Welcome aboard, Angela! Disney Cruise Line has so much to offer, but one of the things my kids love to do most is trade pins with the Cast Members onboard.
In fact, usually on the last night of the sailing, they even offer Officer Pin Trading Night, where lots of the ship's officers line up with lanyards and pins to trade with guests. That is a favorite for our family!
There are plenty of Disney Cruise Line pins and lanyards for sale onboard the ships in the gift shops. If you're looking for a wide variety of Disney Cruise specific pins and lanyards, that's the best place to buy them. Alternatively, check out Disneystore.com for different Disney-themed lanyards and trading pins. I even found a
Disney Cruise Line Lanyard Wallet available for sale there. That's really nice because it also provides a spot for Key To The World Cards which each guest will be issued.
Some guests will order lanyards and pins on Ebay, but beware that some people sell unofficial copies of pins that are not real Disney trading pins, so you may want to stick to reputable online spots like Disney Store for the pins. But, for other lanyards, a quick search on Google for Disney lanyards turns up all sorts of options if you're not finding your favorites on Disneystore.com.
Have fun planning, Angela!
