Anyone know where I can get a good pin fanny pack? (Kids lanyards kill my neck after a while). I saw one called Bill Nelson pin fanny pack. Anyone heard of these or have one of these? What do you think of it? Any other info. or other brands
you could suggest would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
I've got a couple of his small pin bags and they are very well made. I don't think I've ever seen his fanny pack pin bag.

I haven't see the Bill Nelson fanny pack either, but we did get a couple of his pin bags a couple of years ago. They are very well made.

The only other fanny pack I can think of is the one from the AK Pin Event given out to attendees. Lauri got one and I think it's great. I don't think Disney is selling a fanny pack, though. The thing I like about the AK pack is the bottle holder. I looked at the Bill Nelson site and it didn't say anything about a bottle holder.
 
The AK fanny pack worked great on my trip in May. Much better than a lanyard. Check eBay, I saw some for sale
 

The Bill Nelson fanny pack is nice, but the comments I have heard is that they page has to be folded and unfolded when you are looking at the pins and then putting them back into the pouch. The AK fanny pack is much better in this regard, IMHO.

Also, WDW has a Pin Back Back that a lot of traders use. I would recommend that option or try to purchase an AK fanny pack from Ebay. There are usually a couple out there.

Hope this helps.
 
I have the Bill Nelson one and it's nice, it's durable. But you do have to unfold the entire thing to display your pins. And flip it over since you can put pins on both sides of the middle section.

My understanding, though, is that Bill Nelson has retired. I don't know that you can get his fanny packs any longer.

I have the Bill Nelson fanny pack pin bag. The pages do fold out and ALOT of people have trouble refolding it properly. The pages could be a little stiffer but it hold ALOT more pins that the AK pack. I'd say I could easily fit a third of the pins my large pin bag holds. The AK bag would maybe hold 1.5 pages from a large pin bag.
 
Anyone know how much the AK fanny packs usually sell for on ebay? Thanks everyone for your help!

P.S. Didn't see any listed on ebay - do they list them as AK fanny pack, pin bag or something else?
