Taking Pins into Parks

[tarheel2012]

I am going to Epcot in a few days and was wondering if it would be okay to bring cork boards with pin on them in with me. Also, do a lot of people use them? Are they easy to trade with? Thanks.

I would think those would be really awkward to try and carry around.

they do limit the size of bags but think these might not be aloud maybe a pin bag with them in but not the boards size of bags is 24" x15" x 18" no bigger epcot does have a rules listing

yea i agree with Tbird, cork boards would just be uncomfortable & inconvenient
if you have lanyards and pin bags that would be better

In the thirty plus years I've been going to Disney parks, I have never seen anyone carrying cork boards through the theme parks to trade. I have seen peope wearing multiple lanyards and/or carrying a bag with pin books inside as suggested by others in this thread.

If you have a backpack or bag you could use instead that might be easier but it must conform to the guidelines as stated by Disney here:

The very second rule states they reserve the right to deny any type of object they feel might be an inconvenience. I'd hate for you to go all the way to the gates and then be denied entry because of cork boards.

People bring cork boards that size all the time to the trading tables at Epcot. Unless rules changes disallow this as of very recently, you should be OK.

I have traded off of a cork board that a trader had brought into Epcot. I didn't ask him, but he definitely seemed like a regular at the pin trading tables. Good luck trading in the parks!

In September of 2014 I saw people with large boards at the trading tables at Epcot - some of them were huge!

Hmm, just my opinion, but given how many people have mentioned that pulling from cork boards can sometimes bend the posts on a pin, I would be hesitant to use one for general trading purposes if people were going to be using it a lot. I know that there are official trading boards and such, but to me it would be a lot more comfortable, convenient and safer to use either trading bags, modified card binders or lanyards.

There is a guy at DLR that sets out 3 large cork bourds all the time you will be OK.
