Wow, that is incredible. Definitely not the case at WDW.

People probably don't go up to them as much, so they have pins that other Cast Members don't. Off the top of my head I know there's a Disney Vacation Club booth near Coke Corner (On Main Street) in Disneyland...

Two other things to keep in mind, at DLR it's first, first served (no playing cards) and the binders at Westward Ho are only on Fri, Sat and Sundays (as of right now) at 1:30 to 3:30.

Yep DLP & DCA (& DTD too). So I'll those to my 'places to look for pins' list/map. And the Disney hotels too, gotta check those, had some good finds at WDW last year, and also noticed that Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge (I think thats where it was) had a lot of Disney Vacation Club gear, like t-shirts, hats, keychains, luggage tags, etc. Pretty cool, you can go in the gift shop, drop $20 on some DVC stuff, and walk out looking like you just 'invested'...

Sometimes, there's a cast member (or two) win pins outside the Finding Nemo ride (I got a really great rack-pin [Stormtrooper eating Mickey Mouse ice cream saying "Get a Taste of the Dark Side"] from him there). Also, sometimes in the hat store in Tomorrowland (near the terrace).

Plus, throughout the clothing stores off Main Street, as well as a few stores near Pirates of the Caribbean (where it lets out in the French Market / New Orleans Square area).

Are...

The only come out and trade is the one held at Westward Ho. The other two locations discontinued it after last Summer.

Thanks, very helpful info, I appreciate it!
And I found a little bit of info on this: "Come Out and Trade" program, but some info was from 2004,
I think one page I was looking at was from a few months ago, hopefully the info is still valid, and I think
the Westward Ho one is the one Tiki mentioned. So can anyone confirm that CM trading (pin books)
is still going at at the locations, times, and days of the week mentioned here? I'm just copy/pasting
some...

There is a lady sometimes in the early afternoon outside of Little Green men with a small pin bag she trades from (Cast member) Also outside of Westward Ho they have 3 barrels where they have cast members that have pin bags for trading.... I think they start at about 2 pm. This is also where you can find the traders with there goods as well. No pin boards at all.

Last time I was at Disneyland in mid-March I found that Cast Members inside the Star Trader (Next to Honey, I Shrunk the Audience in Tomorrowland) usually have a pretty big selection of pins. Also, most of them have the shoulder strap with the little square of pins instead of the lanyard which typically has more pins on it.

Also, people working at the Disney Vacation Club booths scattered throughout the park usually have some good ones. People probably don't go up to them as...

So I'll be heading to DL next week, I've only been to WDW.
Are there certain places where you have to go at a certain time? Like at DTD in WDW in the Jewelery section of World of Disney when they have a cast member with a binder, and they are there for about 30 minutes, and they use a pack of playing cards to figure out what order you go in. Anything like that?
And are the trading tables at DTD back yet?
Any trading boards, or anywhere that just usually generally has a...
