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.

Pin Feature June.23,2013
Today I am featuring my pin of Jack Jack from the Incredibles. It is an open edition pin from when the movie was released. Unfortunately there are a lot of fakes of this pin coming from China of this pin, so it is hard to authenticate this pin. But I still enjoy this pin as it comes from a great Disney/Pixar movie.

Disney World With Non-Pin Traders
When traveling to Disney World or even Disneyland, often you will be with a family or a big group of people, and sometimes even just a couple. When you go with larger groups or even as small as couples, you run into the chance that not everybody will enjoy Pin Trading as much as you. A very good example is my wife and I, I could Pin Trade the whole time and be happy, whereas she is not as avid a Pin Trader as me, but she still enjoys to see the spoils from my trades.
The key is compromise, yes just like a great marriage, you have to be mindful of what everybody wants to do and plan accordingly. For instance, on our last trip to Disney World, we had someone with us who needed a wheelchair, she didn't want to try and maneuver through the park, so three of the members of our group took the train around Magic Kingdom with her, but myself and the other pin boy wanted to go through the park. We compromised that the two of us would go through the park and trade, while the other three rode the train, and we all met up at Big Thunder Mountain in Frontierland.
At the end of the day, you want to make sure you have the best vacation possible, you don't want to put your wants in the way of what your family or group wants. Make sure to compromise and Pin Trade when you can.

Trade for them, Display Them!
Hello Pin Lovers,
Today I am going to talk about different ways to display your pins. I mean, you put all of the effort into trading for the rarest, the coolest pins you can find, why hide them away? Be proud in your collection, show them off, brag about them, just have fun with it.
One of the common ways to show off your pins is by buying a pin case from Disney. I have bought a total of 3 pin cases, as pictured below.
The two bigger cases hold the collection I am keeping, the smaller case on the right is holding the pins I am taking to trade when I return to Disney World.
Of course one of the best ways to display your collections, especially while in the Disney parks, is lanyards. There are hundreds to choose from and I always make sure as soon as I get to my hotel, I pick my new lanyard for the trip. On my last trip to Disney World, I chose the Star Wars Lanyard.
Last but not least, a great way to display your collection in your own home is by shadow boxes. Shadow boxes allow you to have your pins displayed on your wall for all of your friends and family to see.
