Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

My first thought on pin trading was that it was sort of lame and distracts from the cool rides...

Then I traded a pin that I could only get from cast member...

Then I was hooked... That easy...

I love it! My kids have a lot of fun doing it during some of the line time at DL and it also helps make some of the across the park walks a little more fun. We buy pins off Ebay so that it isn't very expensive at all for the amount of fun we have.

I mainly focus on trading for the cast member only pins, which adds to the challenge and satisfaction of getting the pins I am looking for!

The Goof Father x Disney Pin Trading Nerd =

Pin trading is now part of my Disney experience... PERIOD!

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

I love disney pin trading!! I try and take like 100 to 150 pins to trade, so does my sister and father we love them!!! We put our special pins in a picture frame. First we deck out the frame with some sort of theme with paper or what have you and them put the pins in it and put it on our walls!!

We love Pins!!!!!!!!!!

While I don't trade, I think it is such a great thing for people to do! I'm sure at some point I'll get sucked into it all and won't be able to stop!

All it takes is a few pins and a willingness to try. I stood behind DH the first few times he did it.....didn't think it would ever be "my kinda thing".....and then before I knew it, I was marching up there ahead of DH and scouring lanyards!

I predict you'll get hooked on it sometime early next year.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

I've been addicted for years, and don't plan on stopping any time soon, lol. It has it's peaks and valleys but I still trade more over the net than I do live, though it was closer once upon a time. That was a couple of thousand pins ago, though, lmbo.
