Disney has offered collectible pins in their theme parks for many years. They’re just what they sound like, little metal straight-backed pins depicting all sorts of Disney things. The tiny souvenirs exploded in popularity after Disney introduced the practice of pin trading with cast members in 1999.
There are thousands of pins available, and pin trading is a deep-seated love among Disney fans. For many traders, the excitement is in the hunt - traipsing around the parks in search of a set piece, a favorite character, or even a rare cast member exclusive. Other traders acquire pins to commemorate special memories or events. Most do both!
