ParkHopper Meet-need help

[RamVA]

Since I'm pretty new to this, and didn't expect to become addicted, I didn't buy a pin bag, or albulm, or anything when we were down at WDW except one lonely lanyard to put my pins on, and now I'm out of room! Does anyone who is coming on Sunday have a pin bag they are interested in selling to me? I know I can order something direct from WDW, but that will take some time. Just let me know if anyone can help; if not, aren't lanyards basically camera straps, and could I just buy a lanyard somewhere? I also went to Michaels and a small craft store here to see if I could find the materials to make my own, as some people have suggested, but I couln't find ANYTHING! Thanks guys!!

Ruthie,

Don't jump before Sunday. At Parkhopper's pin party you will see many types of pin holders: Disney pin bags of many sizes, generic pin bags, pin books, both commercially made and home-made. Also, lots of lanyards. I made lanyards for my family and Lauri has made DIS lime-green lanyards. We can both show you how we did ours and where we found materials. (This is so simple, you won't believe it!) And, if you decide you want a WDW pin bag, it will cost you less to ask someone to do you the favor of buying it for you in WDW and bringing it home. WDW Merchandise charges exorbitant shipping costs. Many of Sunday's attendees are going to WDW in three weeks for the pin event.

Do not despair! We came to our first pin meet with our pins in two craft boxes -- the kind with the divided trays. No one laughed at our eccentric pin container and we still use it at meets. Bring your pins in zip-lock bags, stuff 'em in your pockets, attach them to any available body parts (just kidding!) . . . It may not make a traditional "display," but you can still trade 'em!

See yuo Sunday.

As a temporary solution for the meet, how about pinning them on washcloths or towels?
