I feel a little foolish asking...

But I keep reading about pin trading and I don't know what it is...who do you trade with? What kind of pins? How do you get them? Please help!

Hi Gracey, I'm pretty new to all this too and swore I would never do the pin trading thing. Well, we were at WDW the last week of Jan. We got interested in the pins. We went to the Disney Outlet Store in the Belz mall and bought some of their cheaper pins, and that was the beginning of it. You can trade with any cast members wearing a lanyard. Of course, the pin you are trading has to be a real disney pin. There are rules of etiquette to pin trading, but it is so easy and fun. A cast member can't refuse to trade if the rules are followed. I can't recall them offhand, but I'm sure you can use a search and find them somewhere. Anyway, once we got started, we started finding pins we liked better and traded again for them. Now we are hooked. I look for pins now on ebay and several other websites. I just miss trading them. Have fun. Good Luck.

Just be CAREFUL buying pins on ebay. Some of them sold won't be tradeable.
