Pixie’s Pin Path

At the TTC, as guests receive a wristband for purchase of the Limited Edition pins, they will also receive a Magic Kingdom® Park Pixie’s Pin Path (also referred to as a scroll). The scroll will lead them in the footsteps of a playful pixie on her journey through the wonders of the Magic Kingdom® . Each of the open edition pins has a location on which they can be placed to complete the scroll. Once completed, the scroll can be framed ($130.00) as a memory of their journey throughout our park.

Scrolls will provide trivia questions about 7 locations throughout the park that sell the above listed open edition pins. Guests may answer a question or trade a pin with a cast member in the designated locations to receive a stamp on their Scroll. Once all of the stamps have been collected, the guest can then take their completed Pixie’s Pin Path Scroll to Mickey’s Star Traders in Tomorrowland to receive their complimentary Tinker Bell pin.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
My daughter and I are going to the pin event for her 11 birthday. At the last pin events they gave out the vouchers, or wrist bands now, at the gates, before you payed for parking. Do you know if they are doing that this time? I need to know if I need a car. I am staying at the Poly., so I could walk to the TTC.

Where is Exposition Hall?

From the information provided, the wristbands vouchers will not be given out at the parking gates, but at the TTC so a car wouldn't be necessary if you are staying at the Poly

Thanks Holycow.

Well, I'm not giving up my rental car just yet. I remember for the Animal Kingdom event it was going to be in the plaza and then, at the last minute, it was changed to the entry booths where you did need a vehicle.

Can anyone tell me where I can get up-to-the-minute information on how the event is being handled the night before just in case there are changes? I'll be staying at Disney World and won't have access to a computer so I won't be able to check here for any changes.
