Is pin trading still a thing in DL. I know it’s pretty common at WDW. Wasn’t sure if I should bring mine.
TIA
I wanted to experience pin trading my first time last time I went since it wasn't a thing when I went so long ago. I got some ones to trade before I left (from a friend who goes all the time). I saw pins on boards to trade at all the shops, but none had anything I was interested in. I didn't see any CMs or Characters with lanyards or pins. I was a bit disappointed honestly... but I was going to give it another shot since out last trip was too hectic and might have missed them. I did end up buying some great ones while I was there just to collect (as well as some over the web since I have been back)
That being said. A lot of people wear lanyards with pins I am not sure if people trade with other visitors.. not sure if that is thing?
I vaguely remember people used to talk about a group of pin traders that got together over by Goofy's Sky School on a certain day of the week...does anyone know if that is still the case? We are pretty serious pin traders who will be visiting DL in May and are trying to decide if it's worth it to bring any of our WDW exclusive pins to trade for DL exclusives. We're not interested in CM board or lanyard trading. Thanks!
This is great info, thanks! We will have one or two non-Disney days so I would like to plan around the days there are pin traders.They actually meet outside at the picnic area now. Sundays there. Not sure where they meet Thursdays, which is the day that new pins come out.
