    I had the rudest experience trading with a CM

    Thanks for the advice and info Kathie. I believe a "stressful situation" is exactly what we witnessed in the AKP one afternoon on our last visit. A little girl was crying, and her mom was steaming mad and accusing a cm of something. A man came over in a dark blue blazer with a thing in his ear...

    Pin Storage

    Thank you for the reply. Is there a specific "Disney" site on eBay? I would love to purchase something like this (real park item). I do not mean to be rude, but was it expensive? Your pin-trading advice is great. I need to buy some cheap Disney pins (I also try to stay between the $2-3 price...

    Most Beautiful Theme Park?

    That may be the name, I do not recall. It looked like a lot of fun! :banana: :yay: Are these places affordable (how much on average to participate, etc?). We may plan another trip down to BG, and will make time to stop at the race track if it's not too costly. The last time we stopped at a...

    Most Beautiful Theme Park?

    CHINA COAST!! That's it! It was near the old Costco store, on Kirkman I believe. It was a great place to eat, and those rolls were "to die for" (the best reason to visit). :thumbsup2 I have heard about the R. Petty racing, but it's a bit pricey for us (more than $200 and up PP). :confused3...

    New finger scans at Disney

    Like Kidsister wrote--anyone who really wants to sneak into Disney can find a way! You would be surprised at the lengths some people will go to to save the cost of entrance. I've heard of them actually "hiding" in the park overnight, to have an extra free-day. :confused3 Think of all the...

    New DCL ship for the west coast

    The Magic would only be used for the Southern itinerary, as I too understand only certain ships can withstand the cold of the north (especially the hull of the craft). There are enough cruises for the Alaskan interest, and more folks are interested in the "warmer" locations included in the...

    Pin Storage

    That is beautiful! Thanks for the great idea. Where did you get the banner, was it for sale online? I would LOVE to have a Tink banner for DD to display her pins too. Your DD has a big collection. We are just beginning, and have about 77 pins (last count). That has taken some time to acquire--so...

    Am I the only one?

    This topic caught my eye too. We got into trading for the kids---but it soon became a fun sport for both DH and myself (more me than he). I take it the "sharks" are serious collectors? We have run across a couple of these in the parks as well as DTD. One cornered DD and wanted to trade for one...

    I had the rudest experience trading with a CM

    HayGan -- Yes, we encountered a rude cm in the park (AK). She refused to trade with DD initially, as the pin said "made in China" on the back. I am really NEW to this pin-trading thing, and had no idea about the rules of the game. I have read all the posts on here to catch-up, and am getting...

    Do you have a "theme" to your pin collection?

    We are newbies, and do not buy that many (set a $ limit). But, we have been buying what we like, same with trading. We also are running into some difficulty with the pins. They make a lot of them in "sets or series" such as princess, and keyhole, etc. We are beginning to feel the "need" to...

    New DCL ship for the west coast

    I heard they intend to send the MAGIC to Disneyland, and keep the new ship along with the Wonder in PC. This makes the most sense, as Disneyland is their flagship park (first) and the Magic is the same for their cruiseline. They are going to build a new terminal, etc., just for this ship. The...

    New finger scans at Disney

    The current method of biometrics worked great for us! They apparently did away with the old "photo" id's after people decided to "share" passes with family members and friends. The new person would simply cut open the sleeve to the pass, and slip in a new photo--then seal the ends. Since they...

    Details of Royal Bedchamber in Cinderella Castle

    That pretty much describes the interior of the dining room in the castle--minus the video-games and the internet! I have always loved the inside of the castle (stone and french styling, with wood beams and coffered ceilings). I think it will look similar to that, and also be very plush and...

    Most Beautiful Theme Park?

    Thanks again, Chris (For taking the time to answer all my questions). I am sad to read all these places have now closed. :confused3 Does Disney have this much of an impact on area sights? Incredible. It's like a super walmart moving into an area (all the retailers cringe and know it's a death...

    Is anyone annoyed about Disney's vacation club building?

    20K!? Is that for a Disney Cruise? How many people? :confused3 As for the other quote by Yoho, is that price per person? What Catagory onboard? That is an amazing price for a 4-day cruise on any ship. Where and how do you go about finding such a low price (can you provide us a link to this...

    Most Beautiful Theme Park?

    Thanks for all the added information! You certainly do know a lot about the area and history. We would not be up for driving all the way north to VA, but will visit BG again! Now, as for small parks. We saw something on the travel channel about a Chinese garden (maybe it was Japanese)...

    The NEW Contemporary Resort with DVC?!?

    Thanks for the link and info. I am so happy to know I can actually buy points this way, and try the DVC before buying (or considering this). I checked this stuff out again before coming back here, and figured the price to be about the same as the rooms (at the WDW properties, etc). Yet, the...

    Most Beautiful Theme Park?

    Hi Chris, You certainly are a walking book on this stuff! :thumbsup2 Who is HBJ? I know it's not Walt, but believe it has something to do with "Busch" (the B in there). What is "Boardwalk and baseball?" It sounds like fun! Is this park still operating in Florida? How far is the Williamsburg...

    Are they real pins

    Thanks for the wonderful advice. I will check out the dizpins.com board. I have some I am looking at on Ebay. Is it okay if I post the auction number on this forum, and perhaps you can tell me if they are really authentic, and worth the investment? This would be priceless to me. I would hate to...

    Pin Trading Newbie....A few questions

    WOW! I can not believe I have a princess, and never even heard about this boutique!? :confused3 Where in DTD is it located? Is it near the Rainforest side, or the other side? I can not believe this is the first time I've ever heard of it (a real newbie). :blush: Can you possibly explain the...
