MNSSHP pins?

[minivan3]

I hope to get tickets for this event as soon as I hear they go on sale. However, I was wondering how are the special pins released for this sold? I know on holidays when pins are released, you need to arrive before the park opens and stand in line for an hour at the pin stations to get the LE's. Do they have specific places to sell the MNSSHP pins, is it first come first serve, and are they only available on the first night of the party? Thanks for any info.

I can tell you my experience from the first night of MNSSHP 2002.
We entered MK just before the party started.
There was a long line coming from the Emporium, which I wondered was for the pin.
I decided to take my chance later, since the pin wasn't a low LE.
I ended up buying them in Tomorrowland around two hours later, with no problem.
The *catch* was the CM HAD to mark our wristband AND our MNSSHP ticket. So keep your tickets handy.
Thinking we didn't need our tickets any longer (AP's AND the wristband) we just carelessly tossed ours in whatever and had to tear apart what we were caryying to locate them.
I thought it was overkill. But the CM's refused to sell any (2 per person) without the tickets also. (Geez. I could have understood it if they were giving the pins away.)
If you see them and want them, buy them. Don't wait for later.

We went to last year's MNSSHP on the 27th -- I was able to pick up two different pins at the pin cart at Toontown Fair. I hadn't looked for them anywhere else (I'd assumed they'd be sold out) and just stumbled upon them. I chose one, and the CM said, "Don't you want the other two?" then pulled them out of a box next to her cash register. I ended up buying one other style, didn't particularly care for the third.

But what does MNSSHP stand for?

This board always has helpful people - it would be great if all of life's interactions always involved people looking to help and share

Thanks

We were at the MNSSHP 10/02. We left the park around 9:30 and stopped to purchase the pins on the way out. No wait, no tickets needed, no problem!
