2002 Magical Moments pins -still work??

[Ratpack]

We have a trip in less than a month and I was wondering if the Magical Moments pins from last year still go off at certain times in certain rides. I don't want to carry it back with me unless it is going to work.

Thanks!!

I thought they were set off by the parade music. I think I remember them going off in the middle of a PI night club last year. I'll carry mine for a day or 2 and find out. I'm sure they'll need a new battery though! I'll let you know when I get back!

I just found this on Deb's site:

MAGICAL MOMENTS PINS

The new Magical Moments pins, which debuted for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration, aren't your standard cloisonne pins. These pins are large (about 2", give or take a 1/2") and made of thick plastic. More importantly, each pin has four differently colored LED lights (white, yellow, red, and blue) embedded in the plastic.

The pins light up in a brilliant pattern when you "jump start" them with a light touch. More mini light shows appear on your pins when you encounter a special "magical moments" in the parks, which may include parades, rides, shows, and the Discover the Stories Behind the Magic kiosks.

We've personally seen our pins light up as the first and last floats in a parade pass by, and at the Discover the Stories Behind the Magic kiosks. We've heard from cast members that the pins light up on Tower of Terror (the star room) and in one the scenes in the Great Movie Ride. No doubt there are many more trigger points, and we're sure you'll have a ball finding them all.

Five different pin designs are available: one representing each of the four parks, plus one for the 100 Years of Magic. Two posts on the back keep the pins in place. The pins are $15.00 each and come with two extra batteries.

Yes the 100 years of magic pins still work. I was there two weeks ago with my pins and they still worked great. The new pins are pretty cool and have a lot more features. I was thinking about getting one but I already have three of them.

We will still bring ours for the night activities. Kind of awkard in the heat of summer to wear. It almost pulls my little boys tank top off to the side when he wears his!
