Anyone interested in some 'live' footage of 'Scoop Sanderson's 'Pin Chat' with Steven Miller at MOP should have a listen to the enhanced podcast version of the the Disney Pincast episode 67 (just released) on ITunes.

It can also be found here: The Disney Pincast

There are some pics of the presentation screen in the podcast, some of the 2010 pins can be seen.

Our family also thought that this event was the smoothest and easiest going that we've ever been to! So, we're glad to hear that many others felt the same. We were kind of leery about the quality of the event with so many Event Services and other Disney managers laid off in recent months, but we were completely amazed at how quick and easy everything went! It purely showed the talent and hard work of Steven Miller, Jim Matthews, and all of the other Event Services and event cast...

I was just curious as to when the normal August blackout periods are?

I agree that it should not be when locals are "blacked out", so how about SEPTEMBER??? My big gripe is that the crowds were much larger than in September so I did not get to enjoy as much of the parks. We had a great time at the event and will probably attend next year. It will be hard to top all the great pins that were released this year, much better than PTU in my opinion. I loved the special hidden mickey pins, since I have no desire to collect AP pins, they were very easy...

I'm glad to hear they are considering holding an event after the seasonal passholder blackout dates for the summer expire. There are lots of things that go on during the summer that we can't even consider attending since our dates are blacked out. I realize that some of it is just the price we pay for having the "cheaper" (relatively speaking) passes but it would seem like these kinds of big pin events would be something where it would benefit Disney to have more locals able...

August is too hot, too humid, height of hurricane season - ugh. I don't expect we will be there next year.

All in all a good event.

One "advanced trader" took advantage of DH while I was not at the table and I was a bit steamed over that but them's the breaks.

Overall we had tons of fun, did probably 1,000 trades and had a great time. Looking forward to doing some trading at DLR next month.

It was a very nice event. There did not seem to be as many folks there as last year, but it was still quite full. And the AC was working just fine (yippee!).

I did good trading for friends and a few very nice friends were good enough to get Figment APs off the boards for me.

Mostly, it was just super to be able to see Kellybean (nice surprise!), Jes, Shell, Kay and Simon, Terry, Winnie, George, Barbara, and lots more familiar faces.

This was a very nice and as someone has already said, "laid back" event. I never felt rushed or stressed. The lines for the boards were really nice on friday. My wait was only averaging 15 minutes. It took a bit more time on saturday, like 30-40 minutes. Still not too bad. I didn't do it much though. I got 2 of the watermelon and about 8 of the blue ribbon HM's. I'm going to use them as award pins for my cafeteria staff at school this fall. They love getting my cute...

There was a Hidden Mickey that was round and green and simply had writing on it that read "This is not a pin!" There will also be a Scoop Hidden Mickey pin.

If you mean hidden mickeys, yes, but it was a fast glimpse, so you couldn't get pictures. The only ones I remember were the chernabog (which means a new villains set Woo-Hoo!!), and the "this is not a pin" pin.

I'm really overwhelmed by this past weekend. First pin event and for me it...

Can't say next year's WDW pin event theme (or August date!) grabs my attention, but I love the Dateline Disneyland 55 logo - it's very retro and SHAG-looking! I like!

some nice looking pins...clearly I think they need to release more vinylmation pins ;-) I thought the tribute to old releases were an April fools joke a while back

To add to Shell's GREAT report.. Thanks Shell.. this was on What's HapPINing today...

One of the highlights was the announcement of Disney Pin Celebration 2010. The theme next year is Trade City, U.S.A.. Steven invited all long time and new residents of "Trade City" to help celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the founding of the city. He also explained that Trade City is an eclectic city (a cross between Radiator...

Ahoy all,

We on the west coast have been waiting for news of the WDW pin event. Since there is no more Dizpins News and Joette is NOT in FLA, we are news-less! The only posts I've read have been about the upcoming hidden mickey pins and who won the grand prize. So, what happened? What were the pin gifts? Who did you see? How was the trading? What did you do? Come on!!!

Aprille :-)
