Coming to WDW in August!

[NChouser]

We finalized our plans and we will be arriving at WDW on Saturday August 11th after driving straight from Harrisburg PA!

We will be going to Magic Kingdom on Sunday the 12th and then Hollywood Studios on the 13th. That night we are then heading down to Tampa FL for the rest of the week to visit my wifes family.


I have been hearing things about a Disney outlet store near the parks? Where is this! I must go!

Also if any of you will be in those parks or at downtown disney on Saturday I would love to say hello! Put a face to all you nice people!


Any other tips or tricks in the area for pin trading? I will be going CRAZY with trading and buying ( do not mention this to the wife)


Thanks for any advice! This will be my first time down since I started collecting! I went in September but really had no idea what was going on or how to take full advantage of the pin trading while I am down there

The Disney outlet store near the parks is THE best!
Theres three so I'm not exactly sure which one is closest but I'm thinking its the one I go to on I-Drive, heres the link to the mall:
http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=96

I could be totally off on the store though too sorry aha!

Also when I was looking for that link I found this place thats a warehouse for buying and selling Disney stuff?
Don't know what the quality is like or if its even worth your time, or honestly if anything would be real there aha, but it could be promising!

As for the pins I can't help because I'm in the same situation as you, first started looking into the pin trading last time I was there

Have fun ! I hope you have a great trip (with lots of successful outlet purchases too ;D)

Theme Park Connection is AWESOME.... definitely a place you will want to check out. It is about 20 minutes from disney, but they have a lot of pins for OK prices. They have a wall of older pins for $3 a piece, and a few racks of more expensive pins that generally change weekly. They also have a whole room of different paper disney memorabilia. From books, menus, event flyers, brochures... you name it. THey also have a warehouse of tons of different disney props and cast member costumes. Some things are expensive though. I saw a Splash Mountain "You may get wet" sign for (i think) $800, and they have actual stained glass tiles from Cinderella's Castle for about the same price I think. I also saw that they had a few Casey's Corner Windows for sale.
