UPDATE FURTHER DOWN
Hey guys,
We've had a great first day here at WDW and I wanted to update you guys on my experience with trading so far. We got to Hollywood Studios in time for rope drop, so we were able to hit a lot of the cm's right as they came on (including managers). I think in total I traded about 16 pins today. The CM's mainly had hidden mickeys and other pins from starter collections on their lanyards. I didn't see anything hard to find that I couldn't live without. Spiffie had told me about a new set that cm's just got and she is right, they are nice and heavy pins. I think there are 7 pins in the set, and I already found 3 of them today. I just went through all the pins I got today and 3 are definitely scrappers The only other negative is that with the weather, all the cm's are wearing coats and several of them seem bothered by the fact that they had to open their coat or take off their gloves to trade. We also have hit Downtown Disney for ice cream and I had a great trading experience with two adorable little boys in the pin shop. They picked out two pins that they liked and I told them to give me whatever. I was shocked that they gave me two older limited edition pins and tried to talk them into giving me something not so great, but they were set on giving us those two pins. I also found two little girls on our bus today who have just started trading and I gave them each a vinylmation pin. You would have thought I gave them the moon.
If anyone else needs anything, let me know So far, I have found everyone's ISO list. They do NOT have reveal/conceal princess sets and Spiffie, no Figment sets that I have seen. I was surprised to still see Trade City merchandise at DTD pin traders.
That's it for now, we are doing Epcot tomorrow so I'll try to report on my experience there
