Still one of the best places on property to shop for pins. I believe this is the biggest pin trader location at Disney World. They have a tremendous selection of pins available along with some special pins that you can only buy if you're a season pass holder or a DVC member or other others. Every time you visit, you will find new selections of pins along with many of your old favorites. If you're looking for blind boxes, this is a great place to shop as well. They always have other types of merchandise available in limited supply, but they do have a really good selection of the programmable wristbands if you are vacationing or just want your ticket to be held electronically on your list. The cast members here are always friendly and I believe there is always a pin trading board available. Everything here is Disney priced but so far as pins go most of them are fairly reasonable. They do occasionally get something very rare or larger sized that can be on the pricey side, but there are always pins available for anyone shopping here. You can find all your favorite characters represented and many places represented. Basically, if it's Disney, there's a real good chance that there is a pin of it somewhere. read more

My daughter started recently collecting Pins on the last Disney World trip that we had over the Holidays. One of the stores we stopped by while visiting Disney Springs was Pin Traders! Pin Traders is located at the Marketplace in Disney Springs. It's next to Once Upon a Toy, Earl of Sandwich, and the Marketplace Carousel. Current hours are from 10:00 A.M - 11:00 P.M, but times may change, so make sure to check the Disney World mobile application! This place has so many pins! Their lanyards and keychains are pretty cool here too! It also has MagicBands if you're looking for a new MagicBand for Disney World. Pin Traders does offer the starter sets if you're new to Pin Trading! Some of the pins at Pin Traders include Theme Parks, Resorts, Animated Features and so much more! My daughter found the Up grape bottle cap at this Pin Traders store and the beauty and the beast pin she was looking for! When we visited, it didn't seem too busy inside, but it is a open kiosk store. It's probably one of the best locations we visited for pin trading! read more

Date of visit: March 2, 2025 I stopped in here looking for one more souvenir for my employees, preferably a pin from one of her favorite Disney characters: Mulan, Pocahontas, or Moana. After dodging some of the freaks poring over these pins like it was the Treasure of the Sierra Madre, I found a Mulan pin (that was the one I was secretly hoping to find anyway). Taking it up to the register, I had a less than magical experience with Hasmitaben P. She would not take the pin from me, but made me set it down on the counter near here so she could scan it. There was no greeting and she just looked at me when the total displayed. I paid with credit card and then she handed me the receipt like I was visibly showing signs of smallpox. Honestly, if there was another opportunity to get this pin before leaving Disney Springs, I would have gone there instead. read more

This is easily my favorite spot in Disney Springs and a MUST if you are a pin collector like me...something I discovered for the first time on this trip! It's your one stop shop for basically every single pin currently available at the Disney parks and resorts, along with the biggest collection of Magic Bands I saw the entire time as well! We stopped by here a time or 5 during our visits to Disney Springs to stock up on pins and mystery boxes of pins - the latter of which is great for pin trading even if you get something in your mystery box that you aren't the most jazzed about! Once you familiarize yourself with the pins here, you'll have a much easier time skimming the pin stands you find along the way throughout the parks and other resorts you visit and have your eyes peeled for ones you didn't see at Pin Traders to evaluate whether you want to add them to your collection or not! This place is Disney MAGICAL and I love it! I can't wait until the next time I'm back here and can get my hands on a whole brand new stock of pins! read more

Good but not great, this place has definitely gone down since ast time I visited. Mainly because it lacks a good selection of pins. Most of these overpriced pins are ones you wouldn't want. The designs are just so blah. If you're a real collector looking for pins you're better off going to eBay or going to the park itself. read more

Lots of cute pin choices! I recommend getting a locking pin back set for $12.99 so your pins don't fall off.

