Apparently, Disney will be holding a preview at Pin Traders/DTD.

Yours Truly will be going over on the 25th to take pictures to post here. Along with my thoughts about the pins on display.

"Special Preview: From April 25-27, samples of the pins will be on display at Disney's Pin Traders in Downtown Disney."

Stay Tuned!

Very kind of you thank you! I would do the same but I'm out of town this week and won't make it back in time. Eager to see your pics!
 
The display case is pretty tiny compared to all the pins.... I wonder if they will break out a special display case (or several) on large easels...
How do you know this?

I do remember seeing, if I remember correctly, a couple of the Walt Disney pins (the series name is escaping me at the moment) at Westward Ho. And it was small.

I curious are you referring to something like this?

I'm sitting here thinking about the display cases they use to show the new pins, for example, at Westward Ho, that's up on the wall, is that what you're referring to here?

Are you thinking it would be the display case in the World of Disney store in DTD? If yes, agree. It does seem small for this many pins. They must be planning something different.

FYI: At last years's preview at Disney Springs, they allowed attendees to trade with cast members and receive two Artist Proof pins.
Definitely need to attend the preview at DTD if they do this. (Thinking if Disney does this it would be chaos.)
 
I cannot post a l-nk. However, you can watch the video on YT titled, "Disney After Dark Pin Event Preview With EXCLUSIVE Trading Board In Disney Springs!" and posted on Jul 24, 2024 by PINces Shannon. They show how they received some AP/PP pins.
 
I'll be going in the mid-afternoon tomorrow. I'm sure by that time, social media will have blown up with pictures.

But, I still willing to post pictures here for Our Community. That Being Said, if another member gets to PT's earlier and would like to post here, please do.

The general thought is it'll be a smaller display. Personal I am Hoping it'll be a Preview Board similar to the one they had inside The Golden Horse Shoe last year, at the very least.

I found this picture, via Google. It was there during Sweethearts Night last year.

Exciting. I am optimistic the pins will look exceptional. I know there are some stained glass pins in the RSP, which I always enjoy.
 
I just noticed that RSP 25-28 are Dioramas. They likely will not fit in every pin portfolio.
Agree... Would love the Mickey Mouse one, but diaramas are mostly a no go for me. That said, I did put it in my rsp, just in case. I will have to make a decision if it is awarded.
 
Okay, as Promised, drum-roll please ...LoL, here are a few pictures. See post #1

And, Yes, the catalog pictures don't do them justice.

I'll post more later.

I'm hoping they don't change them every day. So if anyone see's changes, please feel free to post here.
