This is a little late after being in Orlando 2 months ago. I started a Pin collection there. They have pin stations located all over with literally thousands of cloisonei??? pins. They have all sorts of different characters and attraction pins. The fun part is you can trade with castmembers who are wearing pin covered lanyards. We found out that a lot of the cast pins are called Lanyard pins meaning only cast have them and they are not for sale to the general public. So if you trade a castmember for a lanyard pin you really got something special. I traded a Donald Duck pin to a cast for a Star Wars pin. When I looked on the back I saw that the pin I traded for was limitied to 1000. Anyways it was kind of a fun little thing to do down there. eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/index

Cool! Sounds like this could be a hobby for the long haul.

I wasn't kidding when I said thousands. We have even found characters like the Rocketeer. So far my favorites have been from the Haunted Mansion.

Yeah, it can be kind of expensive. I just like the fact I can find a lot of Obscure Disney Characters. I also have some good Disney World connections that can help out a little on cost.

That is a cool collection. I like collecting odd things like that. In fact I have an odd collection myself. When I worked at Wal-Mart Electonics many years back I collected over 100 promotional pins/buttons.
