Pin trading

[jensenmom72]

We are "basically" new to WDW. The last time I was there was 1991 and we all know how much has changed since then.
No one else in my family has been there. We have 6 kids ages 17 to 3. Should we even introduce them? I don't know if and when we will be back. Is it expensive to do pin trading
Thanks for all of the advise in advance

My daughter and I are into pin trading but everytime I buy a pin I have to buy one for her to. With six kids I can only imagine what thats gonna run but I'm sure you've already got rules concerning that. My brother has 5 and I know there's rules to their vacations on spending.

I think you should have introduced your kids to each other a long time ago - waiting to take them on a Disney trip is far too late - they need to know each other now

Its as expensive or as cheap as you make it. If you're unlikely to return to WDW for several years to come then you may want to let them buy a couple of pins to keep (as souvenirs of their trip) rather than buying to trade

Welllll you know I'm sure my 17dd would love to not be introduced to some of her sibs until now lol

Yes, introduce your kids to pin trading, but buy some pins cheap on ebay and take them with you. The cast members will trade any Disney pin and they have certain pins they only show to kids. They have other, more general pins they show to adults. My daughter and I have only ever traded with cast members. We dont look for collectors items, just pins that represent what we did on our trip.
