Tips on taking pins to WDW

[Charleneluvsdisney]

I carry trader pins for 3 people on my lanyard, and store it in a baggalini bag. We each start off the day with maybe 7 pins. I leave spaces in between each group of 7 - so we know who's set belongs to who.

At the end of the day, I remove the pins that we want to keep, and replace them with more traders. I have a small stitch pin bag that I take with us that is filled with traders and leave at the hotel. This system seems to work for us, and 9 times out of 10 someone ends up "owing" trader pins to the next person! Usually it is my son! We also like to collect sets as a family, so we are constantly sharing pins.

I also have a small pin bag. I pin my traders in that.
In the zipper section in the back, I have some small plastic bags. That is where I put the ones I get trading that I am going to keep. When we get back to the room, they go into the suitcase to come home.
I used to use a lanyard, but lost a few pins, so switched over.

I put locking backs on all of the pins I don't want to trade. That seems like a good system to differentiate between them for kids.
