I'll sound like a broken record, but its good to hear that your first experience went well! There's times when you go to the trading tables and you make some great trades with really nice people, and then there are those days where you have stern faced, almost sad looking people with their pins. As for the best days to go, weekends are always good, but if you're thinking during the week, Thursdays seem to be good days for pins (at least in my experience).

Thank you! :)
 
I am so happy you had a great first pin trading day! Connie is a sweetheart she was there for me through a tough time she messaged me everyday near enough and she was even kind enough to send me some things for cross-stitching which I am new to, hugs for you Connie :hug: you're a star!!

Aww that's a lovely story. I might be going to WDW in December and am quite nervous about approaching people. If only people had "jerk" or "fun" on their foreheads it would be much easier :D

LOL, yes that would make many things in life so much easier!

Docufish2- Thanks for advice. Now that I know, I will certainly try to let folks here know the next time I'm at the parks!
Mmiano- Thanks,for the kind words.
 
So everybody who has been too shy to trade in person, please if you can make it to Disneyland April 3-8 come find me at the tables, we need to get you people trading!!!! Also if you know you are going to be there, let me know about it!!!

I have never traded in person and I CAN NOT wait until I get there in April and have David at my side helping me get started. I, too, am on the shy side. :)

Michelle and others, I truly hope you all can make it and we can all trade. I think we're gonna have a blast!!!!
 
That's such a great story. Very encouraging for those of us who haven't ever tried trading with people (non-CM) at the park. I have the same reservations- and especially reading about people being turned away and told to see a Cast Member for trades. :(

I'm in Florida though- are there good areas at WDW to meet other pin traders?

Thanks!
Melanie
 
Way to go! Yes Connie is an absolute sweetheart! <3 I met her at Marisa and Sebe's party and we have been friends ever since :)

Nice haul for a first time too ;) Love that BatB pin!
