So about a week ago, they announced this year's Pin Celebration event - The Florida Project. This is in commemoration of WDW's 40th anniversary. It will take place on Sept. 9-10, with a separate vinylmation event on Sept. 11, and the event being opened to the public on the afternoon of Sept. 11.
As with last year when they tried it for the first time with "Trade City, USA", this year they will have a ticketed breakfast reception and a dessert reception. The latter is followed by a special viewing area for Illuminations. This year, though, they are also giving a special pin for those who sign up for each of this reception. So that's new.
What is also new is the offering of box lunches at the event for an extra $15 per meal. I suppose they want to make it convenient for pin traders who don't want to leave the pin trading area. I think it's a good idea, but the offering could be better than just sandwiches. I can see them offering in the future a more extensive selection of food in the convention area and without having to sign up for it. It only makes sense, and you'll get people who were undecided to sign up to buy food there.
Still, we didn't sign up for the box lunches. I'd rather go out of the pin trading convention area and go eat lunch somewhere else (such as either Sunshine Seasons or one of the quick service area at the various places in World Showcase). We'll see what they offer for the box lunches this year and how reasonable they are.
