How does pin trading work?
To trade pins with a fellow Guest or Cast Member, be sure to trade authentic and official Disney pins. You can trade a maximum of two pins at a time per Cast Member, Guest or pin board. For more information on pin trading etiquette guidelines, please read the below:
- Only official Disney pins may be traded. The main criteria when judging whether a pin is tradable or not (although other factors may be considered) is that the metal pin bears a "©Disney" mark on the back—representing an official Disney event, place, location, character or icon. A Cast Member may determine not to trade a pin at their discretion.
- For a safe trading experience, please trade one pin at a time.
- Guests may trade a maximum of 2 pins per Cast Member, Guest or trading board. Only one visit to each board is permitted.
- There cannot be two of the same pin on a board, so if the pin you planned to trade is already on the board, please select another pin to trade.
- Please refrain from touching the pin or lanyard of a Cast Member or Guest. If you need a closer look, kindly ask the Cast Member or Guest wearing the pin or lanyard to bring it into clearer view for you.
- Pins should be in good, undamaged, tradable condition with the pin backing attached.
- Monies, gifts, vouchers or receipts may not be exchanged or used to trade for a pin, and this will be monitored at the events.
Okay to Trade:
- When trading with a Cast Member or Guest, Guests should offer a pin that is not currently displayed on the Cast Member's lanyard or trading board.
- Pins from other business units of The Walt Disney Company (e.g., ABC, ESPN, National Geographic) may be traded, as determined by the Cast Member.
- Pins that show a Disney, Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort affiliation are generally accepted for trading.
Not Okay to Trade:
- Unauthorized pins, plastic pins, rubber pins or other non-metal pins.
- Personalized name pins
- Brooch-style or clasp pins
- Disney Service Award pins, Disney Legacy Award pins, Partners in Excellence pins or Cast Member costume pins.
