungefly (Americans would refer to these pins as loungefly or box lunch). My Loungefly pins were of characters and had “copyright Disney” on the back. I am from Australia so it’s actually really hard to find pins at all, but I still made sure to get together genuine Disney (even if a few were Loungefly).
I did several trades at different shops and it was fine until one castmember in World of Disney suddenly refused to let me trade a Loungefly pin. I showed her that it was a Stitch pin and I told her had Copyright Disney on the back but she said something like “no, it has to have the Mickey heads on the back like this,“ and pointed to one of the other pins on the board.
I am new to pin trading so I didn’t want to make a fuss and I just didn’t argue and swapped another pin instead, but thinking about it now it does bother me. Especially when the boards were full of fake pins anyway, as you can see from the attached photo which I took inside the Duffy and friends shop (I think just ONE pin on there is genuine, which is the prin pastries pin). I am literally putting a pin on the board that is genuine copyright Disney, and yet you reject it….but you will accept fake pins?!
I traded a Loungefly pin in one of the other shops with different staff and it was fine and no one else said anything. In fact, the lady in the other shop complimented my Loungefly pin?!
What do you think?
What are the actual trading rules? I am new to this so I don’t know who was in the wrong here….?
Does Disney need to do some more training about pin trading for castmembers? is this happening because this cruise ship is super new (for anyone that doesn’t know, the ship only first sailed 10th of March 2026)
