Nooo. now I'll be outbid for sure :( I was hoping it would fly under
the radar.
It's the second I've seen on ebay so it is probably a DEC giveaway.

You should remember that DEC rented Disneyland for a private party at
one of the last DECUS meetings in Anaheim I recall. So a bit of swag
like this would be in line with something they would have thought
nothing of doing.
The attendance @ Disneyland for that meeting for the private party was
under 3000, one of the times that I got to go and feel it was my place
alone. We rarely saw anyone but cast members the entire night.
Apple's private party during NCC one year drew 30000 and was quite empty
too. Got to go to both.
