Disney Pin Trading

Disney Pin Trading

Are you looking for a way to make your IMG_5548next trip to Disney a little more magical? Have you ever tried pin trading? With all the collections and series to choose from, there are pins out there for everybody. And what makes it even more fun is that you get to interact with the cast members while trading. Each cast member at every merchandise location has a full lanyard of new pins. They are always excited to trade with you and sometimes they even make a game out of it. If you see a pin with the back facing forward then you found a mystery pin. Depending on the cast member you can either choose that pin or answer a trivia question to see it. Whether it’s a mystery pin or a visible pin, it’s always fun to find all the pins you need to collect the set.

Even though the cast members are always eager to trade and interact with you. There are always rules to this fun filled game. Here are the top 7 rules to remember while pin trading.

1. Make sure to ask the cast member to see their lanyard without touching or grabbing their land yard without permission.

2. Don’t feel obligated to trade. If they don’t have a pin you need, it’s okay! Just thank them anyway.

3. If you would like to trade, tell the cast member which one you need and which one you are trading.

4. There is a limit of 2 pins per trade.

5. Make sure to put the pin back on the pin before handing it to the cast member. This prevents anyone from getting poked.

6. Keep your hand open so the cast member can place the pin on your hand without dropping it.

7. Thank the cast member for the trade and they will do the same.

Pin trading is fun for all ages and the perfect way to interact with the cast. You can purchase starter packs of pins that come with lanyards at most merchandise locations. You can also buy individual pins and lanyards. There are also pin specific locations in each park that have exclusive pins. Next time you are in Disney, don’t forget to check out the pin trading works. Happy trading!

Creative Ways To Tell Your Partner You Love Them This Valentine’s Day

Wouldn’t you agree that we not only want to be loved, but also to be told we are loved? Valentine’s Day is the occasion when you can experience and express both.

Here are some creative ways to tell your partner you love them this Valentine’s Day:

• Serve them breakfast in bed. Trim the tray with Hershey Kisses and a note card with a short love letter.

• Write a small book of all the reasons you love your partner.

• Take him/her on a scavenger hunt. Have them answer riddles to find the clues to items that you placed somewhere around town. The last item should lead them to your Valentine’s Day activities.

• Plan a small getaway at a bed and breakfast or spa for the week or weekend.

• Give your lady a dozen roses and on each stem attach a little note with a reason you love them.

• Take your spouse or partner to the restaurant that you enjoyed when you first met. This will help you both relive many memories.

• Order take out and have a picnic on the living room floor. This is a great way to involve your children and also enjoy the comforts of your own home.

• Hide little candy hearts in your spouses or partners belongings. (Ex. Shoes, car, jacket, purse, etc.)

• Make a creative coupon book (Ex. Free massage, free night out with the guys, etc.)

• Buy their favorite perfume/cologne and place it next to their bedside with a box of chocolates or flowers.

• Leave a mirror message. Your partner will wake up to a loving message while brushing their teeth and getting ready.

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day with your loved one. Remember, love is not meant to be given and received just on Valentine’s Day. It’s to be practiced every single day of the year.
