Pin sale!

Disney Direct is having their pin sale with up to 50% off pins.

http://disney.store.go.com/

I got the villians (all) and the mickey county fair one. They were a steal at $7.99. I also used the coupon code NEWYEAR2005 and was able to get another 10% making them $7.19 a set.

Re: Pin sale!

On the pins? They were all in stock when I looked. They really sold fast. Sorry you couldn't get what you wanted.

Re: Pin sale!

Some of the prices are really good. Are these pins that can be traded in the parks? We are really new to the whole pin trading thing and don't know much about it. Ok, I know it is costly--so I know something about it.

Re: Pin sale!

My DS started trading pins last summer and really had fun with it. The problem is, he can't part with a pin once he trades for it. Do some of you say that's it for now--trade what you have or do you just keep buying more?

You can trade any pins in the parks.

These pins looked really nice, that's why I asked if these we trading pins or collecting pins. (Is there a difference?) I would hate to go to WDW and trade more valuable pins for cheaper pins and look like a stooge.

Re: Pin sale!

We stocked up today for our upcoming trips. You really can't beat these prices, especially when they come in sets of 6-7 for $14.99. We bought duplicates...figure we're buying them for the fun of trading, not to buy something special. We'll get the good stuff when we go to WDW!

The cm's have never turned my DD away. They trade with the kids for fun. These are the only people I let my DD trade with. The ones with the green lanyards trade only with children...they rock. If you are trading with another guest, these rules may come into play, but the cm's don't really care what they trade with the kids. Sara has a pin book that I bought her in January for the pins she doens't want to trade. I buy the cheapest pins for trading and she just goes from CM to CM trading her heart out until she finds one that she likes. She has a couple of series that she completed last trip. Her favorite trades are the "mystery pins" that the CM turn backwards. She loves the surprise to see what she will get.

I didn't understand your question right about the trading..sorry. I have never looked at it that way about trading for a cheaper pin. I let DD run with it. If I am getting 2 pins for $7.19, I really don't care what she does with them. That's two trades for $7.19. It keeps her happy and she loves the CM interaction. I pay $6.50 a peice in the parks, so this is a steal for me..lol

Re: Pin sale!

Dana is right. CMs have to trade with anyone as long as its a Disney pin and the green lanyard is only for kids

Re: Pin sale!

also try e-bay for pins :D Usually typing in 'Winnie the Pooh Pins' or 'Donald Pins' will get you better prices than 'Walt Disney World Pins'.........just a hint ;)

Re: Pin sale!

We bought several of the silly sypmhonies pins. 7 pins for $14.99 per set, then the additional 10% off and NO SHIPPING made it too good to pass up!!!

Disney Store pins are VERY good quality, and we've never had a problem trading them in the past.
