Hello! Do any of you collect Disney Pins? I've only been collecting for three months now but I've aquired about 20 or 30 from eBay. I haven't been to Disney since I've started collecting and I've never traded with anyone but I'm hoping to do so my next trip there.

I never have started. I know that I'd never be able to get all the Pluto one's and that would drive me nuts, so I've stayed away. The only one I have is Pluto in France, and that's a special gift from Andrea. I know that Pin Trading can get pretty intensive at the park though.

oh i collect disney pins. well, i've not been collecting the last couple months cuz it's so expensive. but i have a bunch of little mermaid ones. i also have some others meant for trading.

what characters do you collect? if i have any that you need, i would sell them to you at the price i bought them for at disneyland + shipping. let me go find links.

EDIT: here's a link for all my little mermaid pins.

and here are my trades. but i'm not sure this is completely up-to-date.

Hello! You have a very nice Little Mermaid collection starbabies! Since I haven't been collecting that long and don't have that many pins, I do not have a very large collection or trade list. At the moment, I don't have the moeny to purchase any pins from you but I'll definetely consider trading or buying from you in the near future! If you'd like, here is the link to my pinpics as well:My Pins!

:wow: Betty, you have so many pins! whoa


I didn't know people collected those until I went to Disney World back in November. I saw people wearing them on lanyards and stuff, and I always wondered what they were doing! I think it's neat, but I can't afford to collect anything else lol

Yeah it can be a big deal in the park. The employees wear random pins and you can trade with the employees to try and get different pins. Though with the employees they know how rare pins are so it can be hard to get certain pins from them.

Yeah I noticed that too! I was thinking...why are these kids constantly going up to these employees? Are they complimenting their pins?? lol

I almost bought some...but I resisted!

yeah, i discovered the pins when i went to disney world last june. i so much fun there. i traded with the cast members and bought all the little mermaid i could find. and then the obssession continued when i got home and i shopped on ebay for more.

disneyland doesn't feel as fun with the pin trading. the cast members are not as nice. they'd be like "i already have that one on my lanyard." it's not like it's theirs to keep. they're supposed to trade them away. and way more cast members were wearing the lanyards at disney world.

but yeah, i definitely went overboard with the pin collecting. that's why i have so many for trade/sell. i had to just stop all together to save money. :blush:

I first discovered the pin collecting craze when I went to Disney World and Downtown Disney in November. I had been to Disney a hundred times before then but I didn't realize there was in a whole pin trading community until I saw tons of people with their pin collections in the pin store and when my teacher told me about it. After the trip, I decided to collect pins and have been buying them on eBay. The next time I go to Disney though, I plan on trading.

Definitely do your research and figure out which pins are rare and which ones aren't. The employees generally know, and I know they don't usually have a problem trading your rare pin for their common one, so make sure you know what you have when you go. :pluto:

:thanksalot: for the advice Beethoven1808! Before I began collecting, my teacher told me about cast member pins and other special pins that got me interested in collecting. Before I hit eBay to start collecting some pins, I joined a board called Disboards and also visited Disney's Official Pin Trading Site to find out more information about them so when I do trade in the parks or with someone else, I'll know if the trade is equal on both sides. I wouldn't want to be scammed out of a good pin especially if it's LE or CM only pins.

I have quite a few, which you can see HERE. :blush: I used to be BIG into pin collecting for almost a year & half... but I kinda gave it up, though I will still buy pins from time to time online or from people, but mainly not anymore. I will buy them when I goto the parks as well. I don't care much if they are limited or not, though I like some alot that are limited. ;) I go for cuteness or characters I really love more. :)

I NEED TO HAVE THIS PIN! Please... sell it to me or someone help me get one... that is TOO cute. :love: I also love Chip'n'Dale & it is a must have pin I need. ;) I need to see what others are in that collection... but the Mickey ice cream bars are one of my favorite foods to get everytime I goto the parks. :smile:

I don't really collect any but when I went to Hong Kong Disneyland last year I bought some - mainly Christmas ones.

Just looked at the site - pretty cool! Didn't know it was such a big thing. All the ones I have are public ones:

Hello! I have the pin and it is very adorable! There is one on eBay right now that is currently $0.99 and it ends in 9 hours! If you're still looking for one, that would be a wonderful price to win it for! Good luck if you decide to bid! :)
