Hello Barry and welcome to planDisney! How wonderful to see you here today.
It's truly so exciting when your family has a much-awaited trip to Walt Disney World Resort to look forward to. There's nothing better than a good ol' Disney countdown, and you can discover some fun countdown suggestions in our
Panel Extras - Countdown to your Disney Vacation!
Although I don't trade any of my beloved Disney Pins, I do adore collecting them from stores like
Disney Pin Traders! I simply can't wait to see the EARidescent designs for the 50th anniversary Disney Trading Pins which are sure to be released as part of
The World's Most Magical Celebration beginning on October 1st, 2021.
As we continue to
Return to a World of Magic at Walt Disney World Resort I'm happy to share that
Guests are more than welcome to trade Disney Pins with Cast Members in select locations by using pin-boards. However, to maintain current physical distancing measures and to keep both Guests and Cast Members safe and healthy, Cast Member pin trading with lanyards is not currently available.
Likewise, at this time
Disney Character greetings still remain paused. Barry, I am more than happy to share that Guests are indeed able to wave a cheery
Hello! to some of their favourite
Disney Characters as they appEAR in impromptu parades and cavalcades in the Disney Theme Parks. Additionally, Guests are also able to take physically distanced photos with Disney characters when enjoying
Disney Character Dining experiences at select Disney restaurants.Barry, if you should have any further questions about your September plans to visit the magic and wonder of Walt Disney World Resort with your dear family, then please do pop back to
planDisney to ask me another question. I'm always happy to help.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
