Thank you for this game! I have the Star Tours pin, and now it means so much more to me. 6:29 is my wedding date I would create a Fast Pass pin for the Jungle Cruise with 2:06 pm - my son's birthday and his favorite ride. It was a rainy day when we went to Disneyland on his birthday, and we will always remember the rainwater collected on the boat's canopy pouring on his dad during the Jungle Cruise ride.

Sounds like fun! Got me to post for the first time

After going through the list twice, these are my top 5 pins released in 2000. 1. https://pinpics.com/pin/770/ Are you kidding me?! How have I never seen this pin before?? It's GORGEOUS. Sleeping Beauty has a special place in my heart, I even named my son after Eyvind Earle! 2. https://pinpics.com/pin/828/ It's really kind of shameful that I don't have a Jungle Cruise collection. My dream job since I was a tweenager has always been to be a Jungle Cruise Skipper. I really should start a collection, and this would be a great one to start with! 3. https://pinpics.com/pin/1663/ The Kooky Cutouts series is so cute, but the Goofy one is the best of them all, because he IS kooky!! The design takes me right back to the 80's. Yes, I remember the 80's! 4. https://pinpics.com/pin/17471/ You had me at Swarovski. I have a few jeweled pins, but nothing like this! Swoon. 5. https://pinpics.com/pin/53/ This one is a very personal choice, because my Papa left me this pin. He and my Gigi were annual passholders at WDW for many years, including in 2000. They lived in Winter Garden, and would often go to EPCOT just for dinner. They traveled all over the world, but Disney World was their happy place. This pin reminds me of that.

I loved these pins and I suppose I should have clued in that the times weren't random! Looking through these, I found sooooo many connections! Star Tours 6:29 - Star Tours is a fave in our family and June 29th is my grandfather, brother in law & best friend's birthday! I also know that it would have been my daughter's birthday if I didn't suffer complications and have to be induced Jungle Cruise & Mission Space both are between 2 & 3 - which happen to be my birthday. Wish it wasn't Mission Space - I have nightmares from the only time I rode it. Mickey's Philharmagic 3:27 - my wedding anniversary! Space Mountain 5:19 - my brother was married May 19th, which is also my cousin's birthday. Dinosaur 12:06 - December 6th is an important date in Montreal because of the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre. I had friends who were there and survived and since my grandmother was the only woman in her engineering class, I've always gotten a kick out of hiring female engineering grads. If I were to create my own Fast Pass pin, it would have to be Peter Pan's flight!

OK so my biases are clearly going to come out because there were actually a LOT of REALLY GOOD pins released in 2000... #1 First up, my girl Tink and I'm specifically choosing the WDW version since I've never been to DLR. For Peter to be scolding her, you just know she's done something sassy & feisty. #2 Has to be the OG Princess Snow White. I love this entire set and coincidentally, it includes 5 of the 6 princesses I collect Since Tangled was still but a dream, I'll forgive its absence from the set. #3 Hard to believe Cindy was celebrating 50 years and although there were some great pins commemorating the event, I had to go with the WDW Cinderella gold velvet box set PP3355 (is this cheating?) because it has everything and because who doesn't like a blue velvet box? #4 I love PP49204 Robert Silvers Photomosaics framed set for three reasons - it's a series of #1 Sleeping Beauty pins that combine to shape the #2 Canadian pavilion at #3 Epcot. I've only seen pieces of this IRL and would love to see what this looks like in the frame. Such an original idea and when I looked through and saw so much of the artwork repeated in pins over the years, it reminds me we're due for some original pin concepts. #5 PP1870 is from another great series of pins (in my collection you'll find a lot of sets that came out in the 6 princesses I collect) and love that they use a Mickey head for the 000! I'm a sucker for a princess in bridal gear. This got knocked down to 5th place because it says WDW on the pin. I'm not a fan and try to avoid pins in my collection that say what park they're from. And normally I don't like dated pins either, but because of the logo, I made an exception for this one. I have no idea why some posted the listing and the others just did the pic when I did the exact same for each...

Seems like it definitely goes in waves depending on what has been recently released. From what I've been seeing the last few months, people are still looking for/trading the character ducks and trash can mystery pin series (bonus that these pins are larger sized mystery pins vs something like the icons) If you happen to be in the parks and can get the most current Hidden Disney bags, those are definitely trading like hot cakes as people try to complete either the entire series or a specific set. Same for if you happen to be there when a puzzle drops, many people will be eager to open boxes and trade duplicates to be able to complete it. Good luck and happy trading!!