Love love love coming here whenever we come to Disney Springs. This store is a MUST GO TO if you're a huge pin collector/lover like me. It's an open store so it feels very spacious and despite the amount of people that walk in and out of it, there's still a lot of room to make your way around the store. Everything is always so neatly organized and categorized which helps you find what you're looking for. The staff are super friendly and helpful too. They have multiple registers open so the lines never get long. Along with pins, they also sell lanyards for pin trading. We will always find ourselves coming here and buying at least 1 pin whenever we're at Disney Springs! read more

The ultimate Disney pin experience, They have so many pins and the ones that are released through out the year. I had no idea until I got into it. This is a big business and an expensive hobby. It's the ultimate way to bring a piece of Disney home with you. Great staff and helpful at this store which odd in the middle of Disney springs. Before covid they used to have pin boards or the staff would be wearing pins on their lanyards that you could trade with but they did not have this available today unfortunately as that's one of the most fun thing about pin collecting is the trading and the "treasure hunt" to find a pin you'd like to trade for. They even had the 50th anniversary of Disney world set. read more

If Disney pin trading is your jam then this store has the largest selection of pins and is the busiest trading place in all of Walt Disney World. Besides selling pins which range in price from 8 to 15 dollars they also sell the lanyards, starter kits composing of lanyards with several pins already attached, and novelty items like key chains. Some pins are priced higher if they are limited edition or jumbo sized. The store also has several pressed penny machines that turn your pennies into a souvenir. If you are unfamiliar with pin trading it is when people walk around in lanyards covered in Disney pins. Pins can represent rides or Disney characters. Special events held at the park are also issued commemorative pins. You can trade with cast members who are obligated to trade with you up to two times a day. They can only refuse if your pin does not have a back or if it is a knock off pin without the Disney trademark on the back. You can't buy pins from cast members, you can only trade. You can also trade with other guests who do not have to trade with you unless they want to. Pin trading can be a fun and addictive hobby when you are at the parks. Just know that it can also get quite expensive. Disney outlet stores carry pins which can make the hobby a little more affordable. Once you get bitten by the pin trading bug you won't want to stop collecting. read more

We were visiting Disney Springs and came across this unique pin shop. My kids were curious about starting a Disney pin collection and so we decided to stop in and chat with the staff to see what the ins and outs were. I knew there were Disney fans who collected and wore pins of course, but I didn't realize it was such a big thing. Apparently there are groups of people who trade pins online and there are even events where they meet and show each other their collections. When we started browsing I was impressed with the amount and variety of pins they had. They had just about everything you could think of, pins for theme parks, characters, movies, etc and there were many variations and limited editions. There were also a wide variety of binders, lanyards and other storage mechanisms. We started out small, a lanyard and 2 pins, which came out to around $40 per kid. Very pricey. But I hope it's the start of a nice wholesome hobby that that can continue doing for years. read more

The name of the store pretty much says it all! They have Disney Pins, Disney Pins, Disney Pins, and more Disney Pins! They have more Official Disney Pins in one location than you can find anywhere else on Disney Property. You'll find the standard rack pins, limited edition pins, hidden mickey pins, vinylmation pins, etc. They also sell lanyards for your pins, books to store your pins, etc. They even sell limited edition pins which have been placed onto a Disney print and framed (those can get quite costly). Cast Members here are always very helpful. If you are looking for a specific pin and they have it in stock, they'll know exactly where to help you look. They will also help you by looking up pins which have not yet been released so you'll have the date to come back. Also, make sure to bring pins to trade. All the Cast Members here wear the pin trading lanyards. During the peak seasons and often on the weekends, you will find locals set up outside the store with tons and tons of pins who are willing to trade. The locals often have hard to find hidden mickey pins, so depending on the pin and it's value, they may ask you to trade several pins for one. Basically, this is the dream store for anyone into Disney Pin Trading! read more

If you fanatically collect the Disney pins then this store is a place you'll want to be sure you stop in and browse. They have nearly every combination and type of pin you could want with Disney - they also had about 4 of those souvenir penny machines for $.51 where you can select your penny and smash it as a keepsake. Also - they have some cute life-size Disney statues/figures you can have your pictures taken with - one of Donald and Daphne Duck and one of Mickey and Minnie. Staff inside are friendly and more than willing to snap a photo for you if you ask them. There were 2018 pins and new Star Wars pins and birthday and wedding pins, you name it - they had it! read more

