2019 pin releases
Ug, if that is the case I hope they are having a grace period. When I got home I found out the Oliver vinyl pin I bought was damaged; I was hoping to return it or exchange it this weekend if they still have any left. :/
I'm seeing posts from people at DLR that DTD has stopped selling pins. It will be in the parks only from now on. Also, returns and exchanges are no longer allowed on any pins. @timeerkat @starry_solo @ItzaPinfan @summerskin @pretty Omi @AvatarAng1 @alltheothercalipeopleIforgot

Not sure what this means. Are these groups saying that Pin Traders is closed and World doesn't sell pins anymore? I was there Thursday and they were both up and running with pins. Maybe DTD means something else and not Downtown Disney? Anyway, these posts made my heart stop for a minute. Don't know about the returns either. I think this could really hurt their business, but as a company, maybe they just don't care.Ha just came to make a thread about this, dang Tapatalk doesn’t alert me to my tags

WHAT?! That' the ultimate cash grab right there, you have to have tickets to get new pins.I'm seeing posts from people at DLR that DTD has stopped selling pins.

Yeah, except that so many have passes, they can just use those, or get friends who have them to go in. Or ultimately this could lead to more e-bay sales! Maybe Disney secretly works for e bay!WHAT?! That' the ultimate cash grab right there, you have to have tickets to get new pins.

Aren't there limits on how many pins you can buy? I'm sure there is on LE pins, and those are the more likely to make money on e bay. Resellers have been a problem for 19 years--this just doesn't seem like a likely solution to the problem. If it's your job, you'll buy the pass and go into the parks--making them more crowded. How could that help Disney? The no return policy maybe, but not stopping all selling in DTD.I’m thinking this is all to try to address the resellers, at least somewhat. I could see them buying up pins and then returning if they didn’t sell well. Also showing up as a massive group at DTD to get piles of the pins. This way they have to also have park tix so maybe fewer of them?
I think people are buying them to resell and when they do not sell, they return them before the return window ends. Just my gut feeling.Actually so at the last release I was at there was a woman with like a massive pile of pins on the counter. I was amazed at how much she was buying and I said out loud, wow you’re buying all those pins? And she goes oh I got in trouble, I’m returning them.
While she is just one case, and can completely understand over spending in the excitement, rules don’t usually change unless there is crazy abuse going on. Curious to see how this all plays out with no DTD and returns allowed.
What’s the vibe about this in the other pin groups? I’m not too dialed in.

Thanks for the info. I can't imagine why Disney wants more people in the parks! Resellers I'm sure have passes already, but perhaps they want more people to buy passes to get pins? Really don't understand the decision. I have the signature pass, so that's not my problem, I just liked the convenience of going to Downtown Disney some of the time where it's not so busy. Actually, it would make more sense to me if they only sold LEs OUTSIDE the park to eliminate some overcrowding of people just popping in to get a pin and leave. Or are they trying to slow down pin buying altogether??? I know the crazy lines for pins like the window ones usually occurred outside the park--and that seemed better than making it happen inside the parks. I just can't interpret what they're doing--what problem they're trying to solve...or what? I'll be incredibly depressed if this policy continues.No the pin shop isn’t closing, DTD does mean Down Town Disney, it’s specifically no LE pin releases outside of the park. The pin shop, stand, and WOD will all still sell OE pins.
