I'm going to WDW with my best friend and her family from May 1 to May 15. I usually bring my trading bag to DLR, because I know where to find the pin traders there. Is there anywhere at WDW that people hang out and trade these days?

(Apologies if there's already a thread on this. Try searching for keywords "trading" or "WDW" and see what you get...) ;)
 
Well, I live in Winter Garden now and I would be happy to meet up with you and trade at some point. We have seasonal passes :) Most traders at WDW that I have seen are at the tables in Epcot next to the outside pin store.
 
Hi Michelle,
Like Zazu said, people trade at the tables at Epcot. I don't think it's as commonplace as people trading at DLR, but you might find someone. You can also try Pin Traders at Downtown Disney. People don't necessarily hang out to trade, but it IS the place to get pins and LE pins at that, so you could run into another trader while you're there. :)

I'm headed to Pin Traders this Saturday and will try to head back May 2nd to see if the BATB Character Connection puzzle is left. If you'll be there, let me know and we can meet up!

This is soooo tempting!! Dan & I arrive on May 3 & return home on May 9 (which happens to be my birthday :-). I'd love to go, but he thinks we'd be cutting it too close. We're meeting TiggerSue & her hubby on Friday for Flower & Garden, so maybe they'll convince him :wiggle:. Otherwise, if anyone is planning to be in the parks, post where you'll be & maybe we can meet up to trade!

I've always had good luck with traders at Epcot. I've noticed that there are more people on the weekends, and since you'll be there during Flower and Garden, I expect there will be some traders there to hit up the tourists or just be there for the event. However, as of my most recent trip in January, there are only 4 tables.

There are occasionally traders set up in DTD, but usually they only have a cork board with some Hidden Mickeys. I think Epcot is your best bet.
 
Hello If you know how to get to Osceola pky its easy (that will be on the Animal kingdom side) take Osceola pkwy to Seralago Blvd and make a right when you get to 192 it is the hotel directly on the right with a big Mcdonalds sign (also in same lot) should take about 15 min from OKW not far at all follow signs to AK but go the opposite way on Osceola pkwy Hope to see you there! Janet
