Special pin trading mornings at DLR on Main street with staff?

[DaddyDaughterPins]

During our October trip to Disneyland we walked in one morning at opening and Main Street was lined with what appeared to be resort staff/management each wearing one mickey hand (giving fives) and lanyards full of trading pins. When I say lined, I mean maybe 2 feet of space between each person - both sides of the street just packed. It was a pin traders dream!

Unfortunately it was our last day and we were on a mission to ride Splash Mountain so we had time to dry off before we went to the airport... and didn't have our pins on us.

We are heading to DLR again in August and will spend 2-3 days in the park out of our 6 days in Anahiem. I'd like to know if it is possible to plan to be there one of these mornings. Does this happen often? Monthly, weekly? Are they scheduled?

Thanks for your help!

It seems to be kind of random.

Often the line up is all newer CM's getting used to guest interaction from what I have seen.

A certain times every day there are more lanyards out, about 1 hour before a parade of fireworks, right when the park opens and usually for a special event type thing.

Think it's just the morning wave(I believe it's every morning) , and I think it just depends on how many CM's can make it And how many choose to wear pins.

When I went in October the week of the 24 I think and when I went in December they did it your guess is good as mines

There was a day early in December where there were about six cast members with lanyards standing in front of the castle with a pin board as well! It was a beautiful sight. They should do that more often. I miss the pin board carts of the early pin trading events of years past.
