Pin Trading at Vero

[poohstx]

Does anyone know which night is for pin trading? Do the CM wear lanyards?

We were at VB in July 2001 and I saw no pin trading. I recall being disappointed in the small number of pins in the gift shop.

Cast membeers wore lanyards with few pins.

We were at VB in May and I believe pin trading took place in the lobby everyday at 4pm. My kids were doing one of the craft activities and my 7 y/o dd mentioned to the CM that she was going to the pin trading in a little while. The CM said she would be there too. She told my DH and I that it is not a big event and they don't know why they offer it. Anyway, my dd told the Cm that she was in search of a Cinderrella pin. My DH took her to the pin trading that day and the same CM had a Cinderella for her! That night, we were in the gift shop and the CM in there noticed my dd new pin. She commented that she must be the one that caused such a stir this afternoon. We didn't know what she was talking about and she explained a CM (the one doing the crafts) came flying in searching everywhere and everyone for a Cinderella. She had a little girl coming soon and she was determined to find a pin for her. She found one in the back room I guess. Okay, so this was more info then you wanted! lol I just wanted to share and give you some insight into how wonderful the Cm's are at VB.

We were at VB this last weekend and everyone at the welcome desk was wearing lanyards with pins. Trading was at 4 PM on Saturday. No sure on Sunday because we left before that. Had a great stay and it's a GREAT place !

We were there in June and pin trading was everyday at 4pm in the lobby. CMs had pins to trade through out the resort. My kids went one afternoon and it was only them and a very nice CM.

Lisa, great pin trading story - restores one's faith in Disney ! You might want to share it with the pin collectors/traders over on the collector's bb.

We just got back from Vero/WDW Friday and I'm looking at the Vero activity sheet for 7/26 to 8/1. There was pin trading every day at 4 pm in the lobby.
