TDS Pins

[JDH]

Anyone know if the 12 months of magic pins are being released Saturdat 2/23 ? If so what are they.

Latest word I've received is that yes, TDS is releasing the next batch on Saturday 2/23. The list of pins will be officially released on Thursday, but I imagine there's someone out there who will be able to give you that information before then. CMs have been instructed to not release that information until Thursday, so you won't get it from one of us!

Thanks, Luv2Roam! Why would the Disney Stores not tell guests until Thursday? It would seem they would want to let guests know so they can plan to go to the Store & buy merchandise!

My store's manager told me tonight.

Part of the issue may be that so many of the DS pretty much place the pins out for sale whenever, while some wait for an official memo. Either that or there are various, contradictory memos distributed to the stores.
I am surprised to see no one has posted their store has been selling these pins for a week now. That is what is normal anymore for the DS pin sales.
This might be the first time this year that stores are actually all starting to sell them on the same day. Maybe now that there are fewer stores, Disney will have a better handle. Or that head North American DS head honcho is finally gone now after he gave his notice.
I agree, you would think they would promote the pins a lot more within the stores.

I heard that they wanted to wait until Thursday to announce what pins will be available to "keep the mystery" in the collecting...

Whatever.

Folks that collect the pins will be there first thing regardless.
Those who don't, will see what is left after that
