We're going to DL! Any pin tips?

[hightown]

We're new to pin collecting and this will be first trip to DL. Any tips on how to go about finding new and collectible pins? Like at the pin shops/carts are the LE or new special pins put away so you have to ask? Is there any one shop that will carry special editions or just all over the parks. Do the carts around ride exits have special pins for that attraction sometimes?

Is there a 'holy grail' (picked that up from these boards!) in the parks now that I should look for?

Is there anywhere set up in DTD that has pin traders commonly gathered?

We hit disney store over the last couple of months and scored alot of 75% off pins to have as traders. Then on whim booked this trip to DL 3/2-6. Can't believe I did that and we leave Sunday!

Thanks for your help and tips. Sorry if these are silly questions...

Well first I would say... Have fun!!! If it is your first time trading you may want to get a brochure on trading tips. Most of the pin stations will have them. You may want to start out with CM's as they are pretty easy to tade with...

As for a Holy Grail. Well it will depend on what you really want and a pin you have to have. It is different for everyone.

Have a safe and fun trip!!!
