backs for pins

[timandlesley]

We will be in the World in 3 days!!! WOO HOO
I am packing my kids lanyards and noticed we must have lost several backs last year because we have erasers on them to hold them on. Where can we buy a pack of replacement mickey head backs? Do they sell them in resort gift shops? Our first night is at POP, and then we are at WL for 8 nights, anyone know?
Thanks.

I dont know where you can get michey head ones, but at craft stores like michaels and ac moore they sell gold and silver ones that hold the pins on good, they just are not as exciting.

They have replacement backs just about everywhere they sell pins. They also have locking backs that are kind of nice.

They are at the resorts they will be where they sell pins and they will also sell them whereever they sell pins..

You can get the pin backs just about anyplace they sell pins. If I remember right, you can get a bag of them or just a dollar or two. One of the cheaper things you will be purchasing while in Disney

Yes, POP merchandise store does sell pin backs. For those pins you know you will not be trading and don't want to lose...get the locking backs....they have to be put on and taken off with a small allen wrench (supplied with the bag of locking backs)!

Thanks for the info on the locking backs.

I think the Mickey Head backs are terrible. They don't hold well at all.

Everywhere. The locking ones are better though.

not only can you get mickey head pin backs, but they also have mickey gloves, mickey shoes, and stars pin backs

After loosing many a pin when it got jostled, I ended up nixing the whole lanyard thing and now when I want to trade, I either put the pins on my hat or just carry it in my bag/pocket.

We've switched over to a pin trading bag, very compact, that has inserts to securely hold the pins (it zips shut). You can wear it like a fanny pack or sling over shoulder. Got it @ www.disneyshopping.com.
