We were hard core traders that have taken off pin trading for several years. We dusted off the pin books as we get ready for our trip to wdw and a cruise in a few weeks. Do people still trade at the parks or anywhere downtown? Not sure it is worth bringing our better traders. Thanks for the feedback.
 
Hello There are usually 2 tables at Epcot pin Central but they do remove them for events so you never know if they will be there; there are also 2 pin trading groups that have meets near Disney 2x per month next scheduled meets for June are the 13th & 20th I have copied Facebook links here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Central-Florida-Disney-Pin-Chasers/433263703364412 and https://www.facebook.com/MousePinTrading I hope to see you when you are in town! Enjoy your trip! Janet ppid Carmello1123
 
Yeah I was there last week and on the weekend there were 2 people with pin books trading at the tables in epcot
 
Exactly Jabberwocky! I think we are a bit out of practice. Fingers hurt from placing pins back in bags... REALLY out of shape. We are trying to change our reservation and go to the PTN on June 19th....
 
LOL Have fun! I think you'll find it's a very different pin world out there than it used to be!

Oh, and hey, if you have any Wonderland pins left to trade... PM me. There are still a handful I'm missing - basically just the impossible stuff, but you never know who has what lying around!
 
I brought my trader book to the tables by the pin store in Epcot on a Sunday last month when we were there, and made quite a few good trades (and I only had a couple hours available)! It was kind of funny because I walked up to a small group of people who'd clearly been there for a while trading with each other, and they all practically pounced on me like "NEW MEAT."
 
I brought a smaller book or pins last week when I went. I carried those pins to every park but only at Epcot did I see anyone. The cruise was a waste of time too. But at least at Epcot I got lucky and got 1 Star Tours pin I have been missing for 4 years.

I did trade at Hollywood Studios but it was by happenstance as I was opening my SWW droid mystery boxes and someone else was there too and we swapped one that each of us needed. I'd like to see more Star Wars / Star Tours trading going on at SWW's.
 

Did they not have the trading with the officers on the cruise night anymore?
 
I would say Epcot tables are the best place I did lots of trades there last October I even managed to get the lady and the tramp podm I would afternoons are best for traders being there but I did put my book of traders there and I was the only one but then people started to come over to see my pins hope his helps

They did but it was all junk and full of scrappers. All of WDW was completely filled with scrappers. Saw tons of people trading hidden mickeys still in the zip lock baggies from eBay. Just sad. The Mediteranean cruise I did in 2013 had the best trading and a repositioning on the California Coast was ok. But this last cruise was on the Dream and it was all kids with all scrappers and almost no good officer pins to be found.
 
I did see some guys set up trading somewhere else. I forget where though, i think a restaurant. Maybe they were in a power scooter? Actually I think was at the DTD pin traders store because I didn't have pins with me, I just walked over from my hotel nearby.
 
I have heard but not actually seen for myself that people trade at Starbucks in DTD WDW If you have your pins with you might be worth it to stop in Janet
