thank you! <3Congrats finding two keepers during your trading excursion. I've only traded twice in person at WDW and both times was just trading traders for other traders. I have very specific wants so it is hard to find keepers. I also do not get to a park very often. I rely on trading/buying here for most of my pins.
P.S. I really like the Thumper with the flower pin....too cute
thank you! xxxCongrats on some nice additions to your collection!
when were you there? I felt like every shop sold the same pins, give or take one or two different ones occasionally.I was disappointed with the lack of variety there too

ah you were there a few days after me then. I didn't get a chance to see the trading place but I must've looked everywhere for pins - some people suggested Harringtons but they had the worst selection imo.Paddy's day weekend. Yep, they all seemed the same. We discovered the trading place the one day, but the queue was crazy as it was release day, so I don't know if there were different pins in there
np! Hope you have a great timeThanks for the report! I'll be there for the first time later this year. I'll be with my sister and we only have one day in the parks so pin trading is not gong to be a high priority (kind of a "if we pass by a cast member with a lanyard or a trade area without a long line we can take a quick look" thing) but it's nice to see what it's like anyway.
I collect the refresh lanyard pins, so I'm hoping to nab a few extras of those at least.
It's the DLP equivalent of Hidden Mickey pins. At each pin trading night, they release a cocktail that comes with a pin of a character. Each pin had a little name badge symbol somewhere on it (like how Hidden Mickeys have the Mickey head somewhere on it). The pins originally can only be gotten at the event, but a few months after the event they start stocking them on cast member lanyards in the parks (hence the term lanyard refresh).
The Patch and Peg pins from your photos are actually two of them!
thank you! I didn't get them in the parks, I bought them online from an Ebay seller (a good oneThe Bambi pins are very nice!
Are they only available in Disneyland Paris?