Greetings, here to ask the question of what mystery pin packs trade trades the best? I got some of the imaginative icons on my last trip and people were all over them but it didn’t seem like they were collecting them. The stitch snack attack I feel like are decent (random: I pulled six pins out of one of the packs I purchased). I feel like those two are decent, along with the villains window set which I’m trying to complete but I still don’t know. Any knowledge would help for next time when trading with other guests.

Hi @Becky! It used to be origins only had one slot for information input so if a pin was released in multiple places, the origin would be multiple. With website updates, there is now the ability for more than one slot in that category. For example, if a pin is released at DLR, WDW, and online at the Disney store then the listing can list each of these. Older listings are slowly being updated by editors which is the reason the "multiple" category still exists but now has an added "do not use" attached. So new listings should not use this but instead list each place a pin was released. Once the task to update older listings is complete, the "multiple-do not use" will be eliminated. Hope that's helpful!

This was a very fun game! It is crazy how many memories are attached when seeing all of these pins from 2000. Just flooded with memories and so many I could have picked. Here are my 5 at least at this moment! 1. WDW - Mickey Mouse - Official Pin Trading This pin reminds me of why I started collecting pins. One of my jobs while in the Disney College Program WDW was to replenish cast members lanyards in the magic kingdom, and I was able to meet a lot of great people and cast members throughout the park every week. I have collected pins on and off now since 2002. 2. WDW Main Street Electrical Parade This is one of the first parades that I really remember seeing at Disney. I remember being in awe at the lights and loving the music and all the movement with the lights. It was simply amazing! 3. Disney Dollars I chose this because it reminds me of many Christmas’ and birthdays where I would get these as gifts for my spending money at Disney. I would be so excited to get these and all of the different bills with the different characters were so fun! Crazy to be excited for fake money that could only be spent at one place!!! lol to be a kid again! 4. The monorail and the Contemporary The monorail is one of my favorite ways to get from the parking area to The Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary is one of my favorite hotels to pass through. I’ve never actually explored the contemporary because I always thought you couldn’t just explore hotels if you weren’t staying there, but now that I know that isn’t the case, I am making it a point to go in there! 5. Pirates!!! If we don’t ride this attraction at least 5 times while at the park, it was a failed trip!!! Not really, but my wife and I love this ride and it is one of the must rides for us.

What does it mean when the “Origin” is Multiple. Do not use?

Sounds great

Well all I can say is, this was very difficult! I was amazed at how many pins I liked and how many of those pins I own or used to own. #1). Pin #39284. This was not necessarily my favorite picture because I like a lot of color. I chose it because Walt and Mickey were the starting point. And Disneyland was the first park I ever went to, (back in 1959). It is also my favorite park for the same reason. #2). #45192. This pin gets the number 2 spot because I spent a lot of time watching the original Mickey Mouse club and The Wonderful World of Color movies back in the 60’s. Yes, I am old. . There was actually one I preferred, #45192, but it had Mickey on it and I was only allowed to use him once. #3). #2191. I chose this pin as #3 because as most of you know, I love collecting cats and dogs although I would choose cats over dogs, (sorry Pluto my favorite dog). Anyway, this pin won because it shows my favorite cats, Figaro #1, Berlioz #2 and the Si and Am troublemakers #3. 4). #1710. This pin made the cut because I collect nurse pins. I was a nurse for 45 years before transitioning into a Health and Wellness Coach. I chose this nurse pin because I like the color blue better than the color green. 5). Pin#3134. This was my hardest because it was the last pin I was allowed to choose. I love #21138 which is the Headless Horseman and my favorite part of the Halloween party. However, I prefer Christmas over Halloween. My two favorite parts of Christmas at Disney were the Osborne Lights and the Candlelight Processional. I choose this pin because it has an angel which is part of the Candlelight Processional yet it is from the Osborne Lights which is no longer. So therefore comprises both of them, (kind of). Those were my choices for the year 2000, today. Tomorrow I might change my mind.

I actually chose 5 pins that are in my collection (or my wants) because they represent the pins I love best. #1: Dopey in a Bubble I love the dwarfs but especially Dopey. What can be more fun than Dopey in a bubble? Love that facial expression. #2: Eeyore as a Butterfly I love all of the Pooh characters but ultimately Eeyore is my favorite. To top it off, he is dressed as a butterfly, which is also something that I collect. #3: Flower and Garden Of the festivals offered at Walt Disney World, I absolutely LOVE the Flower and Garden Festival. #4: Kilimanjaro Safaris No trip to Disney World is complete without going on the safari at least once. I have been known to take the journey at least twice on most trips. The trip is never the same so it is exciting to see what each safari has to offer. #5: Hall of Presidents Not only is this a great air conditioned venue but it never ceases to thrill me to see all of the U S Presidents on one stage. Again, a trip to the Magic Kingdom is not complete without a visit to Hall of Presidents. Be sure to take the time to look at all the artifacts in the "rotunda" before you enter the theater.

