There is supposed to be a dedicated pin trading area at the D23 Expo in September, so that will essentially be the PTN I guess.

No - it's a public event open to anyone. You just get a discount in attending if you're a D23 member.

It was announced in the early D23 Expo promo material on the D23 website. I think they're looking to set it up as part of their Fan Pavilion/Collectors Forum.

Fan Forums

From toys and figurines to pins and any other Disney memorabilia, the Fan Forums at the D23 Expo is destination No. 1 for any Disney enthusiast!

^ It's only $35 or so for a one day ticket - which is pretty comparable to what you'd pay for a day at Comic-Con. I think it's definitely going to be worth checking out at least one day of the expo - between the keynote speakers, the movie screenings, the movie previews, the archive displays and a dealers' room - it all sounds great to me! Of course, I'm a big ol' Disney geek!

I'm sure it will be amazing, I just don't think I'll have that kind of money to burn.

^ LOL Totally understand. I can't afford the whole weekend, but I definitely want to go for a day to see what it's all about.

I also know that as this is their 'inaugural' year for the expo, they'll have to shake the bugs out (just like any new convention), see what works and doesn't and how they can make it even better the next year! But I really am interested in seeing at least one of the keynote speakers... I just haven't decided which one! I hope they announce more of a schedule for the expo soon so I can figure out which day to go.

Of course the Expo is in September, so they still have some time to figure it all out. As opposed to Comic-Con which is happening in four weeks and they still won't announce an official schedule for another two weeks even though membership to Comic-Con sold out months ago!
