Nov. 17-Pin Trading Cruise-Who's Going?

Thanks for all of the great tips! Sounds like it is going to be so much fun!

My daughter will LOVE to find a lanyard full of princesses!! She is very shy and doesn't talk much, but really enjoyed pin trading! She would see a CM w/ pins and whisper in my ear "Mommy, there's one" We would walk over and she would take a look, and look, and look, and then point to the one she would like. Sometimes, it's not even a princess pin, but Mickey or Minnie.

I must say, my heart melted when you posted you and your husband have a special lanyard just for little ones! That is so sweet!!

Here is a question for anyone; Are you bringing all the pins you have so you can show (not trade) people what you have, or are you just bringing what you want to trade?

I am just finding out about this now, but is it too late (I'm sure it is) for me to sign up for any of the pin trading stuff going on the ship? What do I need to do?

Can't wait -

Karen,

Hopefully our paths will cross on the cruise, I'd love to trade with your daughter! Sorry, I just can't resist the little ones!

Hmmm, are we bringing all of our pins? No, we'd probably sink the ship! But we will have a bag with some of them, like I said, to get interested, it's great to just look at some of the books that have the older and rarer pins...not to mention the ones from Japan and Paris! Don't be shy, as I said, most of us are really nice people. My husband, Ted and I were relatively new to the hobby on our last cruise and have made some great friends that we regularly talk with!

As far as getting in on the event, you may want to try calling DCL specifically, or possibly even Event Services at Disney,407-827-7600. I know that they have already done the RSP process (selecting who will receive the limited edition pins) but, you still may be able to get in, as I know all of the LE's haven't sold out.

Hope this Helps!

Thanks for posting the phone number - I will give them a call today -

I went to DCA yesterday - Please don't tell my DH what I spent on pins! This could turn out to be a very expensive hobby!

Hope to see you! Thanks again for all of your great information and advice!

Yeah...did someone not send you that memo....

This is a VERY expensive hobby The bill for our RSP alone for Ted and I was $410! EEEK


But it is truely a fun and addicting hobby! I wouldn't TRADE it for anything :lol

We leave 1 week from today!

See you soon!

Bumping this up because we are so close now!

Is everyone packed and ready to go? (yea, right!)

My family is now coming down with some sinus thing! Yuck! Any secret remedies out there? Praying to be better by the time we leave!

Getting excited now!

Have you thought of trying Zicam??? It is an over the counter Zinc med that you squirt up your nose and me and my family swear by it. You should use it at the beginning of a cold or sinus thing and then continue to use it for 48 hours after the symptoms stop but it seems to cut down on our cold time by about 2-3 days. I know some question it and maybe it is the placebo effect but we have friends who also swear by it. It is kind of pricey but it might be worth a shot. My family is just getting over colds AND the stomach flu so lets hope it is gone for good now! We are all packed except for the small items that we need to throw in on Thursday morning and we are so excited we cant stand it!!!!

I have heard of Zicam - Think I will pick some up today!

We also have had that terrible stomach thing and I was hoping that would be it! But if we were to get sick, I am glad it is before the cruise and not during!

thanks for the tip!
