Good Spots for Trading in Disney World?

[poohstiks26]

ok, one more question before my trip, i swear! does anyone have recommendations for good places to trade in Disney World? i'm going to be down there with my friend from the 11th to the 16th and we are planning to attend the pin trading gathering at all-star sports, but once we get into the parks i'm not sure where to go (other than cast lanyards). i've also been told to ask about a mystical pin trader named skip? thank you to all my pin forum friends for your advice!

There are a few trading tables at Epcot. I did my first in person trade there and enjoyed it though I made sure the older couple got more out of it than I did I did find one or two individuals to be a bit 'snotty' but overall the majority of them was nice. Most of them had large pin trading books and from what I could tell, all authentic scrapper free pins.

Also, if you are able, try to make regular vists to the Disney Pin Traders store in Downtown Disney, at random times they will open a huge wall case full of all kinds of pins (some Scrappers so beware!)

Have a wonderful time and I hope you make lots of wonderful trades.

Scoop is the "magical pin trader" you are looking for. When we were there in June he would show up at 11am and again at 1PM outside the Emporium on main street. This was on Sunday and Monday. Best bet is to go to Main street around those times and if you see the Fire Chief, or the Hat ladies he will also be our around there.
