Does anyone know how the pin trading works on the ship? We have traded pins at WDW but weren't sure how it works on DCL. Do the cast members wear pins? At WDW you can trade pins with them no questions asked. I was also wondering if they only trade cruise line pins or will they trade regular WDW pins? My kids really get a kick out of this. They are just do it for the fun of it.
 
Yes they do pin trading. not all of the cast members wear the lanyards, but there is usually someone in guest services, as well as several in the stores. They had all different kinds of pins including DCL exclusive. We saw some WDW and even some Disneyland pins. My kids do the same thing...they aren't collectors, they just like the act of trading pins! Good luck and enjoy!:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce:
 
There are also nights they wheel out a big cart with all sorts of pins on it into the Atrium. Times will be listed. They usually release a new DCL exclusive pin for that week at this time too. There are also some CMs I think that can only trade with children. I think lanyard colored sets them apart.
 
When we cruised the Wonder in 2002, they had one evening when several of the officers came out on deck 3 one evening for about an hour and traded with all of the kids too. Not sure if this still happens or not. We just cruised the Magic in September but since we forgot our lanyards (yikes!) we didn't do any trading and didn't really pay much attention to the times this was going on.
Have fun!
