Disney Soda Fountain is my Whitecastle

In 2012 I took my first trip to Walt Disney World, I loved it. I had a blast, I got into pin trading. I was so hyped from the excitement that I had to stop at every pin cart, and check the cast lanyards for pins. Living in Canada has it's downfalls in the world of Pin Trading. I have been very lucky to get to Disney World the past 2 years and I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to Pin Trade the past couple of years.

But like a knight on a quest, there is one place I seek. A place where limited edition pins are obtainable, a place where every pin trader should want to go, the Disney Soda Fountain. I learned of the Disney Soda Fountain not to long ago, and as I have seen the pictures of the Pins you can get there, I knew this was my Whitecastle. I dream of going to such a place where it is about the pins, and I guess while I am there I will get and ice cream...

Scoop Sanderson

Scoop Sanderson is one of best and brightest characters on Main Street U.S.A in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. Scoop is the Ace Reporter for the Main Street Gazette, he is often seen wearing a hat that says press on the side of it. He is also well known as a "Town Councilmen" but most of all he is one of, if not the biggest "Pinthusiast". On certain days, Scoop is known to play games in the streets with the Walt Disney World Resort guests. He also loves to share his interest in Disney Pins with people of all ages.

Scoop has been pin trading from the very beginning and has a wealth of knowledge on Disney Pins. He loves to trade pins, but not with strangers, so he may ask you your name first. Scoop is a very well mannered person and it would be in the best interest to we well mannered when you trade with him as well. If you are lucky enough, Scoop with give you a Disney Pin that has been specially designed for him, and he will even sign it to!

To say Scoop is the biggest thing for pin trading is an understatement. There have been about 26 Disney Pins made based off of Scoop. When I head back to Walt Disney World in January, I am very much looking forward to meeting Scoop.

Disney Pin Trading, I’m Hooked!

         In January 2012, I took my first trip to Walt Disney World® in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. I had no idea what was about to take over as the ultimate hobby in my life. Before going there in 2012 for my long awaited honey moon, my wife had told me stories about Disney World and the excitement of Pin Trading. I had done a little research on Pin Trading before I went on the vacation, and I had collected about 10 pins before embarking on a life changing journey.

Upon arriving at the hotel in Florida, I went into pin frenzy when I saw the grand selection at the Walt Disney World® resort. Overnight my small collection of 10 pins exploded into a collection of 100 pins. It was lanyard after lanyard, trading with the Disney World Cast Members, I was hooked! Nothing would slow me down, and after spending roughly $1000 on Disney Pins, there was no stopping me at building my ultimate collection.

But the trip had to come to an end, I had successfully traded my pins. It was a long 2012, and the hunger for the thrill of Pin Trading grew and grew. I turned to Ebay and purchased a bigger collection to prepare for my next trip there. Sure enough,  we booked another trip to the magical Disney World for January 2013. This time I was ready and amassed 200 pins for trading this time, only this time my wife’s parents were coming along(and her dad being as big of a pin nut as myself), thus The Pin Boys was created. We made our way through the world trading with everyone we could find, only to be hungry for more.

Now I wait, I await my return to Disney World to trade more pins, I made this blog so other people interested in Pin Trading can read of my experiences and my pin collection. I now sit with a collection of 439 pins and growing. I intend to share my experiences and love of Disney Pin Trading with people.  Feel free to share your experiences with me as well.
