August 2010 Visit.
Carolyn and I arrived in time to attended the
pre-registration for the Pin Convention at the Yacht Club. We
picked up our new pins and received our free sign up gifts -
Our Trade City T-Shirts and a book with two Trade City Pins.
The concept of the book was to fill it with pins from the
Mystery packs of Trade City Road Signs. What a neat idea!
Turned out not to be so hot because there were no Mystery
packs to be had.
The following day we arrived shortly after the 9:00am
opening and began standing in line to trade off the Pin
Boards. Although there were some AP's and Blue backed
"10" to be had the majority of the boards had hidden Mickeys
and non-mystery pack road signs.
We spoke with many of the attendees they too were
disappointed with this year's Pin Boards. I am sure had there
been Mystery Boxes to purchase the Buzz would have been more
positive. All in all we had a good time at the convention.
Disney had many of the up coming Pins displayed ( I hope to
get the images up soon).
Carolyn and I set up at Epcot on Monday and Tuesday to
trade with other guests and had a great time. Based on all the
wonderful people I spoke with from the UK, I'm not to sure
anyone was left to mind the store in England.
As always I am behind on this site as I am on the plane
coming home from our September trip.
