Where to buy newly released pins?

[BloggerDisney]

Hello,

On Tuesday my Dad and I are heading to Disneyland Paris, and we are very excited about our trip! I'm really into Pin collecting, and since we haven't been since I've started collecting pins, I'm hoping to buy a few new pins to add to my collection. Naturally, I have been enthusiastically following DLP's monthly pin releases, and amongst this month's selection I have spotted some open edition pins which I'm really keen to get. They are released next Saturday, which is our last day- we plan to leave the park around 3pm to begin the drive home.

However, this is only my second time to DLP, with the first being back in 2005 when I was only 7 and wasn't collecting pins. Therefore, I have very little knowledge or experience of how DLP releases its open edition pins. I would be really grateful if somebody could indicate to me where these pins will be available, as I wasn't sure whether they'll only be available in a couple of shops due to it being their release day, even if they are open edition pins. Are they likely to be available at most pin locations, or is there a certain place I will need to go to buy them due to them having only just been released?

Thank you in advance, and have a magical day!

Open Edition pins are available in most stores - hotel boutiques, Emporium, World of Disney to name a few. Usually they come out a few days before the official release. You should have no problem finding them.

LE pins are nowadays released at Pueblo (the main pin store) on Saturdays and don't hit other stores until the Monday after.

Not a pin collector myself but one of the shops on Main Street (I think it's Harrington's Fine China and Porcelains) always seems to have all the current month's limited edition pins displayed by the till. Also worth noting that on every monthly pins announcement (see for example here for June 2014), they mention that you can also get them by contacting mail order. And now that I look at it, it does state that some are exclusively available at the Pueblo store...

Thank you so much to you both for your help- the information you have provided is fantastic and has really put my mind at rest! I'm now off to get some sleep, as we leave for DLP in six hours! And of course, I am soooo excited right now- I may not get to sleep!

Thank you again, I hope that you have a truly magical day!
