Pin Trading at Disney World

If you have been to Disney World before, I am sure you remember the Pin Trading! If this is your first trip, you will soon be caught up with the pin trading craze. Pin trading is bigger and better than ever. Everyone loves to trade pins from the young to old. It's a great souvenir to remember a special moment, your favorite Character, or your favorite ride. Plus, pins can be an inexpensive way to remember your vacation.

You can trade pins with other guests in areas like Pin Traders Store at Downtown Disney or as you are waiting in lines at the parks. You can also trade pins with Cast Members. Be sure to watch for Cast Members wearing a lanyard with pins. Every week, Cast Members get a new set of pins that they can add to their lanyard. These pins are not sold to the public so they are extra special. For more information about pin trading and etiquette, click here.

You can purchase pins at Disney World at the merchandise stores or even online before your vacation. If you purchase them online, buy on a Monday for the free shipping. Every Monday is free shipping for trading pins.
