Show #81 - Pin Trading

 Today, I'm talking about Pin Trading. 

I follow the history and answer: How did it start? And roll around to : How do I do it?

Its pretty thorough except for one simple thing that I failed to mention: green lanyards on CastMembers means they trade only with children.

I also delve into what you might trade, different types of pins that are available to trade, and even where you might get some pins a little cheaper to get you started.

Its a fun activity that really doesn't cost much and is easy to get home.

As for me, I don't trade, but I do have a couple of pins, including the 5-legged goat that appears on the mural in the Contemporary.

Of course there are CastMembers who can help you, and some signage that gives the quick overview:

You can also visit a couple of websites to help you:
