- BIG Pin Trading Updates and changes have happened at Disneyland!
Pin trading at the benches in frontierland was a tradition that has been going on for decades and with disney's new update, it has come to an end. There are now dedicated Pin Trading tables located in Frontierland, in place of the benches that pin traders would use to display their collections for trade.
The largest change that is being implemented is all pin trading has to come to an end at 3 PM and you are not allowed to trade with other guests anywhere else in the park (aside from on a pin lanyard)!
Let us know your thoughts on these new rules!

What are your thoughts on the new tables instead of benches?
I think it will be nice for each person to have their own table, but pin trading stopping at 3 PM is a bit early.
It’s crazy how early they have it come to an end! Hopefully that will change soon
Personally, I would hate to stand the whole time, especially after walking around all day. That's just my two cents.
I love the new tables, it makes pin trading more fair, less intimidating and welcoming for all traders. Previously people who take up an entire bench and many guests felt nervous to walk up. With the tables I traded non stop for almost 3 hours, people walked up one after another but I don't like the time. Crossing my fingers that they update it to a later time or add another area where guests can trade after 3pm.
Are there any pin trading events in december in orlando??
Unbelievable! They make all these rules for individual pin trading (which is about the only way you can trade authentic pins) but do nothing about all the fakes being traded on the boards. Meanwhile the price of pins has skyrocketed. If they get too much more unreasonable with pricing or about trading in the parks, I may just stop buying pins. It's not as magical as it used to be.
I love the WANTED poster, Nick! That is awesome!
Definitely seems like there's room for improvement regarding pin trading regulations. Seems a bit harsh as is. I understand wanting to use the location, but Frontierland doesn't receive that much traffic as is. Maybe one of the alternate locations will be in the Star Wars area after 3pm? Somewhere at the back of the park seems fitting.
Certainly has room for improvement, hopefully they take feedback into consideration
I was surprised that the response from the pin traders was mostly positive, and I think it’s funny that all but one bench were removed and that’s what everyone was bitching about, funny. Y’all got some great trades and I love the card pins. Loved each of Shannon’s outfits. 💚💚
Yes too funny, now there’s no benches for anyone to sit on 🤣
The regulations seem completely disproportionate, if Disney put half as much energy into regulating scrappers as they did controlling bench trades then trading at the boards would be a lot more fun and maybe there wouldn’t be so many people trading with eachother
You have some good points there! Hopefully they’ll start regulating scrappers next
I agree 100%!
The wanted sign made me laugh and wished it was a real poster to have up in our room
🤣
I like that they kept the lanyard exception. It seems like that maintains the spirit of trading.
So glad there’s atleast a way to pin trade with other guest after 3
It’s very discriminatory, because they are basically telling me I can’t come pin trade after work… I mean they don’t tell you where or when you can eat a churro!! Also standing the whole time is so wrong!
That’s what a lot of people were saying, all those who visit after work/school will no longer have the opportunity to trade because of the current hours they allow trading. Hopefully they can adjust that soon
Omg you guys crack me up, loved the wanted poster 😂 This pin trading situation is so sad. Hope it changes soon!
I asked about that with a cast member the last time I was ad DW. They told me that the issue is that technically scrappers are still “authentic Disney Pins” they are just ones made with a mold that was supposed to be disposed of. That and it’s so difficult for them to tell a scraper pin from a non scrapper one.
The red carpet at DCA is a special event for cast members that have been with the company for more than 10years +
Oh wow that’s really nice!
It was really nice meeting you at the park! Thanks for trading me a lightning McQueen pin. Hope you made it home safely and soundly. :)
Thanks for trading with us!! You too!
I think this whole can’t trade after 3:00pm is garbage. Isn’t it had enough that pin boxes and lanyards with pins have tripled in price since I started trading back in 2008.
I'm glad trading at Frontierland is being regulated. I wish there was more emphasis on keeping scrappers out of the parks. From the looks of it, very few people seem to be following the one book per person part of the rules.
It would be very nice if they made more rules around regulating scrappers
Also we found out you can bring more than one book with you, you can only place one book on the table for trade at a time
@@pincessshannon That's good to know!
