Guidelines for Disney Pin Trading


Guests can enjoy the tradition of pin trading with Cast Members who wear lanyards or pin packs across Walt Disney World Resort. When you are trading Disney pins at Walt Disney World Resort, please follow our etiquette guidelines:


  • Official Disney Pins
    Only official Disney pins may be traded. The main criteria when judging whether a pin is tradable or not (although other factors may be considered) is that the metal pin bears a "©Disney" mark on the back—representing an official Disney event, place, location, character or icon. A Walt Disney World Resort Cast Member may determine not to trade a pin at their discretion.
  • Safety
    For a safe trading experience, please trade one pin at a time.
  • Ask First
    Please refrain from touching the pin or lanyard of a Cast Member or Guest. If you need a closer look, kindly ask the Cast Member or Guest wearing the pin or lanyard to bring it into clearer view for you.
  • Pin Condition
    Pins should be in good, undamaged, tradable condition with the pin backing attached.
  • Trading Maximum
    Guests may trade a maximum of 2 pins per Cast Member or trading board, per day.
  • Not Exchangeable for Trade
    Monies, gifts, vouchers or receipts may not be exchanged or used to trade for a pin.
  • Okay to Trade
    • When trading with a Cast Member, Guests should offer a pin that is not currently displayed on the Cast Member's lanyard or trading board.
    • Pins from other business units of The Walt Disney Company (e.g., ABC, ESPN) may be traded, as determined by the Cast Member.
    • Operating participant pins that show a Disney, Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort affiliation are generally accepted for trading.
  • Not Okay to Trade
    • Unauthorized pins, plastic pins, rubber pins or other nonmetal pins.
    • Personalized name pins
    • Brooch-style or clasp pins
    • Disney Service Award pins, Disney Legacy Award pins, Partners in Excellence pins or Cast Member costume pins (i.e., VIP Tour Guide, Coordinator, Disney Trainer)
