Cheap Disney Pins

One of the biggest things that has grown on people the last few years when visiting Walt Disney World is the collecting of pins.  The pins are popular amongst people of all ages, from collecting your favorite character to your favorite ride or resort location, the pins are wildly popular.

Disney has always had pins of some type, but it wasn't until around 1999, in preparation for the year 2000 celebration at Disney, that the pins became mainstream at Disney. 

Not only can you buy the Disney pins at several locations in each resort and theme park, but cast members and other guests often are looking around for people to make trades with.  While many of the pins are traditionally ranging in price from $6.95 US and up, there are several pins that have brought as much $500 US on eBay.

Another popular option to find pins is online pin trading and sales.  Many different places online offer the chance for people to make trades directly with each other.  You can also find numerous stores online that specialize in Disney pins, however some of the pins are either mass produced and readily abundant or there have also been fakes.  Use caution and stick to a reputable company if you purchase pins online from a source other than a Disney store or website.

While common sense and courtesy should be valued in any trade of Disney pins, sometimes that isn't enough.  Disney has published a Disney Pin Trading Etiquette guide that is full of useful information and tips to make your pin trading and collecting more enjoyable and exciting.

Here are a few etiquette tips:

• To trade a pin with a Disney cast member, the pin must be made of metal and have a representation of a Disney character, park, attraction, icon, or other official affiliation. Additionally, the pin must have a Disney copyright on its back.
• Guests must trade with Cast Members, one pin at a time, with the pin back in place (pins have functional sharp posts)
• Guests can make up to 2 pin trades per cast member per day
• Refrain from touching another person’s pins or lanyard, ask to see the pin so they can bring the pin into closer view
• The pin that is traded to the cast member cannot be a duplicate of any pin they already have on their lanyard.
• No money can change hands on Disney property in exchange for a pin.
