Video of a pin trading event in Disneyland Paris
At last! After over a year of searching, I finally have a video of and can see exactly what goes on at a pin trading event in Disneyland Paris. This particular video is from a pin trading event in the Newport Bay Club hotel from 19th December 2009. The video is from David Oppenheim who actually has his own Disneyland Paris podcast where he features audio from the parks and can be found here. Thanks for sending me the link to your video David, aftyer hearing me go on about it…

Disneyland Paris Pins for January 2012 – Just One New Pin
It’s taken me ages to find out what the new pin releases are in Disneyland Paris for January 2012 as the pin trading page on the official website still has the December 2011 pins displayed. Thanks to a friend who is a cast member I at last have the January 2012 releases. As you can see there is only 1 new pin for January 2012 and that came out last Saturday, exactly 1 week ago. It’s the pretty standard Sorcerer Mickey, Castle and Earful Tower with the year pin release that…

Disneyland Paris Pins for November 2011 – Star Wars & 2012
I’ve been checking every day and finally the Disneyland Paris pins for November 2011 are out, and here they are: The pin releases have been getting better and better as the year has progressed, and now with November 2011 I can finally say that I like every single one of them. As a huge Stars Wars fans I really like those 3 pins, especially the Stitch General Grievous pin. Stitch does lend himself very well to Grievous, what with his extra limbs. I also really like the 2012 pins, which are…

Disneyland Paris Pins for October 2011 – Christmas Already!
It doesn’t seem like a whole month ago since we were talking about the September pins, but here we are with another set for October. Wow, Christmas pins already? I guess if there have been Christmas chocolates in the shops for a month then we can have Christmas pins in Disneyland Paris too. I really like the Pinocchio set, though I’m not sure why Chip and Dale are there too, surely Geppetto or the Blue Fairy would have been a better choice for the 4th pin and then let Chip and Dale…

Disneyland Paris Pins for September 2011
Thanks to a busy summer I completely missed the August 2011 pins! If anyone saved the information graphic then please send it my way, thanks. Without further ado, here are the September 2011 pins. As a huge Star Wars fans I’m immediately drawn to the Star Wars lanyard and pins, which are obviously to tie in with the September release of the Star Wars films on Blu-ray. I like that the lanyard set pins are classic trilogy characters as the focus these days seems to be a little too much on…

Disneyland Paris Pins for July 2011
Fresh off the press is the new Disneyland Paris pin releases for July 2011: Not much for my tastes there, cupcakes aren’t really my thing. Perhaps someone can explain the relevance of them – have Disney Cupcakes become the in thing lately? I quite like the Barbossa pin but only for the ship in a bottle dangling from the main part of the pin, though I’d have preferred that to have shown a photo of Jack and Gibbs, as that was a more memorable scene from the film involving a ship…
