2026 Pin Releases & Discussion

Haha I arrive at WDW the 3rd. I'm loving that Goofy.

Is that the best place to go?

From what I’ve seen it seems like a good option. I know animal kingdom has been crazy. I’m not even sure how Disney Springs works but from what I’ve read people get there super early.

I heard that at Epcot some pins will sell out to the people who got in line during Early Entry. So if you do not have EE, Epcot is not a good place to go. At DHS and at MK regular folks and EE people can line up in the same spot at the same time. DHS usually has a smaller pin allotment though. Which is why we always go to MK. It's a PITA to speedwalk from the gates to the queue on the Liberty Square bridge, but my Dad usually can get my pins without the super early waits at Disney Springs.

If you have EE privileges because you are staying at a hotel, I would go to Epcot for sure.

Thanks! I have EE so I’ll plan for Epcot. It’s weird learning a totally different system. DLR has less parks but more stores with pins, I’ll have to see which one is better
