All Activity

@ViciousLady exactly! Hit me up with questions pre-2000 and I’m golden. It’s a great idea to use those games/activities as a base. And good to know that they usually try not to make it too hard. Thanks for your insight!

I USED to be a lot better at Disney trivia, but I've gotten rusty over the years as new films/music/franchises get included. I feel like the cast members try and keep the trivia from being SUPER hard, unless you say you're a die hard fan lol The best study is honestly re-watching the films or reading some books on Disney history. Our family also plays a lot of board games and the Disney themed ones usually end up helping us memorize character names/traits/songs etc. Learning anything is just about reinforcement!

Okay, I thought I knew a lot about Disney, but now I’m questioning everything! I’m preparing to try pin trading in-person at the parks this week for the first time. Up until now, I’ve just been trading via Facebook groups for years, but I’m excited to try LIVE and in-person! I follow several pin traders on YouTube and every time they attempt trivia to trade for a better pin from a cast member - rarely do I know the answer! What is everyone studying, or where on earth are you getting your insane knowledge base from?!

Well it was disappointing to see that my very favorite snack didn’t even get mentioned. I love the Mickey head ice cream sandwich’s. They are so tasty and not too messy even in summer. Here are a couple of pins that honor this great snack. But let’s face it, when you are a chunky chick like me, most snacks are acceptable. However I don’t like churros, I know, I know, but I just can’t eat them. I do like a Dole Whip and if I can’t find a cart in MK I get a Doke Whip. It’s the best substitute I can think of at the moment. I also don’t eat Turkey legs or popcorn.

Wow, only one duplicate! Nicely done!

@Nanapinaddict That is SO sweet of you! It's been 7-8 years since I've been over in PA, great that you found a little Disney treasure spot!

Thank you so very much. I appreciate all your help. I bought this at an “All things Disneyanna” store outside Reading, PA. They had some others that looked like this kind but I don’t remember what they were. When I go back- not sure when- I’ll check or you can call them to ask if you want to see if they have “Lady and the Tramp”. If they do, then they will hold it for me, Becky Cragin, and I’ll pick it up and mail it to you. I always look for an excuse to get up there. I haven’t called but they suggested that I could. The owner seems knowledgable. thank you again for your help.

Here you go! There's a series of these propins out of germany. I am still trying to get all the old Lady and the Tramp ones. They are official Disney pins, hope that helps!

Google says this is “This item is a collectible Eeyore enamel pin from Winnie the Pooh, produced by ProPin in Germany. The pin features a sitting Eeyore with a slight smile “. Here are the pics. Thank you for your help I’m afraid I don’t know what that means

Just wanted to post a congratulations to everyone who has achieved their Trusted Trader pin already! @mollyanne made it last night, bringing our total for the first two months of the year to twelve official 2026 Trusted Traders! There's lots of feedback left everyday, so trading is going hot and heavy here. We're excited to see all the Trusted Traders who will join the ranks throughout the year!

I definitely have that problem with https://pinpics.com/pin/4153/ The amazing detail in the tree and the vibrant colors just captivate me every time.

That is a great collection! And I love how you have them in the classic frame. There was an earlier set of Loungefly Princess-themed Soft Serve pins, and I actually have them on my Dole Whip board! They were the first mystery set that I ever "needed" to have complete. Currently, I have a three-board display that houses my Hawaiian/Aulani/Polynesian/Moana/Dole Whip/Ariel collection -- which is my favorite. Here's the part that has the Dole Whip pins, though I'm a bit behind and have a couple more to pin on there. I made the top banner part, because there are no pins representing Pineapple Lanai at the Polynesian Resort -- which is my favorite Dole Whip location. And the large Moana with the oar is actually from the side of an Animators doll box. Worked great for board decor! In 2024, we were thrilled to find a real end table from the Polynesian Resort at Dayton Disneyana (Recycling the Magic was there with amazing stuff), so that sits in front of my board. And the planter there came from Bou-Tiki at the Polynesian. That's another collection . . . the Polynesian Resort tiki statue. Finding a colored fake orchid the right size for the planter was the hardest part! ~ Sarah

That's a fantastic haul!

Wow these look so great!

