When did you begin pin trading? May 2006
What made you want to choose pin trading as a hobby and why do you still continue? I had no idea pin trading even existed until my 2006 vacation since I hadn't been to Disney World since 1995 and I got hooked on it immediately. Plus I had been a Figment fan/collector since my first trip as a little girl in 1989 so adding Figment pins to the mix seemed a natural progression. I continue the hobby because it's always changing and there's always something new to look forward to!
What is you favorite magical moments dealing with pins and/or pin trading? Meeting great new people
What is your favorite pin? My Four Parks Epcot Super Jumbo pin that I was lucky enough to purchase on my trip last summer. My travel companions and I befriended the bartender at the Tambu Lounge over several nights of drinks and he was SO generous in offering to take us to the "cast member discount warehouse" back behind the Magic Kingdom to do some bargain souvenir shopping on his day off. After wandering around for a bit I came upon the pin in a display case! I couldn't believe it! I thought I'd never get that pin since it's in such high demand and the eBay asking prices were so outrageous! It was the most magical pin moment I have had yet and one of the most magical moments I've ever had at Disney. Hugs to all the cast members out there who help make even the littlest dreams come true every day and extra special thanks to the greatest bartender the Poly will ever have for his kind heart and thoughtful generosity!
If you won the lottery today, how would you spend it? Pay off my car and current student debt, set some aside for grad school tuition, treat my family to something special, join the DVC, buy an annual WDW pass and try to get my hands on all things Figment I couldn't afford before!
