First Timer Pin Question

[Minnie0107]

Me and my husband are going to Disney tomorrow to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We are going to be first timers. Everywhere I look people are talking about Disney pins, but I can’t find anything that really explains it. Where do you get the pins? When do you trade? Do people actually wear them? Thank for your help!

Hi! Congrats on your anniversary!

If you're interested in pin trading, go to officialdisneypintrading.com They have all the rules on their site. You can buy pin starter kits at the parks or Downtown Disney, with a lanyard and a few pins, to start you off, for $30 or so. If you don't want to spend so much, go to the Orlando Premium Outlets on the other side of I-4 from Disney at the Lake Buena Vista exit. They have a Disney outlet that sometimes carries tradeable pins for less money than buying pins in the parks.

Many people wear their pin lanyards around the parks--but if you really like your pins and don't want to worry about them falling off, invest in locking pin backs. The plastic ones sometimes come off.

Also--if it's your anniversary, make sure to go to Guest Services at all the theme parks--they give out free anniversary buttons for you to wear, and you'll get congratulated all day by the CMs!

Hope this helps you out! Happy Trading!

Happy Anniversary.

Everywhere you go in Disney, you will see pins. All the gift shops have them. My DH and I collect the resort pins of where we have stayed. My DS's collect of their special character or ride. This past trip my oldest collected the pins of Pirates of the Caribbean. We don't trade because we buy on certain ones. Enjoy your trip!!
