Would you pay to trade pins?

Would you pay to trade pins?

An announcement on the Disney Merchandise Blog brings to light the plans for Disney World to begin charging for pin / vinylmation trading nights that were normally offered free of charge.

On February 27, 2015 you’ll be required to register in advance and pay a $10 fee!  These nights used to cost attendees nothing.  So, now you’ll be charged to purchase these “collectible” items AND charged to trade them at these events.  You’ll still be allowed to trade with others inside the parks and of course you can trade online at your will.

Here’s the content from the above link:

It is a tough pill to swallow, to now pay for something that was free for many years. I think it will keep families away, $40 for a family of four to pin trade for three hours. I don't like having to register and if something comes up or you are sick then you either go anyway or lose your hard earned money. I had already invested money in the pins so we really enjoyed going to the PTN to trade and it made for a great night. It sure takes the fun out of pin trading.
