Disneyland pin quest

[cats mom]

Hi,

I'm a very small time pin collector - really just one lanyard and a few pins for each of my 4 kiddos that we got on a trip to WDW.
Well, OK and several that I tucked away for myself just 'cuz I loved them.

I just saw that there is a pin quest at DL on 7/17. We will be there that day - is this something that would be fun and can be done at an easy pace or is it more for the 'real' collectors with long lines and such?

Any insight from those in the know would be much appreciated - thanks

Just me - will try to clarify my question. Somebody out there has to know about these events!

From reading the description of the pin quest I'm assuming there will probably be a line to pick up the map at the starting point - right?

What I'm really wondering about is when you go around to the different locations - can you take your time and go as you tour the park or is there some sort of a time requirement?
Also, will you have to stand in line again at each check-in point?

It sounds like it might be fun - but we will have a 4 and 7 year old with us so it may not be worth it if it means extra criss-crossing of the park or waiting in lots of lines.

Please - any info would help
