Hello , never posted on this board but have a friend going to Disney in about 10 days and is wondering WHO you trade pins with ? Is it anyone you see or just cast and characters ? Thanks Michelle

Hi, Michelle

The characters don't trade pins (although Dom13 may say differently ;) ) but the Cast Members do, and you can certainly trade pins with other guests.

This board is certainly a great place to get answers to any questions. Check out the Pin Trading Etiquette 101 area on the DIS and the Collectors Board FAQ for an overview of the pin trading rules at WDW. Links to both are in my signature below.

Hope your friend has fun in WDW!

Oh, absolutely!!!

The kids have a blast!! We have our kids there, and there are kids on vacation, other traders' kids - it's great fun! They have a great snack bar, and an arcade, and a place to watch TV and animated Disney movies. It's a great place for "Newbies" andlearningabout trading. There are lots of nice people to help out and show you the ropes!!

That is so cool to know. I've accumulated a bunch of pins from my trips, but have never traded nor considered myself a collector. I'm beginning to see how much fun it could be. We'll be down in June, so maybe I can convince DH to pin trade with me.
