the pin on his tie

[steviej]

In a lot of photos, Walt had a pin on his tie? Does anyone know what it says or represents?

It's an overlay of S, T and R for Smoke Tree Ranch of Palm Springs.

Is that where he grew up or something?

I don't know if this is relevant, however, the statue "Partners" is of Walt and Mickey holding hands, and the sculptor included a pin on Walt's tie with: "The initials on Walt’s tie are “STR,” and stand for “Smoke Tree Ranch,” an area in Palm Springs where Walt once owned a vacation home."

No, it's where he had his second homes. He sold the first to finance Disneyland.
