DLP pin trading?

[brimel2527]

We're going to Paris for 8 days next month (I know, real bummer!), and I was wondering what the pin trading situation at DLP is like. Is it similar to WDW, or handled differently? Any info would be a big help.

Thanks,
Steve

There are a lot of CM's with lanyards but the have a lot of the same pins. It can be a lot of fun and a great way to talk to people. French traders meet up on the centre hub at the end of main street at the weekend. There is also a trading board at times during the day but you will need to ask about it when you get there as times vary.
Have fun

Thanks for the tips. We just made our plans as well for DLPR. Any particular time the French traders meet at the hub?

There are usually some there between opening and mid afternoon.

Daber - when are you going?

We will be there 8/11 and 8/12. Decided not to bring the pin bags, so if you see someone with a WDW pin vest loaded down, that's me.

We will miss you by a week.

Another question.....what do the DLPR traders like to collect?
I know if I was going to Japan to bring plenty of Chip and Dales, but what should I put on my vest?

Stitch and Tink are always popular.
