I don't get the pin thing either. When we had little kids we had no money and I had to save to get my Disney fix every year. We purchased the pins for the children because they were a souvineer we could afford. I guess they may be worth something now but I won't part with them. The kids use to put them all over the belt bags they had. DD still has all of her and she bought a lanyard when she went to DW for her senior trip. They are all on it in her room now. She hopes to get a summer job at Disney so I guess that is why she is keeping them home. I love mine because they help me remeber when the kids were younger and so cute. They are still cute but they were easier when they were younger.
I think the pins that light up are cute but theya re so big they would be annoying.
