PIN TRADING TIPS

Yes I Am Ready To Trade! Here are some tips I found! But of course Disney Freeks have to test it out before its true!

-Some cast members wear a teal colored lanyard at Disneyland and a green lanyard at Walt Disney World with pins people should be on the lookout for because there are often some unique pins available on them for trading

-There are a few special tips that can also help collectors to make the most of their pin trading adventures. The first tip is to look for Disney managers who are wearing pin lanyards. The store, park, and resort managers often have some of the best pins on their lanyards for trading

-One of the best kept Disney secrets for pin trading is that many of the resort shops keep a special pin board that kids can request to trade off of once each day. The pin boards are often stocked with some harder to find pins and each child can make two trades off of the pin board each day. The Disney Pin Store in Downtown Disney also has a very large pin board, but the times are random when it is opened up for trading

APRIL 2009

OK...SOMEONE HAS TO GO TO DISNEYLAND TO SEE IF THE NEW STREET PARTY PARADE IS GOING TO BE OK FOR BROOKLYN! WE VOLUNTEER!! HEADING DOWN SATURDAY APRIL 4TH!!! CAN'T WAIT...IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST???? ONE MONTH! OR SO?? EXCITED TO GO....I WONDER HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO BEAT DILLON'S TOY STORY SCORE??
SUSAN AND BILL JUST SOLD THEIR 3RD OF 4 PINS PURCHASED IN JANUARY. THIS WAS A "WRISTBAND EVENT" AS ALL PIN NERDS KNOW! YOU GET A WRISTBAND AND STAND IN A 45MINUTE LINE, ALTHOUGH WE HAD NO IDEA WHY WE WERE IN THE LINE...WE DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT WE COULD BUY! BUT IF WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A WRISTBAND....WHY NOT WAIT. WE HAD TO GO AROUND THE BUILDING AND LOOK FOR THE CAST MEMBER WHO WOULD BE AT A SECRET DOOR TO LET YOU IN. SOUNDED GOOD AT THE TIME! WE THEN STOOD INSIDE AN OLD INDOOR LINE FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT RIDE...THE BUILDING WAS BETWEEN BUZZ LIGHTYEAR AND THE STAGE WHERE THE BANDS PLAY! ONCE WE MADE IT TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, YOU WERE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE 2 PINS PER PERSON/WRISTBAND. THEY WERE LIMITED EDITION (1000) PIECE OF HISTORY AUTOPIA PINS @14.00. SO WE EACH BOUGHT 2, JUST CUZ!
ANYWAY....MY 3RD PIN SOLD FOR 47.00 ON EBAY YESTERDAY! HOW FUN!! I CAN TURN THAT INTO AT LEAST 25-30 PINS TO TRADE AT THE PARK!
PIN TRADERS.....WATCH OUT!!! I HEAR CLAYTON IS READY TO TRADE TOO!

DILLON HAS SOME PINS THAT ARE THE "PRIZES" ON THE TOY STORY RIDE!! THE FOX AND THE DEAR I THINK!

WILL UPDATE SOON!
