Where in WDW can I buy a lanyard?

[DisneyJules]

Hey I have a nice little collection of disney pins which sit in my dresser all year long. I'd like to get them out and wear them on a lanyard when we go to WDW in a few days. Where in the park can I buy a lanyard and how much do they cost?
Thanks,

I have no idea on the cost but you can get them EVERYWHERE! I would look in any shop that has the pins even a resort gift shop. Right now each person in a party gets one if you book the UPH package through WDW Travel.

That's good to hear, thank-you!

They are every where-- each park has atleast one "pin station" --- and they can be found in all the hotels. I think they are about 8.50 and rather plain. Although I think they also have starter kits that include a lanyard and 4 pins (2 of each style, 1 to keep and 1 to trade) You may also be able to find them at places like target or walmartor even a sporting store, and they will probably be cheaper. You could also post over on dizpins.com and see if anyone has one for sale or trade.

If these are older pins I would highly recommend getting pin locks or even leaving them home, unless youplan on trading. Disney now sells pin locks at the pin stations -- they are little metal circles you put on your pin and carefully tighten with a tool included in the kit. They keep the pins on very securely so you don't have to worry about losing them.

My kids bought cool lanyards at the pin store in DD. For $12 they got a scorcerer Mickey one and Nightmare before Christmas was also $12.

Thanks Heather, funny, I was just thinking of a way to make sure they are secure, some are special ones from Disneyland and I really don't want to lose them.

Thanks guys, 5 more days
