Pin trading/collecting is a definite addiction (But I don't have a problem...honest!) I actually got my mom addicted to it too (maybe it's genetic...hmmm?!) and she ended up trading more than I did!

Cast members will trade pins with you so long as the pin you give them isn't one they already have on their lanyard. For example you can't offer them a Pooh pin if they already have a Pooh pin on their lanyard.

The other thing is that the color of the pin now dictates who can trade. The CM lanyards are either yellow or green (at least that's what they were last year when I went). One color is a kid only lanyard for trading and the other is for adults. Disney did this because adults were trying to trade for all the 'good pins' and the kids didn't have a chance.
