NEW PLAN! I'm Going to Disney World!! May 15-20th! Meet and Trade?!

[Zagales14]

What do you think of maybe meeting at the pin traders area in DTD on the 15th? I would love to try and trade!

Sounds like a very real possibility. I can't confirm JUST YET, but I will be able to during the first week of May. Anyhow, seeing as though you're setting up to meet a few people at DTD Pin Traders that day, maybe it would be good to set a time range so we can all meet each other and maybe get some trades done!

What about 7 or 8 P.M.? Perhaps a bit earlier? I'm not sure!! Haha. Bumping this up! And if this needs to be moved to pin trading meetups, please assist me! Originally it was also a question thread but now that has been answered, so if its in the way, it can be moved on out! :3

I'm so jealous! I'm at least 3 years away from my next WDW trip. Have a great time! Experience everything!

WE WILL be there at the same time we arrive the 15th and leave the 23rd we are staying at the beach club

Have an awesome time! I hope you get to meet Gaston, but stand back. He's especially good at expectorating.

I don't know if you're interested but May 16th is when the 13th Event Countdown Collection Gaston pin will be released at DTD Pin Traders. I've seen a few people with their traders in line at those events. They have some trade tables at Epcot but it's hit or miss whether there's anyone there trading or not. Just a guess but you might have a better chance there on the weekends or late evenings (if it's locals trading). Just about every store has cast members with lanyards. All the resorts have pin trading boards out at different times during the day usually in the gift shops. The one at Port Orleans French Quarter is out all the time. I think the resorts on the monorail have theirs out late in the afternoon (like 1 at 4:30, 1 at 5:00, and 1 at 5:30 but I'm not sure about the exact times/locations). I believe that all the guest service locations at the parks have pin trading books and you can ask them about the resort pin trading board times. The pin store in MK Frontierland has Duffy with lanyards, a hat and a washboard with pins to trade. I hope you have a wonderful visit!

I definitely will! We have never gone for so many days before, so hopefully we have the time to experience everything!! I think the wait will be well worth it for you, when you get to go!!

Awesome!! Would you perhaps be interested in meeting at DTD with us on the 15th?

I am sooooo excited to meet Gaston!! I think that may be the main reason I am going, but don't tell anyone!! <3

Thank you for all of the information! Wow, so the Gaston pin comes out on the 16th? That is amazing! I will have to try and drag my mother over to DTD! She probably will not want to go though, she gets frustrated if I spend too much time on pins She doesn't even want me to meet at DTD on the 15th, and we aren't even going to a park that day! I am trying to tell her that if I get it all out of my system I won't be so annoying during the rest of our trip but I don't know if I can make any promises!! Lol. I didn't know of all of those pin locations though, so thank you for all of the info! I will attempt to make a few pitstops!

I may be able to see you there! I love Gaston so much, I hope I can make it over there! Do you happen to know where and at what time the pin is released? I've never been to a pin release before, I'm nervous!

 

[ElysionsPrincess]

Bump with new meetup plans! :facepalm:

 

[Juujuugurl]

The Gaston Pin will be released at the Pin Traders shop at Downtown Disney. I'll be going either before or after work (hopefully before, Gaston is my favorite)! Maybe I'll see you there!

Downtown Disney Pin Traders. The store opens at 9:30. The 13 releases that we've been to have been very calm. I don't expect this one to be any different .
