Pin trading at Disney is a unique way to collect souvenirs and meet people with similar interests along the way. The process of pin trading is fairly simple. Guests buy Disney pins and bring them to the park on a lanyard or in a pin book or backpack.

There are many cast members who have lanyards, guests who have pins to trade, or even pin trading boards at resorts, restaurants, and shops around the park.

Susan wrote an excellent guide to pin trading that is linked here and is a great place to get started. Jaelyn also shared her experience of pin trading with her kids in this post.
