Disney Pins

**luvdisney00** · 03-03-2008, 08:52 AM

I just bought a "lot" of 10 pins for trading from ebay. I am hopeless, but I just couldn't resist. I am determined to convince DH to take a trip this year. Now I need to go so the girls can trade the pins! Hopeless!!

I've done the same thing

Buying the lots is a great way to go!! Of course, both times we've done that, the kids have found quite a few that they'd like to keep!!! But we should still have plenty to trade on our trip in August!! Good luck convincing your hubby

I did the same thing at christmas and gave each of my kids a few pins in their stockings. I also just bought a lot of 30 pins from ebay and each of my kids is getting 6 pins in their easter basket. Its so much better than the kids buying brand new ones at the parks and then trading them off.

luvdisney00....Keep working on your DH and I am sure you will be booking your trip in no time!

Here's some pixie dust for your DH! :0) Have you called to see if you have a PIN attached to your house for dates you're thinking of going?? Maybe you do & that would sway him? Or maybe a great public code will come out!

Good luck!!

You know if you are into disney pins we have our pin swap on there. It is a great way to keep kids involved in something other then video games until your trips to disney. I think we have only 6 or 7 people confirmed for this swap which will be the 1st of April. There are still a few days to sign up so if you want to let me know.

Thanks everyone for the support. I knew my SR friends would understand!!

Jen,
I know this is crazy, but I am afraid to call because I know if I do have a code we will be booked, I won't be able to help myself, and we are still in the "talking about it" stage. I have the number out downstairs and I have been thinking about calling all day. ...I think we are thinking about the same time that you are going (if I remember correctly form another thread) 9/17-9/22. I'm hoping for a code, or free dining or SOMETHING. We've never been in Sept.

Kerry,
I'm hoping to give them the pins for Easter with the news that we are going in the fall.

Kim,
I'm not sure if I want to do the pin swap or not, I've been looking at the thread for a few days, I'm thinking about it. If we do this trip it will be a surprise at least until Easter, and i don't want to tip them off by talking "Disney" too much. Thanks for thinking of me though.

Well I'll keep you all posted!
Dorothy

Ooh our trip will overlap some. Sept 19-28th for us. Jen normally goes at that time but she's not this year. We'll have to see about meeting up.

I just hope we will really be there! I thought I read somewhere that Jen had those dates...but I guess I was wrong.
I'd love to see another SR girl, where are you staying?

Aiming for ASMO but we'll see what's available if and when Free dining is announced. I need to go ahead and book so I have ressies at least but I haven't gotten around to it. Got the ADRs figured out last night.