Nick just saying ,”hey want to trade some pins” police be like “have you seen nick?” Lol

Thanks for the trade that day! It was also my first time visiting the pin tables--and mostly empty benches, haha. The two things that really bother me about the new rules is that-there are tons of benches around Frontierland and the pin benches don't really make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Also, the line about fakes and scrappers are ridiculous--their own pin boards are %99.99 scrappers. Come on, Disney! Get your own house in order. I think those rules were an excuse to get rid of the traders who are there constantly, intimidate folks away from "their benches" and encouraging people to purchase pins in the shop to trade. I'm not against that, but please be honest about what's happening.
I’ve been an avid Disneyland goer since I was born and never in my 22 years have I honestly had a desire to sit in the benches in Frontierland because their is nothing to do their 😅, I could see if it was a problem in fantasyland
When I saw the new rules, I was really concerned and knew you guys would be as well. I don't understand why the non-pin traders would be so upset about the benches? And the fact that you can't trade after 3:00pm? That's ridiculous. But I am glad they at least have tables to trade at. I wonder if the same rules apply at Disney World? I hope not. LOL. Maybe if Disney sees that everyone is following the rules, maybe they will extend the pin trading time? Fingers crossed.
It does seem a bit over the top but hopefully they’ll listen to feedback and atleast extend the hours you are allowed to trade. As of now, Disney world does not have these same rules. Hopefully that doesn’t change!
No one enforcing the one book rule. Many traders bring more then one book to display and trade with.
So much fun trading with you guys! Glad you made use of the lanyard I traded Nick too!
Thanks for trading with us and especially for the lanyard! It came in handy!
The Disneyland hat!!!
It’s his favorite! Got it from a thrift store a few years ago
I would have traded for that Pocahontas too. Congrats!
So happy about that trade, it’s such a cute one!!
3 pm is kind of early. I wonder if DW will change the rules. I stopped wearing a lanyard years ago because I would lose pins. The Mickey ear backs are horrible.
I love the gift card pins.
We have lost pins from lanyards before so that’s why we usually don’t use them, hopefully they don’t make any changes to WDW!
@@rsmith8434I use to use the ones with the wrench and they bend the posts. I do have the Loungefly pin backs that feel more secure, so maybe I can give the lanyard another try at DL.
shannon your sweater in this video is sooo cute
If they want to regulate pin trading on the benches that bad have a designated area for it that would be better for everyone in the end anyway. If they can regulate pin trading then regulate the boards and don’t let people trade fakes or take them off AT LEAST and discard them so they stop circulating so much
I love that you too got to meet up lol
Its literal BS. As everyone can see there was NO ONE at the benches everyone was crying over. The 3pm rule is garbage many ppl come after 3 bc of work or school. Standing the whole time is not good either. We need another spot. Asap. All the ones that complained over the benches and are happy about the changes You ruined the magic OUR magic for us when in no way were we causing harm nor bothering anyone.
It’s very unfortunate pin trading has to end so early, hopefully they will listen to feedback and extend the hours
That makes me so sad. I just recently got into pins!
Luckily there are still plenty of people to trade with, just sad it ends so early!
@@pincessshannon yes! Stay strong pin traders!
I am happy they finally get their own special place to trade pins as these tables at the given time is meant only for their use.
I will agree that the 3pm time is deeply limiting. I do feel a formal protest of some kind needs to be made to increase this time. I of course always start my trips in Disneyland at Adventureland so I am normally doing my pin trading by 11 or 12.
We pin traders still have the park tables by the lockers in Downtown Disney on Sundays. Maybe we should work together to make this place the NEW official site to trade pins daily?
Sadly pin trading is no longer allowed at the picnic tables at anytime with these new rules. It is specifically only allowed in Frontierland and before 3 PM
Can i ask , i have heard that cast members have been strict about the pins you can trade now. Inly official disney. No fake or scrappers. But the pins on the boards you showed seemed like only scrappers. Have you experienced anything different with the boards?
We have heard that cast members are allowed to say no and have even been saying no to authentic pins!
