I kept saying I wasn't going to buy more and then ended up just roaming the ship and back in the stores....and the pins were just there....so hard to resist :rolleyes:

Did you do any trading on board?
Meriweather
05-27-2008, 05:09 PM
no trading. I didn't bring any pins with me :(
but lots was being done. they had a certain time every night to meet and trade too and the CMs, of course, had their lanyards on.
one guy was getting rid of a lot of his collection and had a bag full of pins.

Nice pins! I like the Goofy painting ( I suppose the ship) the best! :)
Ordinarily when you go to WDW do you trade pins?

I have never traded pins in person :eek:
I may try it next time....Nov.
Yes, Goofy is painting the ship.
There is a decoration hanging off the real ship like that. Very cute.

I'm amazed that you have never traded pins in person! :faint: You are such a PIN PERSON! :worship:

Too shy....and it is a new found addiction, thanks to some people here :rotfl:

Honestly, you can't be any more shy than I am. Believe me. My sister and I first got into pin trading a few years ago when there was a coupon for a free pin in the Orlando magazine. The coupon was good at the World of Disney Store. So every day while on vacation, we'd take a coupon and get a free pin. I think that helped us approach CMs for trading. It also hooked us. That was the beginning of our addiction. It all happened so fast. . .:rotfl2:
And now, no turning back. :rotfl:

Well, you had your sister ;)
If I had someone to do it with me, at least to start, that would help.
I am going to give it a try in Nov.....we'll see how that goes.
That's true, I did have my sister and she was as shy about it as I was. Once you do it a couple of times, you realize how much fun it is and you just want to approach every CM you see with a lanyard. :cool1:
DH won't trade but he will point out that he "noticed" a pin I might like to trade for on a CM lanyard. When I hand him a pin and tell him he can trade it, he won't. :rotfl2:
I have a feeling by November you will be all psyched and ready to trade! :thumbsup2

I'm quite a shy person but I managed to do quite a bit of trading for the 1st time on my last visit to Disneyland Paris. If I can trade with people who don't speak English as their 1st language (the CM's at DLP are amazing at English though and I did some great trades, the CM's were so nice!) then anyone can trade!!
Meriweather

Hmmm...I could get DH to trade for me...he isn't shy!! :rolleyes:
I will give it a try.
I know I got my friend interested in trading, but that would mean I need her to go on another trip with me ;)

You pay my airfare and I'll pin trade with you in Nov.

ahem... You could let me know when you are coming and we could meet up. It would have to be on a weekend though. :wizard:
I can finally say I have been on both ends of trading -- as the CM to the guest and (mostly) as a guest trading with a CM. :banana:
:woohoo:
And I am, and always have been an introvert. That is one of the reasons you won't see me at a pin meet.
Pin trading really does help overcome shyness.

LOL...you wish ;) But if you ever make it at the same time I am there, I will be happy to trade. In the meantime, we have the DIS ;)

Awww, you are going to get to pin trade! Yeah! :mickeyjum I'm glad you will have that opportunity. You will have a blast! :flower1:

:rotfl: We'll see. Knowing me, once I get my feet wet, I will become obssessed. Maybe it isn't a good thing ;)
That's exactly what happens. At least it happened to me and to my sister! I imagine it will happen to you, too. :hyper:

Most likely............plus DH bought one pin to trade :rotfl: He is the one that will get hooked. He loves haggling ;)

DH and I are very weird traders....
if we see one we like on a CM we quickly buy a cheaper one and then trade it. :rotfl2:
Another cool thing that we can do is go to the Disney "Outlet" store and buy their pins for cheaper and then we trade those if we don't want to keep them.
Which leads me to ask....Does anybody want a cheap way to get some pins to trade? I have a store near me which is called "Disney Character Wearhouse" and they have wonderful deals on closeout Disneyland and WDW Merchandise. Because I am near Disneyland, it is mostly DL stuff. So, I can get pins for as low as $4.00 a pin. (They usually are $4, $5, and $6...and there are also JUMBO PINS from time to time) I am willing to buy some to make random packs for traders...we can work out the details.
Just trying to help those who want pins from the parks, but can't get there.:goodvibes