Pin Trader is a store where you can find all different kind of pins. Pins can range from $9.99 to $14.99. There are so many different variety pins here. More than the parks and the resort gift shop. I was able to find certain pins that I did not see at the parks or the resort. Each cast member can trade up to 2 pins per person. They usually are wearing a black lanyard or a black poach full of pins. There were around 4 penny sovereign machines .51 cents. If your lucky and come at the right time there's a magical box you can spin that comes out random times. And when it does, u would want to stand in line spin the wheel, one of the door opens, and u can the pins. The pins are supposed to be limited, unique, or mystery pins that are hard to find. Unfortunately, we did not get to see this happen when we were there. Our family of 5 did pin trading whenever we can. It's a fun hobby but it can be pricy. read more

I can't believe is going strong.. I was a cast member when pin trading started getting HUGE.. and it appears to be just as big these days. Seeing all the new pins is pretty cool, to be honest. They have oodles and oodles of different styles, from the limited editions, to the common ones. You can ask any cast member with a lanyard or pin flap on to trade and they'll happily do so. Some stores even have pin boards.. All I can say is this is ONE addiction I don't need to have, it can get VERY expensive. read more

Pin Traders - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Any pin traders out there? If you trade Disney pins or have any interest in trading Disney pins than Pin Traders is the place to go to. They have the greatest variety of pins in one place on any Disney property. I had pretty much seen all the pins before, but they had been in various stores on different properties. At pin traders you can pretty much find all the current pins at one place. There are several cast members available to help pick the perfect pin. All cast members also have pins to trade.I did not find all the cast members as helpful as other yelp reviews described. I was looking to complete a pin set and everyone I asked were pretty clueless. Also, not one cast member volunteered any information. For example, Pin Traders has limited edition pins however, they are behind the counter and you have to ask to see them. My family was all obviously interested in pin trading but the cast members did not volunteer that they had a huge "pin wall". We had to ask. The pin wall is huge and worth hanging around for. The only problem is it is opened up randomly so you have no idea when it will open. Funny, my kids get obsessed with pin trading when they are at Disney and then when we come home they completely forget about it. It's really a way to make your trip to the parks a little bit more interactive and fun....for "kids" of all ages! read more

This is pretty much the first place I aim for when I come to Disney Springs. They have a really good selection here. They have a pin box you can trade pins with but it comes out randomly for 20 minute intervals and even the staff don't know (or won't say) when it will be out. I love pin trading so I love coming here. read more

Cool pins from Disney. Can't give them less than a 5 star because as advertised it is just a pin shop. They had cool Disney pins and a lot of other merchandise. read more

Searching for a certain Disney pin? I would suggest coming here over anywhere else. Pin Traders is exactly what it sounds like, a store dedicated to pin trading! They have a huge selection of pins sorted by genre so locating what you're looking for is super easy to find. They also offer the limited edition pins for D23 members, annual pass, vacation club and just some other those other cool LE Disney pins they release from time to time. They also showcase the newest hidden Mickey cast member pins in one of the display cases. They have a wall for trading but I never had the pleasure of seeing it, it's only open during certain times. Another cool thing about Pin Traders is that if you spend $30 they usually have a special mystery pin you can buy for an extra $1. When I was there in January it was cute key pins that represent a character and right before I left in July it was black and white picture frame pins. I usually bought my Vinylmations here to hit the $30 and get the pin until I became more obsessed with pin trading than Vinylmations lol. This is also another DTD location the trades Vinylmations! read more

So, 2 Christmas ago, we had a family reunion down in Disney World. My sister in law introduced my children to pins trading. Let just say that was a bad idea because I have now spent so much money on these things, for myself :) This is a great place for all pin traders, beginners and vets alike. It offers the board to trade a few times a day. We normally hit it first thing we arrive at Down Town Disney. read more

A must stop for ever Disney Springs stop. Even though things are different with pin trading they still have a large selection of pins here to shop. This time I ended up picking up a parks exclusive Star Wars Funko pop. read more

This is the ultimate Disney pin shop. They have more enamel pins than you could ever put on a lanyard. I've been here multiple times and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. I had no idea how pin trading worked. A cast member took the time to explain everything and even offered me a few tips. If I am in Disney Springs, this location is a must visit before I leave. read more

