Pin Trading Question

[rdominy]

We are taking my daughter to Disney World for our first trip in December.
I purchased some starter pins off e-bay for her to trade. She is 3 and while I think she will really enjoy doing this she has a severe phobia of men she doesn't know. So....I know there are female CMs, but I'm not sure how she'll be about approaching them. Are there places set up specifically for pin trading that we would be able to go to instead of approaching random CMs?
Thanks

they do have pin trading nights
you can find out if one is scheduled while you are there at odpt.com

also they do have CM's that wear a different colored lanyard that only kids can trade with and I have always found these CM's to be great with kids

A large part of the fun of pin trading..
is the trading with random cms.
Yes..there are other places....
all guest services have pin books..the sweet shop in MK has one..
and there are other stationary books and boards around..
that are always there..
and not the ones that are only open once in awhile.
But...because pin trading is like a treasure hunt....
going up to random cms..
is a lot of fun.
I suggest that you trade also...
and...do it first..
so that she can see..that it is not as scary as she fears.

This is GREAT advice. You should definitely trade as well, let DD follow your example.
