PinFormation - A Guide to Pin Trading

Disney Pin Trading is an exciting, interactive experience where Disney can trade Disney pins with Disney World Cast Members (Disney employees) and other Guests.  It's fun for the whole family and CREATES cherished "pin pals" to last a lifetime!  Start a new collection or exchange pins for the ones you've always wanted.  

How can I experience the magic?  It's simple and fun!  Just locate a Disney Cast Member wearing a lanyard with Disney pins and find a pin you'd like.  Then present another Disney pin to the Cast Member to trade.  Bringing home the magic is that simple.
