I traded pins last week for the first time. My mom bought me a bunch of pins on ebay, and I traded all of the ones I brought. The one that I like the most from my trip is the rainbow mickey. It's a mickey head with rainbow colors.
I have a ton of pins! I don't like trading any of the big ones.This past summer,I went to a pin convention and traded some small ones.They are all my favorites.
But, I don't trade or collect, really. I have a stitch firewall pin from my VMK days, a pin with Micke as Jack Skellington, on with Minnie as Sally, and a pin with Sally and a tombstone.
I do have a favorite pin. My grandma that recently passed away was a Florida resident and annual passholder. She got special, rare, expensive pins that no one else could get. I have a few that she gave me. I will post a picture of my favorite one in a few minutes.
Hi Emily! Welcome to the DIS!
Just so you know, you can't post a picture without having 10 posts, and also- you'll need to upload them to the internet (photobucket, flickr, imageshack,etc) before you can post them here.
Hope that helps
I have two favorite pins. One is the rocking rollercoaster spinny pin that has a really neat story behind it, even though you can get it anywhere in the parks.
Another one is my Meet-the-Robinsons opening day pin. I saw the movie opening weekend at the AMCs, and I loved it
I collect opening day pins/movie release pins and I have to get at least one every visit. I really really want to get a D23 charter year pin.
haha thanks. that helped. and here are the pictures of my two favorite pins.
1) if you cant see what the words say, on the left side it says "Passholder Exclusive" and the bottom says "Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park".
2) if you can't see what the words say, on the top it says "Where Dreams Come True" and on the bottom it says "2007 Passholder".
I'm thinking I might buy my DD one of these lanyards so she can start collecting. Is there a thread to tell me more about the hype surrounding these things LOL?
I JUST started collecting again. I used to when it first started, 10 years ago. Crazy I know. Then we just stopped going to disney for a while, so I stopped. i lost most of those pins , but my mom found a few from 2000 in her drawer a while back. Not sure if they are good since they don't have that mickey mouse head back(they are so old) and the holder they are on isn't the same as the new ones. (one is pink!) anywaysss. Yeah I just started up again and I have like 4 or 5 "official ones.
My mom got me a lot of pins when I had my MAW trip in '06. Next time I want to buy a cheap pin lot of things I don't really like so I can trade. I really like/want to trade for the pins of Minnie dressed as other Disney characters (like Belle and Sally).
