Hey Shelley!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I am so happy to have you as a new “pin pal!”
Shelley, it seems that your son is talking about
Disney Pin Trading — one of the most exciting and interactive experiences available at Walt Disney World Resort! Disney Pin Trading has been in existence since 1999, and is a delightful tradition perfect for Guests of all generations.
Disney Pin Trading is very simple. Just visit Walt Disney World Resort, locate a friendly Cast Member wearing a lanyard filled with colorful Disney pins and find a pin you would like to trade for. Once you locate a pin you want, you present another Disney pin to the Cast Member. You then complete the trade and add your new Disney pin to your collection. It really is that simple!
You can purchase Disney pins to trade in person at Walt Disney World Resort or in advance of your vacation. Many Guests, including myself, purchase them in advance in order to be ready to start trading right away!
Disney Mom Tip: Shelley, you can find a complete
list of Disney Pin Trading guidelines by visiting this link. In fact, you can even print it out and use it as a reference sheet while on your magical vacation.
If you have any additional questions, you are welcome to return to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We would love to help you plan a pixie-dusted vacation. I hope you and your son enjoy Disney Pin Trading!
Wishing you an Unforgettable Visit,
Priscila
