Scoop is no longer trading

I didn't knw about Scoop when I went in 2011, and was hoping to trade with him if I wind up going in April. I'm disappointed I won't get the chance to trade with him, but I'll still try to meet him.
 
How sad. I enjoyed trading with him. I always kept nicer traders for his special lanyard.

I wonder what brought this on.
 
I'm probably one of the few that is happy he's not trading on Main Street any more. In the last few years, it seems that you couldn't get any where near Scoop to just say hello. I went to most of Scoop's talks way back in the early 2000's. It was a much nicer, group of people back then and the talks were always fun and informative. Now days it seems like a feeding frenzy on Main Street.

If you like trading with Scoop, try a PTN when Holland Hayes is around. He's a pretty nice guy to!! ;)
 
Sad day!

My oldest daughter got the Traditions pin from him on our January trip. He's such a fun guy! I'll still probably look for him just because he's so nice and such a big part of the Disney magic for my family.
 
Seems to be following the trend at WDW... It is sad, but still hope to run into Scoop for a "hello" and a photo.

Disappointed my children will not have the opportunity to trade with Scoop on our upcoming trip, his "pin games" were always fun.

I was looking forward to trading with him (with good pins this time!) in January :(

At least he'll still be there to say hi. It truly is the end of an era, but maybe another cast member will step up and take his place.
 
^ I doubt it. The next question is - will King Pin follow or since he is more of a merchandise cm will he be allowed to continue trading?
 
I never did find Scoop when I was there in 2012 but I hope to see him in 2017, even though he is not trading! :)

I still need to find King Pin too.
 
Holy crap! We just saw him three weeks ago (for the first, and apparently only, time [as a pin trader]!) Got pictures and everything, was definitely the most magical part of the trip. I'm shocked!

So I asked about this a few days ago and the CMs I spoke to seemed to think that because he got really busy with events and stuff that he's just taking a break for awhile and once things quiet that he 'might' be back to trading again... of course that's nothing official, just what they thought based on how busy he was getting with doing publicity stuff...

Shame because I just heard abut hm!