@@pincessshannonthey are NOT allowed to tho. If they aint gonna use those good pins on the boards then they shouldnt expect us to give them good pins.
So casual guests can get in trouble for using pin boosm after 3pm? Or are cast members traiend to spot the more common trader people? I hate having the lanyard on all day getting on and off rides and was looking forward to gettibg a small book for my next trip.
Funny that 90% of the pin boards are still obvious fakes. Im curious what cast members say if you mention that.
This is unreal. Pin trading is already declining and they do this?
As someone who collects and trades pins myself, I always looked forward meeting those set up on the benches and have made multiple friends through pin trading who offer to help me trade my duplicates to complete my sets, so I am extremely disappointed in how Disney has treated loyal pin traders! And the fact that you aren't allowed to trade with anyone anywhere else is also bogus! There are so many fun people who blog (like you guys), who carry "PICK ANY PIN BOARDS" with them and trade pins around the parks with kids, and families who love this interaction and make it fun for them which is awesome, but the fact that you aren't allowed to do that anymore is bogus! It doesn't help that every remaining pin board (the ones that aren't disappearing mysteriously) have totally fake pins which leaves no chance of actually getting good trades except for the mini tables/benches. I for one HATE this new rule, plus the 3pm limit rule too. Disney has totally changed things for the worse and it seems like they are trying to eliminate pin trading all together which sucks since it's one of the main reasons I even still come to the park! Shame on them, they have ruined the magic with this nonsense! 😡
If I am bringing just one book to the park to trade what variety would you suggest bringing
I would suggest picking out the most popular characters that you think people would be most interested it, with a mix of hidden mickeys, rack pins, and any unique pins you have! 😁
And Disney is wondering why jo one is going to thier parks anymore. These type of silly rules on things that have been going on for ages is dumb, I do think the tables are a great idea the time situation has me scratching my head.
Hahaha so those people saying great we get the benches back don't actually get them they where removed !!!!! 🤣
I have to say that some of those pin traders were not that nice to be honest even to children. I get that the Bench Traders have ones that they are looking for. I get it . But, I have witness a Benched Pin Trader laughing at a lil one for wanting to trade a pin that was not up to value to the one they wanted to trade... I mean not all pin traders are the same though
benches meant to sit and take a break from walking ? hmmmmm.
EXCUSE ME !!! YOUR SWEATHER SOO CUTE
Aw, thank you! It’s from Forever 21 🥰
Do these restrictions apply to trading with cast members and the pin boards at shops?
No just with other guests, the boards/ cast are still out for the full park day
@@pincessshannon can you still trade with other guests when you are walking around? Just not setting up boards for display
No, they do not let you trade with other guests at all after 3 pm unless you are both wearing lanyards. Only lanyard trading would be allowed
@@pincessshannon oh wow... thank you for the updates
@@pincessshannon you should find out if they let you wear more than 1 lanyard
I stumbled upon this TH-cam video recently about the history of Disney pin trading (see: th-cam.com/video/eKvPEeXlew8/w-d-xo.html). It was only produced a few years ago, but it was somewhat shocking to see how a good idea has been distorted over time. The history video talks a lot about how trading facilitates interaction - yet the new rules seem to do the opposite.

That park would not even be there without the workers that run the joint. The bakers, the cooks, the stockers, the street sweepers, the painters and repair men. You know, all those under paid employees you could not give a rats asp about. You probably ate more food in one day than a single disney park cast member can eat outside the park in a week due to the poor wages they get. They are so underpaid its deplorable. I know of 32 members by name that have to live in their cars, mini vans and homeless shelters because they are paid so little. The next time you buy some food at the Disney park, buy something for a cast member. They are not allowed, by Disney law, to show it and can not accept it unless you offer it 3 times, but trust me, they will be more grateful than you think. That Happiest Place on earth is being run by very unhappy people. While you and laughing and having a great time, the cast in the park are starving and their hearts are breaking. While you are looking around to see what ride is nearby, a cast member is looking around to see if the security "mouse Spies" are watching them as they have to scratch their face or swat a fly. It's all a very dark illusion.
