Pin trading is an incredibly popular tradition for so many Disney fans. Guests can purchase pins in the parks and then trade them with other guests and Cast Members!

This tradition has gotten so popular that there are even special pin trading events! The past few events — in 2020 and 2021 — have been held virtually, but in 2022 the event will take place in person at the Walt Disney World Resort! Disney just released information on the event, including dates and location details.
The 2022 Pin Celebration will take place Friday, August 12th, through Saturday, August 13th, 2022, at the World Showplace pavilion in EPCOT. This is a large pavilion located between the United Kingdom and Canada pavilions in World Showcase.

The theme for this year’s event is One Family, which is inspired by Walt Disney’s love for his daughters and his dream to build a place for families to have fun together.

I love pin trading. Although my dear Mother had never been to Disney World, she enjoyed looking at the new pins I had traded for whenever I came home from a trip.
