Mario,
I think the lanyard pins were very well handled. I was able to fiind enough of them to have fun. You needed to be in the right park at the right time. For example, I wanted to spend my last full day, Thursday, at MGM Studios. Not a lanyard pin in sight. Went to AK around 2:00 in the afternoon and was able to find all of the new ones except Mickey Topiary and the second Dalmatian puppy. The puppy I can live without, the Mickey I HAVE to have. They seemed to refresh the lanyards with new pins several times a day, so they didn't get picked clean in the first hour, which was great.
Also had some success at the All Star Resorts, which I spent a few hours at while waiting for my son and his friends to finish at Blizzard Beach, and at the Boardwalk late one evening.
Have fun lanyard hunting when you go next week!
Cynthia
