Adventures by Disney pin collector with questions

[AbDcollector]

Hello;

My name is Gabe, and I collect AbD pins.
Not just the individual pins but the whole set of pins handed out during the trips. I need your help.
There is currently nowhere to go to find out about these pins so I thought I would ask you, the travellers.
I do not collect the individual pins but instead collect each trip and each year that the trip was / is offered.
Some trips have pins that have changed each year, and I want to show that in my collection.
I need to know what those changes are.
Could I ask :
What trip have you taken ?
When did you take that trip, Month ? Year ?
How many days was YOUR trip ? (they have changed over the years)
Do you have pictures of your lanyards ? Pins ?
Do you display your pins ? Lanyards ? How ?


Thank you for your help.

Hello Gabe. You would probably get more responses by asking this question on the ABD board as that is where most ABD travelers post.

I was on the Scotland Brave Adventure ABD trip this year.
August 2013
9 days. This was the inaugural year.
Picture of my lanyard below.
I haven't displayed them yet as I'd like to do something special. I am thinking our favorite picture from each day with the corresponding pin in a nice frame.

Thank you for the info about your trip and even more for the picture. Love it. Yes, I HAVE also posted on the AbD board. Just trying to cover all the bases. This just seemed a good place to ask Adveturers about their pins. I hope that many of you add your pictures too.
There is very, very little out there (on the internet) about these trips and these pins. Your picture is probably the FIRST Scotland Brave Adventure trip showing the pins.
THANK YOU. Your info is going into my binder.
This is exactly what I / we need to know and see.

Thanks, Gabe

It's just me again.
Have you been on one of the Adventure trips ?
Do you just love your lanyard full of 'memory' pins ?
I'm doing research on how the designs have changed over the years.
I'm not here to try to buy your pins (I know that they are too valuable), I'm trying to get pictures of them to see which Disney characters they are using. I understand that some of you may not want to show pictures of the pins so as to not take away the surprise that future trip takers will get when they get their pins so... you can send me the picture(s) in a PM.

Thanks, Gabe

Some of the ABD pins can be found on pinpics (a website that has a lot of Disney pins listed)

The problem is that what pinpics has is not even half of what is out there. I was hoping to get pictures of lanyards from people that had taken the trips but they are reluctant to show their lanyards to 'outsiders'. I'm just greatfull that they all don't think that way. It may take time, but I am hoping that more pictures show up here so that we can all see how unique they really are. Have YOU ever been on a AbD trip ? Know anyone who has ? Have a great pin day ! and, Merry Christmas too !

Am I the only pin collector out there that collects Adventure by Disney pins ?
Really ? No one else will admit it ?
If you do, please contact me, would love to know how you have your pins grouped, displayed.
thanx
