I like the TRIVIA that Disneyland does at some Trading spots.

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

That’s so fun!!

[@LifeWithJacquiMarie]

It’s been a while since I’ve pin traded in the parks because of the number of fake pins. Thanks for pointing out new things to look out for!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

It’s definitely an issue with how many fakes are out there, BUT it’s always good to have those pins with you as you never know when you’ll find a good one!

[@wardypickle]

I have been trading for a long time. I actually have pins from when Disney first started the program. A good place to start your collection is at one Disneys Outlets. There are two official outlets in Orlando. Yall should do a video on them. Also there are some antique/thrift stores where you can buy older pins and even memorabilia. Also, if you attend events at the park look for specialty pins. Back in the day when things first started I actually got Disney pins from Disney Records and some other more industry type pins. It was at the Disneyana convention at the Contemporary.

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Love!! We’ve been talking about making a trip out to the antique stores as we’ve seen so much cool stuff there! Checking the outlets for cheap starter pins is a great idea! (If we can ever get there on a not super chaotic day lolololol)

[@amysitzes4896]

Thank you! I finally understand what pin collectors are describing with the Mickeys on the back going to the edge!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Happy we could help! 😁

[@bridgetclement2968]

I buy the Loungefly pins from a friend on Ebay. Another friend has A lot of pins from International parks like Paris and Shanghai

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Very cool! Nothing wrong with buying pins on eBay to keep for yourself! Just make sure that you don’t trade fakes so that it makes trading fair for others too!

[@bridgetclement2968]

@@kaylaandmarkalan the only Loungefly I Trade is Doubles

[@cararaetullio]

Just started pin trading on my last trip and I think I got some fakes, here’s to trying again in April :)

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Hey! At least you have some pins to trade with!

[@alicekluk]

I went to a pin trading event at Hong Kong Disneyland today, being my first ever pin trading experience, it was wonderful and fun!

[@alicekluk]

So I am here to watch this video. Thank you so much for this video! 😊

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Thats so cool! I bet you found some really amazing pins!!!

[@PurposelyReRouted]

So many good tips! We bought lanyards a few years ago and have filled them both up. We haven’t pin traded yet because we can’t seem to bring ourselves to part with any of them 😂. I did not even know there were fakes 😳😜! Those fakers trying to fake on everything these days!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

It’s definitely hard to trade away your ‘good’ pins! That’s why we love getting those starter sets!

[@CodeytheArtist]

I definitely suggest buying 5-pin mystery bags and trading away your duplicates so it's not so painful to see them go! 😊 That way you can complete sets, but also have good quality pins at the ready for other traders too!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

For sure! We have definitely done that too with sets we’ve liked. They used to have the Fanny pack sets that were a GREAT deal.

[@Nisacz]

I’m new to this channel. This was such a great intro video! Most of the people I like make videos for Disneyland so this was perfect for me. For example, do they actually have trivia pins at WDW like in Disneyland or was that a unique situation you encountered? Please make more pin trading videos, can’t wait to watch! 😊

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

That was actually the first time we did trivia for a pin! I’m not sure if they do them other places around the parks, but it definitely was a fun surprise!

[@annapower9799]

More pin trading tips please!!! Just starting this adventure and would love to learn more from those who have been at this a while and with lots of experience. Help us continue to spot fakes please

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Love it!!!! We definitely hope to do more pin videos in the future!!

[@empirenow6068]

QUESTION: I buy pins in bulk and typically trade fakes for fakes. My overall goal is to be in a steady enough financial place to give pins out to strangers to make their day more magical. Would it be against the spirit of pin trading to give strangers some of my cheap fakes to trade for potential real pins in Disneyland? I think getting people into trading is THE MOST important way that I can spread magic. But denying the price point of fakes seems unrealistic to me. I’d love to trade $15 pins for a potential $20 pin and say “wow what a trade”. But honestly seeing even one real pin is a rarity these days. To summarize: to spread fakes? Or to only spread authentic.

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

We are in the camp of not adding more fakes to the pool, but that’s totally just our opinion! That’s why we like getting the starter packs with as low a cost as we can, so that we are adding more real pins to the mix, but also aren’t spending an insane amount of money either. The more people trade real pins, and the less people add fake pins to the pool, the better it ends up being for everyone! Again, that’s just our opinion. Totally ok if others don’t agree! 😁 Another tip I heard recently is to keep an eye out on shop Disney when they have sales. Apparently you can score some super heavily discounted pins that way too!

[@katievictoria4757]

The Tinkerbell pin is really cute despite being a fake

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Yes!! Luckily, the fun with pin trading is that you can always trade for something you love whether it’s fake or not! 😁
