2013 Disney Trading Celebration

The info for the 2013 Disney Trading Celebration - 13 Reflections of Evil - has been released. For the first time since we first participated in the Pin Celebration event in 2005, we are going to miss this one.

Other than potential scheduling issues, the theme for this year is not something we collect. And after looking through the merchandize catalog, I must say that for the first time ever, we had ZERO pins that we want, and that has never, ever, happened before! Unless they are planning to add some more, which I seriously doubt, there is nothing so far that compels me to want to attend the event this year.

It also seems that they are now having separate events and registration for each day! It used to be when it was just pin celebration trading event, you have one registration for all 3 days. Then they made the last day on Sunday as the Vinylmation trading event which you have to register for separately. And now, they are making you register and pay for the days you want to be there! This event is going in the wrong direction!

As a pin trader, I definitely feel that we are being squeezed out. I just wish they tell us that we are no longer wanted. It would make it so much easier to just make a clean break.