I have a minor collection in transportation too - it is all part of the fun. What a great piece

Oh, wow! That Pluto bag is so adorable! They should have made a pin with that art . . . so cute. The pin bags are really fun. I have one of the older larger ones that just has the trading logo on the front, and the new one for the 25th Anniversary. It's cool to sort of separate different collections into each bag. Right now, I am using the small 25th Anniversary bag for the series of Pin Trader Medal pins. Only two more to go!! And I've added a few of the Hidden Disney and mystery pins to go between the medals.

@TheTwins I love this article!!! I have some to add and they might be in PinPics. My overall favorite is one with Pluto Where he says "Will trade for bones". And yes many from the Disney Catalog came with lanyards and lanyard medals!

Just did some online browsing (never a good idea) and came across a couple more interesting pin bags to share here! Here's a really cool one that's made to look like Chewie's belt and bag. If you're into Star Wars, this would make the perfect pin bag for a day at Hollywood Studios. Not sure when this was available, but it has to have been a while ago. And here was a really cool lot that includes a Disney Catalog pin bag and some matching accessories. This would sure be a neat way to display your Disney Catalog collection!

#1: Scuba Diver Mickey How can you not love this pin. This is just a great representation of Mickey having a great time and spending that time underwater. (If you know me you know why this is a great pin). #2: Lincoln 35 Years I have an exenstive collection of Pressed Penny Pins and this pin sort of falls into that category. Based on the number of people trading this pin it may be sort of hard to find. #3: USPS California I think I have 11 pins so far with the shape of California, this pin is also on my want list and may also be tough to find. #4: Disneyana Pin Trading 2000 Early on I had a pin board with a lot of "pin trading" pins. This is one I was alos never able to find. #5: Snow White Another great early pin trading pin. Snow White in her purist form. What is there not to love about this pin. (This is one pin from a set of 6)

That's great! Thinking about pins in a way that they bring back good memories or make you happy is what this hobby is all about. They can be as wonderful as a snapshot! And the Transportation is actually a very fun collection. Hope you get into them . . . or should I be hoping that Carol talked you out of them? Maybe just a tray or two with transportation pins wouldn't hurt, right?!

It's been awhile since we posted a new game, so to get things started (and illustrate the way answers need to be posted), I thought I'd play first! Now, on to my personal best-of-the-best list from Year 2000 releases. ~ Sarah #1: Real-cloisonne Belle Head If it wasn't for this pin, I would never have fallen down the rabbit-hole of real-cloisonne pins and older pins and everything that goes with it. In my mind, this pin always has pride-of-place in my collection! #2: United Kingdom Mickey-head Flag Icon Another real-cloisonne gem, Sis and I had a bunch of fakes of these pins (unknowingly) from years ago. When we got our first flag icon pin made of real cloisonne, the colors were absolutely breathtaking. This pin changed my outlook on this whole set of pins, as well as the red and blue tones from the RC pins. Wow! Of course, the UK is my dream vacation, so it's extra special to be the Union Jack. #3: American Adventure Pavilion Mosaic Framed Set Sis and I have always loved World Showcase, but we were never much on the American Adventure pavilion. That all changed last year when we went to EPCOT with a friend. He took us to see the Voices of Liberty perform and then see the animatronic show. Ever since, we've been reformed World Showcase travellers and listen to "Golden Dreams" before bed all the time. This is one of our very favorite pavilions, and this framed set is on the top of our Wants list. We've managed to get six of these frames now for different countries, and they're totally amazing! #4: UK Pavilion Real-cloisonne Pin This set of pins is so much more impressive in real life than any pictures can convey, and the reason I'm counting this pin in my Top 5 list is the manufacturing technique used for the thatched roof. The pin is real-cloisonne hard enamel, but the roof looks metallic. They achieved this by letting the base copper metal of the pin show through a tinted enamel filling, rather than an opaque color. #5: Theodore P. Trader Bear And in the final spot is a pin that is just so cool, and one I only just added to my collection with the help of a friend! Theodore was a genuine limited-edition Steiff bear released in 2000. He came with a sash that featured four pins on it, this being one. He's not easy to come by, but Sis and I got some mini Steiff bears in the shop at the Germany pavilion and plan to make our own small versions of Theodore! If you'd like to see some photos of Theodore and his Steiff friends, click here to check out a forum thread about them.
