Uuu... One of the best parts about Disneyland!
If you are into Disney and want to get a hobby that is fun while you are at Dineyland, definitely start this perk! I got to warn you , this hobby is not cheap, but it is So Much Fun!!! There is an Actual Pin Book, if you want to collect specific groups of pins, they will let you know which pins are within that group (princesses, villains, star wars, etc.)
Pins are sold in every store to start off of, and the fun part is the Trading! to collect the perfect set that you are looking for :)
​
There are also Special Pins:
1. Member Pins - The way to recognize Member Pins is they will have Hidden Mickeys on the front image. In the back it will have Disney Logo, and it will say Hidden Mickey Pin, and it will include the number out of how many in its group Ex. 3 of 6, 2 of 8, etc. Just in case if you want to collect the whole set, and that's where the book comes in handy :)
2. Collectors Pins - These pins can be very pricey and Very Hard to come by. They are Limited Edition which will say on the back and the number that they have manufactured Ex. 100, 500, 1000, etc. The less the number the more rare of course it is and the more valuable it will be :) You will be surprised how many times people trade those in without knowing and then I get to snach it hehehe... Well, Trade it in for a much less valuable one :)
