2023 Pin Discussion & Pin Releases 💬

those are really cute, I understand why you would want them. Did you get any unique/cute pins on your cruise?
I have heard that the 25th cruises are really nice.

I was on the Fantasy and was told they never received any of the 25th Anniversary pin. There also wasn’t any Fantasy specific pin. This was my first time on the Fantasy and I’ve got ship specific pins of the others I’ve been on so was really hoping for that. I kind of had the sense Fantasy is getting overlooked for the Wish since Wish is newer and they are the two ships always out of Canaveral.

On the plus side, the 25th stuff was otherwise cool and there is a new pin with purchase mystery set since the last time I cruised and I was able to get all 6 plus repeats of the two my dad wanted (Chip and Dale) relatively easily. I also picked up a few other pins and made a few good trades with ship and WDW resort pinboards. Overall, pleased with it despite the disappointments on a couple pins I went in expecting to get.

I’ll try to do a post soon of everything from the trip. Unfortunately, got home Saturday, had a scratchy throat that morning I didn’t think much of, it got worse as the day went on, and I decided when I got home to do a COVID test since I had some handy and it was positive. Sunday and Monday I was absolutely miserable and am only now starting to feel better. Still haven’t unpacked a thing.

So sorry you came home sick with COVID, ugh. Glad you're starting to feel a little better. Please continue to take care of yourself. I look forward to seeing pictures from your trip!

I haven't seen any of the Off the Page pins in person yet, but I really love the artwork. I think I am going to have to try to collect the set. I am almost done with the storybooks so I guess that will be my next mission.

Sounds like you were on the same cruise.. The pin selection was awful.. we had issues with the CMs changing the ‘spending requirement’ for the pwp pins so we ended up one short..

If the one you’re short is Minnie, someone left that on my pin trading banner so I have an extra. Otherwise, my Dad and I felt the pins through the wrapping to get exactly what we needed and a nice cast member let us buy 8 even though we only had enough other merchandise for 5. I was surprised when they tried to limit the number at all as my previous cruise PWP was spending enough to meet the minimum meant you could buy as many at that time as you wanted.
