Disney4me Posted Saturday at 07:00 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:00 PM It’s officially D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, which means hundreds of thousands of Disney fans are congregating in Anaheim, California, for major Disney news. We love pin trading! But there’s one frequently overlooked D23 activity that we try to participate in at every expo: pin trading. If you’re also pin trading at D23, you NEED to follow these 10 rules! If you’re a new pin trader, you’re probably wondering what pins you can trade at D23 in the first place. D23 says that the main criteria to judge if a pin is an official Disney pin is that it’s metal, with a “©Disney” symbol on the back. Your pins should be in good, tradeable condition, and you can only trade one pin at a time with the backing included. Pins at EPCOT! Pins from divisions of The Walt Disney Company like ABC or ESPN are tradeable at D23. Pins from operating partners that show a Disney affiliation, like Disney, Disneyland, or Walt Disney World text, are also tradeable. Plastic pins, rubber pins, and other non-metal pins, plus brooches and clasp pins, are not accepted! Muppets Pins If you’re trading with Cast Members, you can only trade a maximum of two pins per Cast Member all day. You shouldn’t touch a Cast Member or guest’s lanyard or pin display, but instead ask if they can bring it towards you for a closer look. Additionally, when trading with a Cast Member, you should offer a pin that isn’t currently displayed to avoid duplicates. Time to trade! While checking out the rules, we also noticed some funny ones that we don’t normally see! One said “Trading of concession stand hot dogs and personal shoes is prohibited” and another said, “Trading with Stormtroopers and Maleficent should be done at your own risk.” You have to follow these rules at D23! We’ll be sure to keep you updated on more D23 rules and procedures.
