Well hello there Terkina,

It depends exactly when you go. Although this time of year the turn over on cast lanyards is fast so you'll be sure to find a few which will interest you. And there will be a lot of pin traders, new and old around the parks.
I'm always a little unsure as to how many to take myself so my rucksack usually goes with me. I carry this, full of pins plus my bum bag and a lanyard or two. Bear in mind I have also done this on a day trip. :oops:
You never know when you'll bump into a die hard trader. Or find a cast member with really awesome pins on their own lanyard which they're willing to trade.
And as I have said before, hit the following shops first and last. Emporium, Kodak shop. Harringtons. And if its sunny the pin trading cart oposite Casey's Corner!

Hope this helps and don't hesitate to ask  any other questions. We're not really up on trading over here due to our jobs conflicting with our social lives but I'm sure someone else on the forum will be happy to oblige. :thumbs:

Have a disney Day

Aloha
