Orlando area pin stores

Outside of WDW, what are some pin stores to visit?

You can go to Character Warehouse at the outlets that usually carry some Disney pins. Other than that, there's Walmart, Target, Walgreens all carry licensed Disney pins. Some of the touristy shops have pins in them with the caveat that they also carry scrappers. This goes for Disney memorabilia shops that you can find around the area. I won't name any specifics, because of that statement. There are people that speculate that they purchase pins from those who get them with a five-finger discount as well.

That being said, I have heard good things about TD Collectibles. I have never been there myself, so I can't say whether or not their reputation precedes it. So, that could be a fun trip.

It's depressingly dry here, actually. You'd think there'd be little mom and pop style collectible stores, or that some of the comic book stores would have stuff, but it never seems to happen here. There's the ones Chubs mentioned, and that's about it (to the best of my knowledge). Anaheim and Tokyo both have us beat, as far as the secondary market goes.

There is a gift shop near the Wizard/ichiban Chinese buffet on 192 that buys and sells pins- while scrappers are obviously mixed in there is a lot of old basic stuff with some occasional treasures- price point is a bit high for most but I’ve negotiated most down
