I am afraid to start! I won a lanyard last week as part of YOAMD and I have a pin from the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour and I bought Food and Wine weekend pins last year and this year...but that's about it.
However, now that I have a lanyard...I have a feeling my next trip I'll blow some $$ on pins.
Do you get all of your at DL or do you buy online
All it takes is a few pins and then you're hooked! I started with just a few and now I'm afraid to even see how many I have.
I buy probably 90% of mine on e-bay. All the resorts carry different pins and that's one of the best ways to be able to get them. Plus, most of the time, they're pretty reasonably priced.
I only have a few. Namely my "magic Music Days" pin when my marching band marched down MainStreet in 1997 and a Donald pin my dad gave me on my first trip in 1994.
But I do have a few bids out on some Duckie pins on ebay at the moment![]()
What are these lanyards I see people posting about?

I only buy them at the park or trade. Buying them on e-bay seems like cheating to me! (Err, pins I collect. I buy traders on eBay). So the collection grows slowly but that also means less money spent LOL
No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
No broken heart,
No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted...
I collect attractions, magical milestones, different lands, nightmare before christmas, any special event I attend (except the food and wine weekend last weekend because I was an idiot and forgot), pixar for my son, and anything that I just like.
I know that is very broad. I am even trying to expand a little more and get pins from the overseas parks and WDI.
Check out my new Disney Blog here. What it lacks in quality it makes up with... Well, nothing I guess.
i also found some cool pins at pincastle.com IF you buy 7 you get any one pin free. Not Bad. i am about to buy a Matterhorn pin their and couple of other.
So VERY COOL...just got my Cast Member Exclusive Disneyland MAP pin (where o where would I be w/o Ebay!?) ...I had NO idea how LARGE the pin is! I dare say, it's fit for framing! Has anyone else got this puzzle pin (6 pin set)? Framed it? WOnder how much it retailed for...I paid upwards of $90delivered...HAD to have it.
i like to collects lots and lots of pins and then wear them in themes. for the last few months its been all of the vmk pirate pins, some retro pirate disneyland sign, my beloved angels pin, and my orental mickey my cousin got for me in HKDL. i like itthey all look color cordnated

Come on you Galaxy.
I will collect rides, resort, Transportion, and Places around WDW.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread... I couldn't find the pin collection thread???
Finally bought a new memo board and put more up on it... I still have a few more that aren't up yet. So here are most of my recent ones...
And the whole thing...
The only new one not on the crown is a NYC Tink one from Disney1978It was too heavy for the crown, so it's now on the bottom of the other board. The crown's not a very well made board
I expect all thse pins to have fallen down my tomorrow!
