Editorial Summary

The creators document a day of pin trading that begins at Disney Springs and concludes at the Port Orleans resorts. They initially find Disney Springs to be overly crowded, noting that cast members appear too busy to engage in trading. After exploring various locations including the Lego store and a specialty kiosk, they decide to take a boat to a quieter environment. Upon arriving at Port Orleans Riverside, they find a more relaxed atmosphere and successfully engage in trading at retail locations and with a pin board. The creators also interact with other guests and cast members, discovering that resort general stores are often better locations for trading than food service areas. They conclude that the resort setting is much less stressful and more successful for pin trading than the high traffic areas of Disney Springs. The video also features observations on identifying authentic pins versus fakes and mentions specific items like spirit jerseys and specialty Disney pins.

We are quickly finding out that Disney springs may be entirely too crowded to do any pin trading right

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do pin trading at resort retail locations rather than Disney Springs to avoid crowds and busy cast members.
Check for raised edges on pins to ensure they are not fakes; flat pins may be counterfeit.

Pin trading with busy cast membersLook for retail/general store locations where cast members are less slammed with customers.
Identifying fake pinsLook for raised elements; if the pin is completely flat or the nubs are ground down, it might be fake.
