My family and I are planning to visit Downtown Disneyland only in November just to walk around and pin trade. I enjoy visiting the shops throughout DW just for pin trading, but I haven't visited Disneyland in several years and never since my family and I have been into pin trading. Does anyone have information regarding the following at Downtown Disneyland?
1. Do the shops in Downtown Disneyland have special pin boards?
2. Do many of the DDland CMs pin trade?
3. Overall pin trading experience at DDland?
Thanks!

PIn trading in Disneyland is not anywhere close to WDW. It is better than two years ago,but seeing a cast member that trades is still few and far between. The DVC person should be a trader and also the Disney Visa card person. In the Disney store, I did not see very many cast members that trade.

Yikes! Thanks for the feedback. That's a little disappointing to hear. That's why even living in California, I go to DW for my vacations.

Just an update. Only traded about three pins on our three-hour trip to Downtown Disneyland.