If you love pins, and you know you do, you have to visit here! Sooner or later, you will get the pin bug. The more you visit WDW, the more pin collectors you will see, with their lanyards laden with pins. Pins commorate the rides and characters and parks at WDW. They also have pins for holidays and runs and...everything! The only negative is that the place is pretty cramped and dark, with everyone crowding around the same areas, it can get claustrophobic! read more

I spent the first 23 years of my life avoiding this place like the plague, because I knew what would happen: an addiction. At year 24, I fell in love with a Tower of Terror pin and I haven't looked back since. Yes, pins can be expensive. Yes, often times people trade their fake eBay lot pins. My suggestion? Buy and keep the ones you like. If you want to trade, buy some mystery pins, trade cast members but ask to SEE them to inspect for fakes. It's not their fault, they just can't deny a guest a trade. Pin Traders is overwhelming and fantastic all at once. I love spending lots of time here longing to be able to afford every pin here. The cast members are always sweet and helpful. Whether you're a serious collector or just getting started, they have something for everyone. read more

I was always a bit hesitant to start pin trading -- and this fear goes back to my second trip to Disney World as a teenager. But I decided that I'd take the plunge, because the reality is that there is no better place to start than Disney. And this place is a good spot to start. They have seemingly everything that Magic Kingdom does (well, not everything since you don't have as many Cast Members to trade with) but it's not as crowded and seems fully stocked. I'm pretty sure had I not executed a few trades that night as a test run here, that I'd likely not do it at the park. All I'm saying is that as a newbie, it just isn't as daunting. read more

The castmembers here helped make magic for me today. It was my last day at Disney World and I need one more pin for my villainous sidekicks set. I didn't get their names but two castmembers went the extra mile to help me find this one. Also the selection here is very vast and they have great starter packs here. read more

You know, I honestly don't get the whole pin trading thing. But let's just imagine that I did.... Pin traders would be my one stop shop for all of my pin trading needs. A large variety of pins from many price points. Princess pins, mickey pins, toy story pins, oh my. And don't forget the accessories to store/display your pins. Pin-tastic! read more

This is indeed where you would need to go in order to purchase pins from a large collection, especially limited edition pins that are available resort-wide. I always tend to come here first when looking for pins because, well, Downtown Disney is free, and I know I will be spending a ton on the pins themselves. Darn it! It is located almost to the East end of the Marketplace section, across from Once Upon A Toy and adjacent to Earl of Sandwich. The "shack" itself doesn't seem huge, but pins don't really take up that much space. The unfortunate thing about this structure is that there is no A/C. Or if there is, it sure doesn't feel like it in the hotter months. They have fans on full blast, but it's not usually enough to curb the heat. I tend to find myself going there to get what I need and get out as fast as I can. All the Cast Members here will have lanyards with pins to trade. And actually, this is one of the best places to do so, including the Cast Members that are around the Pin Traders area - the refreshment stand across, those in Once Upon A Toy, the folks working the Disney Vacation Club booth that's closest, and the Guest Relations area. Especially if you're looking for the mystery pins that they have currently on sale. They also have a giant pin board here that will open at random times. If you happen to be there around this time, stand in line immediately to trade as they will cut off the line rather quickly. Another thing I wish they would improve is the fact that there is only one register that you can purchase the limited edition pins from, and there is a tendency for the line at that register to get pretty long on release days (Thursdays), especially when there is usually only one person working the register. read more

Omg pin trading is fun for those of all ages! Some of these pins are just so adorable! if you're looking to start your pin collection be sure to stop in this store! Also this store gets a bit of pin trading traffic so it's a perfect spot for trading! read more

All the Disney pins you could want & more. Things you didn't even know existed are here!! Now you can even purchase personalized magic bands!! read more

Um, well, this is a Disney pin store that has a lot of pins. Lots and lots of pins. Though it was disappointing there were only a couple of Cars pins and the only baseball pins you can get are the Yankees and the Red Sox. I mean, seriously, in Florida, no Rays or Marlins pins. And no Lightning McQueen pins (unless you buy a $40 set). But still, lots of pins. Even found a Rescuers pair for my wife. Where are the Black Cauldron pins? Come on! (Just kidding, but that would be cool. I'd by them.) read more

giant disney pin store at DD...we usually get at least one pin when we shop at DD...next i will need a pin pouch to carry them all
