Pin trading is a huge part of my Disney life and I figured what better way to get to know this side of me than The Disney Pin Tag. SarahSnitch created this tag on her YouTube channel and I first heard about it through That One Couple TV (my favorite Disney youtubers) and although they didn't explicitly tag me they tagged everyone, so I hope this is a good basis to do it on! I've added a few of my own questions and hope you all enjoy. So without further ado, here is a deep exploration of my favorite pins and my pin life.
1. Which is your oldest pin? My oldest pin according to when it was made is a dumbo pin that I traded for in Animal Kingdom. It's just the cutest pin and the cast member who traded it with made my trip, so magical, you could tell he loves his pins and that it was one from his collection. This pin was made in December 2000 and was part of a cast holiday set!
2. Which is your newest pin? My newest pin is a LE 1000, 101 Dalmatians piano pin that my mom got me for my birthday. It's one of my bigger pins and because I play piano it means that much more to me.
3. A pin featuring your favorite character? I have many favorite characters so I picked my top 4. The first one is a full body Tiana pin. It's a rack pin, but Tiana's story has always had a special place in my heart. The second one is a cute Aurora and Prince Phillip pin that I got for my birthday. Aurora has been my favorite princess for as long as I can remember and Phillip is one of my favorite princes. The third one is a Megara and Hercules pin. Within Megara's sass I certainly see myself and can relate with how she deals with love. Lastly, is one of my favorite pins. This pin features Jacques and Gus Gus and is probably my cutest pin, not to mention Gus Gus is my favorite sidekick!
4. A pin that has a funny story behind it? I have many but one that is dear to my heart is a Tigger thermos pin that I had got to trade and ended up trading it on a Contemporary Resort pin board. Later my brother seemed to take an interest in pin trading, so I gave him one of my traders to use on that same pin board that I had traded on earlier, and lo and behold he picked my Tigger thermos cup. Like most things my brother had become disinterested with pin trading, and while changing hotels I found that my brother had left the pin on the table to just leave it. Not wanting to leave it, I grabbed it and still have it to this day!
5. Pin with the most sentimental value? I have two along with the ones that I have already mentioned. The first is my only Baloo pin and this means a lot to me because one of my favorite roles that I've played in my local theatre is Baloo. This pin always reminds me of the fun I had along with the recognition and awards I got for the role. The other is and Art of Animation Resort pin because that is the resort that I stayed in for my 17th birthday trip which was especially magical.
7. The pin that took you the longest to find/get? I'm not a big completer of sets, normally the character is more important to me than a completed set. My first trip pin trading I got a cute Chip pin and even though I had not seen the set before I just knew that there must be a Dale to go with it. I didn't find the Dale pin on that trip, but on my birthday trip I did, and although it was only two trips and eight months it was so exhilarating to find it.
8. How long have you been pin trading? I've only been pin trading for a year, which is approximately two Disney World trips. I'm so glad I discovered it before my trip last year.
9. How many pins do you have? I can't believe it, but I sat here and counted all my pins and have a total of....Drum roll please....252 pins!
