So as I've posted in a couple threads, my husband and I are going to Hong Kong in May. To finish our trip we are staying four nights at the Disney Explorers Lodge. We will have a transfer day (where we plan to visit the other Disney hotels and get our bearings), a day exploring Lantau Island (but breakfast and likely dinner at Disney), and 2 days at Hong Kong Disneyland.
I've only sort of paid attention to how Pin Trading and pin buying works at HKDL. So I'm hoping @Gelatoni can help explain and if anyone else has any tips.
I assume they have cast members wearing lanyards, since I've seen pictures of them on the HKDL website. But are there many CMs like at WDW, or a few CMs and somewhat hard to find around the resort?
Are there pin boards you may ask to see (at WDW, each of the resorts have boards or books, and some of the shops in the parks)?
Are they filled with bad pins like at the US parks? What type of authentic pins are you most likely to find?
I asked over in the 2018 thread too, but how do the Game pins work? How much do they cost? How many times can you play a game before the CM looks at you funny, and you should move on?
Which stores have the best pin selection? If there are LE pins where will you find them? Is it like Paris, where the best pin store is only open on weekends?
At WDW, sometimes the best pin luck is at the hotels, is that the same here?
Thanks for any and all information!
