Hi everyone
I just got home from WDW yesterday and I bought 6 pins while I was there, just really picked out ones that I thought were really cool, I bought about 7 or 8 last year, again, just ones I thought were neat.....I was wondering if there is any type of disney pin collecting club you could join thats like the movie club, where you have the chance to buy new pins as they are released or anything like that? Also, where in the world do you start, I could have bought every pin I saw down there, its so hard to choose and its so overwhelming, just wondering where to start and if there is anywhere I can buy these to add to my small collection without going to WDW???
Thanks guys:thumbsup2

Hi

I am by no means an expert but here is my input.

Yes the pins are all great. No I can't afford to buy them all:3dglasses

What I have done is limit what I collect. In my case since I love cruising I collect only DCL pins.

That being said I do have a few that have nothing to do with cruising but for the most part - 98% of my collection is DCL

I am not aware of a pin "club" that would allow you to purchase pins.
They do publish release dates for alot of the pins and you can buy alot of them online but there are some that are only released in the park or on the ship. D23 also has pins that are only available to members

Good Luck and remember it is supposed to be fun

Some good sites for you to check out are dizpins.com and pinpics.com. They both have a lot of info on them and a lot of people that can help. Also, ds.com has new releases on monday morning. Some of them are phone only orders for limited editions.hth
 
Buying pins can become VERY addictive. LOL :rotfl2: I use pinpics to keep track of my pins (what I own, what I want & what I am trading) and DizPins for questions. There is also a collector forum on the Dis which has some great information. Have fun. :hippie:Penny

Collecting/Trading is very addictive and oh so expensive

We (DW DD and I) are up to 3 very large cork boards full of cast lanyard pins, event pins, and just cute ones.

Have fun, and spread the pixie dust..

p.s. few things in the world bring a bigger smile to a childs face than a stranger walking up to them and giving them a pin (they really are not that expensive in the grand scheme of things) just for the enjoyment of seeing that smile.
