Cheese Soup pin?

[daber]

When at DL two weeks ago, I found out about the AP Dining pin. If you spend over $20 at certain restaurants and are an AP, you can receive, if there are any left, a special pin. The first one was Lady and the Tramp. Well, I didn't get one because 1. My AP is only for FL (boy did I feel like a second class citizen) and 2. All the pins were gone.

WDW is missing the boat on this. What if they did it for each restaurant. Talk about increasing sales. So I propose the first restaurant to jump on the bandwagon should be Le Cellier.
What do you all think?

I think Daber has hit on something similar to what I've mentioned before.

Just as there are pins for each resort, why not pins for each restaurant? At least the sit-down ones? I like to collect pins from the places we visited on each trip. Right now I am filling in on favorite attractions pins. But there are so many restaurants where we had wonderful times and/or special experiences -- I wish there were pins for all those places.

One note: I am pretty sure that Nat has a prototype of the "cheese soup" pin. I think I saw some telltale yellow spots on several of his pins.

My DW Sue said the same thing on our trip to WDW last July. She even mentioned it to our servers at the Rose and Crown and at Le Cellier. I agree that Disney is missing an excellent opportunity to separate the public from their hard earned money. I know that I would purchase restaurant pins.

I think a Cheese Soup pin is one of the funniest things I had ever heard of!

I also think it's a great idea. Think about it... There could be a Tonga Toast pin, a churro pin (I know, not a restaurant, but still...), a Mickey waffle, a Brown Derby Cobb Salad.

No question - we would buy these!

Any other ideas?

for Disney to come up with some four or five dollar pins. they don't have any plain basic pins like that now. So there is no NEED to start with them being so darn fancy and expensive

I would totally buy a Mickey's Ice Cream Pin!!

But my point was like DL.....the pin is FREE.....if you spend over $20 for a meal AND are an AP.
It would increase AP sales and restaurant sales, not pin sales.

Interesting angle, daber. I agree it would boost food sales, but would it really boost AP sales? Either way, I like the idea.

not meaning any disrespect but ARE YOU CRAZY??? no I'm sorry I really didn't mean it. Disney used to give us free pins just for coming through the gates. WDW is a whole new world. (Sorry Aladdin and Jasmine) It would be great though. I'm in anyone else???

Why stop with the restaurants? How about a Margaritta Pin? I know of at least 4 ladies who would buy multiples of that pin!
