So happy to find so many good pins on boards and lanyard!!

 With my daughters and mine recent trip to WDW for the After Dark event (didn't get tickets but went anyway) and while the event and pins a hot topic for discussion, I wanted to just give a shout out to Disney and the pins we found and traded for just with reg CMs at the resorts, Disney Springs & at MK while we were there for the Halloween party. 

  We got there Thur afternoon and left Sat night. Did a ton of other things and went to different events but we still made time for reg trading with CMs and it did not disappoint!!

  It's so discouraging as a pin fan to go from board to board and lanyard to lanyard and see nothing but the same old fakes and scrappers. That was not the case this time!! While it was just the two of us there were many great pins leftover and added that we saw others put on. It was just very uplifting to see more and more good pins and people putting good pins back for the next pin hunter. 

  So if you're planning an upcoming trip, definitely load up on your traders because I think Disney has really been working hard on filling those boards and lanyards up with better stuff as well as the cast members themselves who also like to trade. We can't wait to go back!

Here is a pic of our couple day haul and my favorite for the 3 in sec photo. Finding back to back 2004 Mickey & Friend characters with an Alice theme and the little vintage gold silhouette Mickey mouse pin Now to find more of the Mickey Friend Alice series. The hunt continues!!

Loved seeing these pics, and it's great to hear that you guys had such a fun time trading. This gets us really excited for our trip, since we'll definitely be sure to pack pins and lanyards. Last time we were down the trading hadn't really started up again.
