Disney's Pin Celebration 2008 - Pin Trading University

It feels only like a few weeks since we were at the Expedition Pin event at Coronado Springs and Animal Kingdom. Now we are already registered and looking forward to our next pin event - Disney's Pin Celebration 2008. This is the largest yearly pin-event that Disney organizes, and typically gets attendance from pin fans from all over the world. This year, the theme is Pin Trading University and it will be held, as usual, at Epcot's World Showplace between Sept. 5-7 2008.

There are already artists drawings of the pins that will be released for that event. I haven't decided yet which ones I will get. I'm waiting for the actual pin pictures to be uploaded before deciding, especially when there's still plenty of time to fill up the Random Selection Process forms.

What is interesting this year is that the first day of the pin event (Sept. 5) is also the first Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year. Yup! It appears that they moved the party to an even earlier date this year. I think last year the first one started around Sept. 15. So the pin attendees contingent here from the Chicago pin trading group are also planning on attending that evening's MNSSHP. We attended one last year and had such a good time. We didn't plan on going again this year, but since it is there, and most of our good friends are going, heck, we can't pass it off. I just have to figure out a costume to wear that's different from last year, but is still easily packed in my luggage. Dressing as a pin-trading nerd is way too easy. :)

Lots of fun things to look forward to....
