I was hoping for a little information on the Aug. pin weekend at Epcot. I have to admit right up front that I don't trade pins; collect a little, but not trade. I teach in an elementary school where security now requires that we carry our key with us at all times, so I figured why not on a pin lanyard? I teach a performing arts class, so I started a lanyard for each Disney story that I use in my classroom. Got one for Fantasia, one for Beauty and the Beast, and of course a Villains one just for me, plus a few others. Needless to say the kids love them!

Anyway, my question is would August be a good weekend for someone like me to go? Will I be able to buy pins or will it be all trading? Will I even be able to get in, or do you have to know the secret handshake, so to speak! We're back to school that week, would it even make sense to come if I can only drive up on Saturday? Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
 
If you go to dizpins.com they have the celebration info all laid out.

I would think this would be a fun way to start, it may be a little crazy. But according to what I am reading more organized than the previous events.
 
That was JUST what I needed! Thank you so much! Now I can't wait to get there! I guess they'd frown on me taking off work the first week of school, huh?:D
 
:bounce: You should definately try to go...Our first event was the AK Event ...we had a BALL !!
It was well organized and everyone was so friendly..we met some great people and had fun. We did not do alot of trading that time..but it was a great way to learn "the ropes"...
We are jumping up and down in our excitement for EPCOT...I know you would have a BLAST..
Even if you only did the map search...it would be worth it..going around the world getting the pins will be such fun..plus you get a great keepsake...I even traded for a map of the Contemporary Event ..and have a trade pending for the DTD..Event Map...I hope you do go...and have a great time..!!!
