Disney Pin Trading Prep - Part I

So we've taken on this little adventure obsession called Disney Pin Trading. Maurice and I saw videos on YouTube from "imsarahsnitch" and got hooked.  So we ordered pins... 50 of them for $20 off of E-Bay so when we go to Disney the kids can trade pins!  We sat down the other night and sorted them out, each of us getting 10 because Maurice and I already pre-sorted Limited Edition Pins we wanted to keep as well as some characters we have that aren't as popular that we could potentially trade-up for better pins. 

We set it up in our dining room complete with a fish themed towel to match our fish themed (Finding Nemo) room for our hotel at Art of Animation.

We took turns picking the ones we wanted and once it was all over we attached them to lanyards Maurice got at Game Stop for free. 

In addition to this, the lanyards came with name badge slots so the kids created fake names for their lanyard  - initially this was my idea to keep them safe but I realize how silly it is now.

The kids post home trading.

There will be a lot more posts on pin trading, how it went on our trip and more info on pin trading.  I don't think we'll stop trading after our vacation is over.
