why lanyards?

[mmwood68]

I am a complete newbie--almost it's been 20+ years. I see posts about getting lanyards, what do you need them for?

If you are at all interested in pin trading and/or collecting, lanyards are a very easy way to display and hold all of your pins. Many of them also have an attachment to hold fastpasses, tickets, etc.

Plus, you can get many different styles of lanyards at Disney, and even starter sets, that include pins to trade.

Or for another reason, carrying your park pass in a clear zipper lanyard pocket makes it very handy for getting FastPasses and also being sure that you haven't inadvertantly left the park pass in a FastPass machine.
