OMG. Pin trading is like the black hole of WDW. You'll just never return from it.
We thought it'd be fun for our girls to do it in February since they were younger and shy. And they really enjoyed it. An unfortunately side effect of their pin trading was that my husband found a pin he liked and BAM... next thing I know he's running around like drug addict looking to complete his pin set.
The room charges I paid for that trip for boxes of pins will haunt me for eternity.
We have adult only trip in a month coming up. He's already frothing at the mouth about these friggin' pins. No romance. I'll assume no hand holding lest I be dragged through the streets from CM lanyard to CM lanyard. It's allllll about the pins.
But yes! So much fun! They really are though. I'd just recommend getting a bunch through reputable ebay trader to save some $$.

I'll just end up grabbing a Lefou's Brew and watch him jog around like a FP runner on a mission.
Keep your fingers crossed he finds that ONE. LAST. CANDYCORN.
This thread has confirmed all of my fears about becoming a pin collector/trader myself. I know that if I allowed myself to buy just one single pin, it would become an obsession.
I just got back from a week in Disney and was tempted to take the plunge into the world of pins, but I somehow managed to abstain.
OMG! This is hilarious!!!
Holy smokes... My DH is not the pin-trading kind of guy, but alas, I think that my girls will indeed have some fun with it then.
Thanks for the laughs and info!

My vote is YEA, My family is completely addicted to pin trading (my kids look at their pins daily and we just stocked up & picked thru our pins for our June trip) BUT a fair warning to you... LeFou's Brew is just as addictive. We have found the recipe online and have drank it the last two days with plans do drink it again today.I'll just end up grabbing a Lefou's Brew and watch him jog around like a FP runner on a mission. Keep your fingers crossed he finds that ONE. LAST. CANDYCORN.
We're off to Disney for 4th of July week!
So we'll be there for 5 full days in the parks. Is it worth it to have the girls trade pins?
Thanks for your advice!
