How to Start Pin Trading

How to Start Pin Trading? This can seem a bit intimating at first. But you can start with as little as 1 pin if you wanted. First, purchase any amount of pins to begin trading. I always suggest the starter packs that come with a lanyard. They are the most bang for your buck & it gives you everything you need to get started! If you want to grab your starter pack or pins before your first park day at Disney Springs they a whole store dedicated to pin trading that is full of options. But they also have pins as World of Disney & at most resort gift shops. Next, you bring your pins to the park. When you see a cast member wearing a pin lanyard or a pin board, these look like cork boards. Some are in fun shapes or decorated. But there are also mystery pin boards which have little box drawers to choose from & there are even more unique "boards" like at Hollywood Studios they have a pinboard traffic cone!} you approach them and ask them to trade with you. Show them what pin you want & give them one of your pins in return. But, if they already have the same pin you are trying to give them, you do have to choose something different to trade. They are not allowed to have more than one of the same pins on their board. & That's it! It's that easy! You may even come across other guests that are pin traders, as well! We have been approached by other pin traders asking to trade & we have done the same. We have met some really neat people & cast members while trading.
