They're literally all over the place. You can find pins in all of the souvenir shops and at most of the kiosks around as well. There's even a pin store set up at Disney Springs.
How often do the cast memeber sets of pins change? And are there pins themed to certain attractions or the resort hotels? Is there anyway of telling if a particular pin is more rare than another, like an app or something?
I looked up this years sets and I super want to collect the Disney Villian Ties. Even though they were 2015 wave A and came out in April, how hard will it be to find those pins? I mean even eight months out will it be hard to find them or can you normally find pins with ease the first year or so they are out without to much trouble? Or is just very random and luck of the draw?
I assume that rule though is at the cast member discretion?
I don't think many can. We order our pins for trading in lots off eBay. The seller says they are not fake but of course they do. They aren't going to advertise fake pins. I know we are happy with them and happy to trade some, and keep some. It's up to DGD which we trade and which we keep. No one has ever said no to a trade. We've even gotten DL pins at WDW. I will have to let DGD look for the green sash. I've never noticed one but have never looked specifically either.How can you tell an official Disney pin from one that is as not?
I've seen every CM except for maintenance staff with pins to trade. And yes, I mean every. Even suits (aka management)Are there any places in the parks that have more CMs with pins than others or does one of the parks have more than others? And I think some one mentioned getting pins from the Resorts as well? Can they really be on any CM on the property really?
