Can't find the answer to this using "search"...pin trading

[Belle5]

Pin trading is really important to my two youngest sons. Last February we stayed at POFQ and daily they went to the 3:00 pm pin trading either in that lobby or the one at POR. We also visited other Disney resorts during that time and they were holding pin trading each day, as well. My question is, do the DVC resorts also do this in their lobbies...specifically OKW?

Thanks!

I don't recalling seeing an official Pin Trading event at OKW. It is possible there could be an unofficial meet. You may want to hop onto the Collector's board, and they may know.

OKW had a pin board in the gift shop. It was only out during certain times. Same with King Pin at Animal Kingdom. Trading with him has been my favorite pin trading experience at any resort.

I don't know if they have a specific pin trading time but when we stayed there last year there was a board at Olivia's.

There was also a life preserver at the gift shop they used as a pin board. We just asked the CM to see it when we went in and she gladly brought it out for us.

At OKW they have a big pin trading cusion that they keep behind the counter.you have to ask to see it but it has maybe 200 pins to trade from .Enjoy.

They also have a board in recreation room and the life preserver in the store as well as a board in Olivia's ... We were there less than a month ago and my daughter LOVES to pin trade....

I like to trade pins with my DD as well. I know at SSR they also had a big board in the gift shop that you could trade with. Sometimes you have to ask to see it, other times they have it out.

At our stays at both BLT and SSR last year they had hours for pin trading for the kids, but it was only select dates and times. Each day they had a different event for children. My DD loved coloring her own pin lanyard one day when DS was napping. She also got to make her own ice cream (funny how I was the one doing all the hard work making it). She had a blast.

Also now that I remember, BLT had a lot of CM with green lanyards, which meant that ONLY kids could trade with them, not adults.
