Hello everyone,
I posted my intro and felt it was lacking and wanted to give a more in-depth or more fleshed out intro on myself, while giving an welcome to anyone new as well and the hope to make some new friends along the way into pin collecting...
My name is Mark. I work as a PC tech and fix computers for various companies. I enjoy it, it pays the bills, but like with every job there are the ups and downs of doing that job.
Due to life I've never been to Disney, always wanted to go, but I was always a day late or a dollar short. Some friends of mine moved to Florida and for the FIRST time I will get to go to Disney! I'm stoked and somewhat sad, I feel like some of the "kids magic" (If thats the right way to put it) or maybe "wonder" is gone. I know its rides and attractions, but its also "Disney". I'm still looking forward to going, but there is a weird part of me that isn't interested in the rides, but more so in a few attractions such as Epicot and to be honest...Pin collecting and trading. I almost feel like I'm going to the park just to see what I can trade. I feel somewhat silly, about that but I feel being honest about yourself and what you want to do is for the best in life.
My grandfather somewhat installed a love for trading at a young age, so if its a trading card game or collectible and it catches my fancy I usually try to collect some form of it. (Funko pops for example and pins )
With that being said my favorite Disney movie is Sword in the stone. The artwork, songs and story caught my attention as a kid and still do as an adult.
Next would be Tron, and when Legacy came out I was ECSTATIC. Saw the movie and was not disappointed.
After that The Black Cauldron, something about the lore of the audio books from that series just captivates me.
So what do those all have in common? PINS!
My "chase / grail / ultimate" pin to get would be the Tron sorcerer hat.
Next would be the Author pulling excalibur and, Merlin wearing mikeys sorcerer hat.
For The black cauldron there is a pin of Tauron and Elonwey ( I know I messed up their names) along with Gurgi wearing the sorcerers hat as well.
While I don't own any disney pins yet, I have collected various pins for around 10+ years. Mostly from video games, anime or Gencon.
So with all that being said, does anyone have any tips / pointers / ideas for my first trip to disney and for good places to get pins at?
