Pin Trading: Share Your Trades!

[simonandwendy626]

Hi,Fly_ with_ me_ Dumbo
You're welcome. Right. Here goes. For a speed pin trading trip there are several places which can almost 99% of the time give good trades.
If you're staying inside the resort we've found the best hotel shops to hit for trading are Sequoia Lodge and DisneyLand hotel. Sequoia because in August they seem to concentrate the  events there.
In Disney village the two big stores are great for trading and strangely the best times are the evening or just before the park closes.
In the park always hit the emporium. The cast members are friendly and they should be able to tell you roughly when Patrick or Franc are about. Then skip over to the Kodak shop and check out the lanyards there before heading up towards  Harringtons and then the pin trading station oposite Casey's corner.
I always have luck with cast members in Discoveryland. Varied lanyards.
And watch out for the cast members in Adventureland. Especially if you have Stitch on your lanyard. I was practically mugged by some stitchaholics there he he. :stitch_bounce:
Keep an eye out around Hakuna Matata. We bumped into some traders outside there, they'd taken over a table and were happy to see us. Bit of a language barrier though as they barely spoke english and our french is very bad :oops:  

Hope this helps. We're so  :mrgreen:  that you're going. Can we stow away in your pin bag?

Another tip I could give you and it may sound like a random one is be focus its so easy to get all carried away with pace thinking how many cm's are there that I could trade with here.  I've nearly missed few nice pins (one even happened to be an old LE) because I was so busy thinking about moving on to the next person and lanyard in an attempt to cram everything in to a short space of time!

Well we've just purchased some through Soraya in Mail order and I think they were around 8 Euros maybe a bit less. They arent the standard ones, they are the newer ones. I ordered a Tink, and Stitch and a Star Wars Mickey.
I think they are on Pin Pics.