My guess is that she does not have a forum post count of three on her account. To submit a pin, a user must be a member for thirty days and have a forum post count of three. It's easy to do, if she hasn't done it yet. Posting an introduction thread is a good start -- and there are always games to play or replying to any threads. Here are some good boards to check out for that: https://pinpics.com/forums/forum/4-member-introductions/ https://pinpics.com/forums/forum/36-pin-games/ https://pinpics.com/forums/forum/65-talkin-pins-with-the-twins/

Hello, A friend of mine wants to submit a pin, she did not since the new system but submitted a lot before. She cannot enter into the right forum to start. She never went onto the forum before, only the database, is that the issue?

Nice haul!

At Disney World for Run Weekend and here are is our day one haul! Mystery boxes are so addicting lol

My favorite Disneyland snack is the alien-shaped macaron that is served at Alien Pizza Planet! I haven’t seen any pins made of this specific snack yet, but I am still looking to collect all the colors from the hidden mickey series that features traditionally-shaped macarons:

Laz, welcome to PinPics.

My keepers! I’ve had my eye on the cute Jasmine for awhile! So very happy to add her to my collection! Also was excited for the hidden Disneys because even though I had a Disneyland pass last year, they’ve been difficult to find out in the wild! From one sunny coast to the next, package is on its way to @DisneyCatMom

OMGosh, this is SO REAL. I have like 5 of that ONE pin. I'm constantly flipping back and forth on if I should let it (lol, THEM) go or keep it. At this point I have enough of them that they're banding together as their own little "Misfit Toys Island" collection.

Great question! Long response but filled with some great info! Pins should be bubble wrapped and then placed in either a bubble mailer or box. Since I mail trade often I buy my supplies on Amazon in bulk to get a bigger bang for my buck. I usually buy the big roll of bubble wrap and then just cut to size for the pin but recently have been getting more and more pin mail with pins in bubble pouches and I actually love that so I bought some 4 x 6 in pouches which is a great size because it fits most carded pins. Then all I need to do is slip the pin in and add one piece of tape to seal and it's ready to go. Another great tip is when I receive packages I save the bubble wrap if it's still in good condition and use that for future wrapping. I have the corner in my room set up with my shipping supplies so that it's all in one place and easy to access when I need to send out pin mail. Another thing to look into is shipping. You can save money by pre-purchasing your shipping online. Some people use Pirate Ship. I've never used it so can't speak to it but do know many people here use it and have positive experiences. I do all my postage online using USPS. You can go to their website and pre-purchase to get commercial rates. Then you can either print out the shipping label or they email you a QR code that you can take to the post office for them to scan and print off the stickered label. The savings will add up especially if shipping coast to coast, multi-pin trades, and heavier or larger packages. From my experience, 1-3 average size and weight pins with bubble wrap can fit in the lowest USPS weight category of 4 oz. If shipping more pins or heavier pins I use my kitchen scale to weigh my packages once I have everything bubble wrapped to have an accurate weight to input when purchasing the shipping label. Then as far as communication with people you are trading with, I always like to exchange photos of the pins front & back and disclose any flaws. Once the trade has been agreed upon, I like to let them know around when I will ship out and the tracking # with estimated delivery date. Last trading step is don't forget to leave feedback once you've received your pin mail and toggle your pins on your owns/trades list. One of my favorite parts is toggling a pin from the crown icon to the heart icon and seeing my collection grow! Once you hit 25 positive feedbacks in a calendar year, you earn the PinPics Trusted Trader profile badge & pin! To claim just need to send our amazing admins @TheTwins a message letting them know you've hit your 25 trades & your mailing address so you can get your pin! The Trusted Trader and Feedback page are great places to start to find people actively trading on the site. Hope you find this helpful! Happy Trading! It's so fun! -Jazmin

Hi! I wrap my pins in bubble wrap, and then put them inside bubble mailers for shipping. I know that some people like to put the pins on something sturdy, like cardboard, inside the bubble wrap.

Hello! I wanted to check and see how others packed their pins when trading via shipping. I want to start reaching out here to do trades, but I'm just a little nervous/want to make sure I package everything properly! Thank you so much!
