Pins from Restaurants

[Jillian]

Hi! Just wondering if I can get pins from my favorite restaurants or eateries including fun places on the Boardwalk? My pin collection has a "favorites" theme and I'd like to add some restaurants. I've done good with attractions and resorts, but would like to expand. I haven't seen any on eBay and I can't remember what I've seen in the parks.

Thanks for your insight!!

I have seen Spoodles on the cast lanyards quite a bit. That should be an easy one.
I have a Le Cellier (and one to trade). But guessing those are still on the racks too.
CHef Mickey's I have also seen.
And here is a link to one I did not know about:

There must be more...
Oh yeah -- The ever famous Crystal Palace. You will probbaly see that on lanyards too.
Pin 5466: Countdown To Disney's Pin Celebration - Crystal Palace
OOps -- CA Grille I also got off a lanyard:
Pin 3313: California Grill


And HoB, RFC amd Bongo's all sell their own too. Or at least use to.

We definitely need more restaurant pins!

I also like to collect pins from restaurants we ate in on a particular trip. I think I have all of the ones Barbara mentioned, except Le Cellier -- because we've never eaten there.

Our favorite restaurant is <b>1900 Park Faire</b> at the GF. It would be great if there was a pin available, but there isn't one.

Another top favorite for us is Mama Melrose....again, no pin available.

I love restaurants pins too! The only one I know of not mentioned above is a ESPN zone pin.

I would like to have pins from all the places we have eaten. I have them from all the resorts I have stayed or eaten.

Funny thing.. a CM working the pin cart at the Contemporary told me there was no Calif Grill pin. I traded for it a few weeks ago. Small, but cute pin.

I think there are Big River Grill pins too. Don't know if they are still for sale, but I think I have one in one of my books.

There are many restaurant pins, I have quite a few and still have many more that I don't have!
Of course the California pins are much nicer and the selection is also better!
A great way to display them which I stumbled upon is to "acquire" the little folder which gets brought to you with the check at the end of the meal from the respective restaurant and the pin fits perfectly on the cover!!!!!!
The hardest ones to get (folders) were from Palo's but with a little help from my "friends" (we won't name names to protect the innocent) I got them!!!!!

Where did you find the California Grill pin? I've looked around at WDW but never seem to find one.

 

[chefmanny]

I have an extra one if you want it, maybe you have one I don't!

stitch79,

I traded for my Calif grill pin. I have never seen it at WDW.

There is a Hoo Dee Do pin. Also, there are several cool pins for Earl of Sandwich at DTD. I have the double decker bus.

I had forgotten about the Big River Grill pins. I sent out some trades for them last night, but so far, nothing.

Well, are you looking for anything in particular? I do have some extra for training, but they are all Lilo and Stitch pins. PM me if you're interested!

Thanks

There is a Crystal Palace pin too. I think they used it as a lanyard refresher because it was everywhere last year.

Thanks for all the great replys! I am going to have to start looking a little better!

My wife suggested restaurant pins to a CM several years ago. She was surprised that there weren't any available. I guess that I'll have to let her know that she was right. Drat.
