Pin Trading Guidelines for Guests

Pin Trading Events

Schedule

5:00pm – 9:00pm Open Pin Trading
7:00pm Pin Education

All events will take place in the main hotel ballroom.

The most important guideline to remember is to have fun collecting or trading the Disney pins you like.

  • The main criteria to judge whether a pin is tradable or not is that it must be a metal pin bearing a “©Disney” mark on the back that represents a Disney Event, Place or Location, Character or Icon.
  • Pins should be in good, undamaged, tradable condition.
  • For a fair trading experience, please trade one pin at a time, hand to hand with pin backs attached.
  • Please refrain from touching a Guest’s pins or lanyard. If you need a closer look, kindly ask the Guest wearing the lanyard if she or he can bring it into clearer view for you.
  • Monies, gifts or receipts may not be exchanged or used in trade for a pin.
  • Pins from other business units of The Walt Disney Company (i.e. ABC, ESPN) are accepted for trade. Pins that show a Disney, Disneyland®Resort, or Walt Disney World®Resort affiliation are accepted for trading.
  • Plastic pins, rubber pins or other non-metal pins are not acceptable for trading.
  • “Personalized Name” pins are not accepted for trade. “Broche style” or “clasp pins” are not accepted for trade.

Guests suspected of abusing the guidelines or the pin trading process may be subject to, among other things, removal from the event premises.
