Wow, thats a lot of pins!! They are great though, did you have a fun trip?

 

[Meriweather]

Wonderful!!

I kept saying I wasn't going to buy more and then ended up just roaming the ship and back in the stores....and the pins were just there....so hard to resist

 

[Pooh67_68]

Welcome home Nancy.

Wow lots of pins, very nice. I like the Tink on best.

 

[JLitfin]

Welcome home Nancy, glad you had a great time.

 

[Evita_W]

WOW those are some great pins!!

Welcome back from your trip!! It sounds like it went GREAT!! Makes me want to get on my vacation NOW!! (It is not till Dec.)

 

[Meriweather]

I will try to get a mini trip report done sometime this week. We'll see how that goes

 

[DJT]

Wow! You have lots of nice pins there. My favs are the two Chip & Dale pins.

Good job!

 

[Luv2Roam]

Did you do any trading on board?

 

[Meriweather]

no trading. I didn't bring any pins with me
but lots was being done. they had a certain time every night to meet and trade too and the CMs, of course, had their lanyards on.
one guy was getting rid of a lot of his collection and had a bag full of pins.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Nice pins! I like the Goofy painting ( I suppose the ship) the best!

Ordinarily when you go to WDW do you trade pins?

Bobbi

 

[Meriweather]

I have never traded pins in person
I may try it next time....Nov.

Yes, Goofy is painting the ship.
There is a decoration hanging off the real ship like that. Very cute.

 

[DJT]

I have never traded pins in person
I may try it next time....Nov..

I'm amazed that you have never traded pins in person! You are such a PIN PERSON!

Too shy....and it is a new found addiction, thanks to some people here

 

[DJT]

Too shy....and it is a new found addiction, thanks to some people here

Honestly, you can't be any more shy than I am. Believe me. My sister and I first got into pin trading a few years ago when there was a coupon for a free pin in the Orlando magazine. The coupon was good at the World of Disney Store. So every day while on vacation, we'd take a coupon and get a free pin. I think that helped us approach CMs for trading. It also hooked us. That was the beginning of our addiction. It all happened so fast. . .
And now, no turning back.

[Meriweather]

Well, you had your sister
If I had someone to do it with me, at least to start, that would help.
I am going to give it a try in Nov.....we'll see how that goes.

 

[DJT]

That's true, I did have my sister and she was as shy about it as I was. Once you do it a couple of times, you realize how much fun it is and you just want to approach every CM you see with a lanyard.

DH won't trade but he will point out that he "noticed" a pin I might like to trade for on a CM lanyard. When I hand him a pin and tell him he can trade it, he won't.

I have a feeling by November you will be all psyched and ready to trade!

[Danauk]

I'm quite a shy person but I managed to do quite a bit of trading for the 1st time on my last visit to Disneyland Paris. If I can trade with people who don't speak English as their 1st language (the CM's at DLP are amazing at English though and I did some great trades, the CM's were so nice!) then anyone can trade!!

 

[Meriweather]

Hmmm...I could get DH to trade for me...he isn't shy!!
I will give it a try.
I know I got my friend interested in trading, but that would mean I need her to go on another trip with me
