From Disney trading pins presented to Walt Disney World, theme parks to celebrate the millennium, pin trading has become one of the main reasons that some collectors look forward to visiting the parks. It is a fun way to interact with both cast members and other park guests and if you go to a theme park alone is a great way to start a conversation and meet some new friends.
Walt Disney World Resort has pin trading stations and kiosks located in each of the parks, with the higher places, titled Pin Central, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and the World of Disney Store in Downtown Disney. A central location pin feature often large gatherings of pin collectors showing their albums and make some pin trading. Pin trading is also popular at Disneyland in California and some of the international Disney theme parks, but you will find most of the action in Orlando and Anaheim.
If you're new to pin trading and are not comfortable approaching people to ask if they would like to trade with you, it is best to begin to operate with Disney cast members. All employees who have Disney pins to trade is a barbed cord around your neck or kept in a string of hip. " To make pin trading fun for kids, Disney has recently introduced several strings of colors to indicate that some members of the cast are traded only with children ages 3-12. At Walt Disney World, this cord is green and the blue-green is Disneyland. So you must be under 12 years to trade pins with a cast member by using one of these cords. Adult guests are free to trade with any other color cast using cord.
Disney has also published a guide to pin trading etiquette, but most rules are common sense and courtesy. For example, if a member of the cast is busy with another guest, will have to wait your turn. You must not remove or even touch a pin used by a member of the cast. Keep cord away from your body so you can look at all, then simply tell them that you would like to trade and eliminate you. All pins are traded hand to hand. These rules are best followed in the negotiation with other customers, since many people are actually wearing their pins and helps avoid misunderstandings. If you are invited to a trade that has a disk instead of a lanyard, it is always polite to ask first before handling the pins and make sure your hands are clean! It is also worth noting that you are not obligated to trade. It's perfectly fine to just look for someone else without the realization of the pins of the trade!
Cast, while members are required to participate in trade pins with guests, Disney has created norms and to avoid some of the abuses that took place when the pin trading frenzy began several years ago - this means that all the pins trade should be the correct style - a Disney-issued pin made of metal. Pins with names they can not be traded with a cast and the members will not be able to double trade and sideburns. Therefore, if a member of the cast is already using a pin to give to them, you'll need to select a pin from his hiding place. If you decide to purchase pins before visiting the parks, only to trade, then it is a good idea to make sure they are all unique. In addition, you can only trade with each cast member twice. But do not worry about that, because there are many pin-trading cast members in the parks and all members of the cast dowel and kiosks in the stations took cords so they can trade with you.
If you want to start trading, or simply prefer to build their own collection of shopping, there are sets of Disney Pin Starter you can buy to get going. You can also buy pins to be used only for Disney Pin Trading.
