My DD has one from Cinderella's Royal Table from November 2006, but I didn't see any others on our trip last week, (we did 5 different character meals). Too bad, I think she'd really have enjoyed a pin.
We ate at 4 different CM's at WDW last September (for a total of 6 CM's at 4 different places, twice at two) and did not receive anything (other than a meal and some character interaction)!
Crystal Palace CM (dinner) however, the management there had wonderful pins to trade, so if you go... keep an eye out!
1) At one time, WDW gave pins at character meals.
2) But, character meals have become very popular.
3) Especially with DDP.
4) Thus, they do not have to give out pins to induce patronage.
We bought a Chef Mickey's pin at the park, but haven't seen any for the other Character meals we've been too...anybody seen pins for Crystal Palace or 1900 Park Fare Supercalifragilistic Breakfast? We'd love to have them!!
Disneyland resort gives out big round button pins (like a birthday button) at all its character meals. We've collected more than our fair share and it's currently in our disney box of stuff.
That's a bit of a bummer that WDW doesn't do the same. They are great little, inexpensive reminders of fun meals we've had as a family.
