My favorite Disney character is definitely Hades. I love how he's really funny and acts like a salesman!

[@ShellShellinspace]

Also when there is a cast member with a teal/ green lanyard it’s supposed to be for kids 3-12 And there is a rule for giving a cast member a pin during trade, the backing has to be on before you give it to them.

There are so many niche things to do + collect at Disneyland. 💙

[@JoskiiWoskii]

As a hockey fan, Riley!! Also, I was gifted a few pins to trade for Christmas. Told my friend that I wasn’t sure if this is a good idea because of how I get addicted to things easy. Going to Disney next week to check out pins, thanks for the vid!
