Disney Pin Trading Etiquette


  • Have fun! Disney Pin Trading can be a great way to interact with and meet Cast Members and other Guests.


  • The main criteria to judge whether a pin is tradable or not is that it must be a metal pin that represents a Disney Event, Location, Character or Icon. Some pins from our Operating Participants are also tradable, but must represent the Operating Participant in a way that has a specific Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort affiliation.


  • Pins should be in good, undamaged condition.


  • Trade one pin at a time, hand to hand, with the backs attached.


  • Guests may trade a maximum of two pins with each Cast Member.


  • Guest may trade only one pin of the same style with a Cast Member.


  • When trading with Cast Members, Guests should offer a pin that is not already displayed on the Cast Member's lanyard.


  • Please refrain from touching another person's pins or lanyard. If you need a closer look, ask the person wearing the lanyard if they can bring it into clearer view for you.


  • Disney name pins may not be traded with Cast Members.


  • Monies or gifts may not be exchanged or used in trade for a pin.


  • In addition to the 12 pins on Cast lanyards, some Cast Members may wear a "Showcase" pin. These "Showcase" pins are for demonstrations to our Guests and are not available for trade.
