weekly pin trading w/CMs...where/when?

[agnes!]

Yes, I've tried to look, but can't seem to find this info.

Where & when are the weekly (not the "*Special* Events") pin trading times at WDW? I know that there used to be one at The Contemporary, perhaps one at a moderate(Port Orleans?) and that there is *something* at a value and that Scoop is scheduled at MK for certain days/times(but what place?), but I can't remember (& can't seem to dig up) the details.
Anyone out there have the updated 2006 info from WDW? I know that WDW is always changing things...

thanks,
agnes!

Thursday night All Star Resort (Sports) Cafeteria
Friday night Contemporary 4th floor
(Port Orleans doesn't do it anymore)

Scoop talks are Sunday -Wednesday 1PM in the back of Expo Hall (Entrance of Main St. right hand side - where Tony's Restaurant is located)

Thanks daber.

Does anyone else have a few more details, like when the resort pin trading evenings start & end each night?
Also, at WoD in the section where the pins & jewelry are, at a certain time every day they bring out a pin trading book. (I can remember *that* much, but not the specific time...) Anyone know what time they do that?

My DH, bless his heart, has gotten into pintrading in a big way. I'm just trying to encourage his enthusiasm ...

agnes!

ETA: I finally got the info pryed out of the official WDW site. Yikes! Guess how I got there? Put "Scoop Sanderson" into the search engine.
Both of the regular resort Pin Trading Nights (ASSports & Contemporary) are from 7-10pm.
Also, Pop Century has a once-a-month Pin Trading Night on the first Saturday of the month from 4-7pm at "Everything Pop!"(food court).

Am still looking for details on any regular daily/weekly "events" at the DTD/Pin Traders and at WoD...

The official times for pin trading at the All Star Sports and Contemporary is from 7pm until 10pm. Also, there is pin trading at Pop Century on the first Saturday of every month from 4 pm to 7 pm.
The pin trading book at World of Disney is out 2 times a day - at 2:30 and 6:30, I think.

Thanks pippy27! I guess we were both online at once.
Anyone else have any more details about daily/weekly events at the DTD/Pin Traders and at WoD?

Thanks,
agnes!

"Official" times for the pin meets at All Star and Contemporary may say until 10pm, but I can assure that we have been there MUCH later...sometimes as late as 1am. We usually go during the week of a pin event though, so I would imagine that there are many more pin traders in WDW at those times.

Agnes, just wanted to point out that these meets are not like pin trading with lanyard wearing CMs. No one is obligated to trade. Everyone there is just like you or me and we trade only if the exchange is acceptable to both.

When I went to the one at All Star Sports in Sept 2005 it was only for like 10 and under. I was bummed.

There is a section for kids only. The adults are at the tables in the area and they are not supervised by CMs (although some should be LOL)

The kids area has been in the hallway for a few months now (near where the store is). You have to go to the back of the food court seating to see the adults trading. So if you don't go looking back there, you will only see the kids area.
