Best time/place to get First Visit pin??

[klacey1]

I will be spending Oct 28-29 at Disneyland would love to rock the First Visit pin for as much of the trip as possible. However, I don't want to waste precious rope drop hours at Guest Services. Is there anywhere in Tomorrowland to get that button? (That'll be our first land.) I'll be staying at the Hilton Anaheim; I know they have a Disney desk to sell tickets but I wasn't sure about pins? TIA!

First of all, congrats on your first visit!! I just went for my first visit at the end of August. It was amazing. I stayed at the Disneyland hotel and the pin was waiting for me at check in. However I did see people handing different pins out on Main Street inside the Disneyland park itself.
Definitely wear that pin! I was getting questions and high fives from people. So fun!!

Thank you! I will keep an eye out for people on Main Street when we walk in!
Ahhh, I was dying to stay at the Disneyland hotel, but I'll be in town for business and am extending the trip, so it just made sense to stay at the same hotel, especially given I'm getting an amazing rate! ($118/night)

You could stop by Townhall later in the day if the line is too long at the beginning of the day.

You could just stop in at Townhall when you hit Main Street! (It's on the left of the townsquare when you walk in.)

I was thinking that, but was afraid the lines would be too long at rope drop! I've never traveled around Halloween, and have heard the crowds are unfortunately crazy at that time of year.

You can ask at the entrance.

On our last trip the guest services hut near the shuttles (right before going through security) had them. Also they had an umbrella with a podium outside city hall where they handed them out vs going inside city hall for the button.

I've heard that they have them at many of the shops as well. Have fun!!

Also, they have them at the wait times kiosk near the Jolly Holiday and Hub

usually, at some point in the morning they will set up a podium outside city hall for guests who only want buttons, but you can ask at any of the shops, they usually have a pretty wide selection.

Thank you, everyone!!! I'm such a WDW/UO vet that I feel so out of my element here. So all of this info is so appreciated

We got ours the night we arrived in DTD for that reason, didn't want to wait in a line. We arrived around dinner time and headed to do some shopping! Got out "ears", pins and buttons at the huge Disney store.

When we were there last October, we got pins from a photopass photographer. He had a bunch in his apron. I'm not sure if that is a common occurrence but thought I would share!

At the end of Main Street on the left near the entrance to Adventureland is a Wait Time Board.
It is manned by Guest Service and has First Visit Pins with little or no wait.

Wow, so many different options! Thanks, everyone!
