I do. It was Pin 138: Mickey Body Parts (Dangle). I got it at Epcot in October, 1999.

I had bought other pins over the years, but this was my first "official" Disney Pin Trading Pin. I also filled a whole lanyard with pins that trip..
 
I bought this in WDW in 2009 Pin 47632: WDW - Tinker Bell - Cinderella Castle Fireworks (Spinner) .The first pin I bought on Ebay was Pin 1043: Flora Fairy from Sleeping Beauty from a well known seller, too bad it turned out to be the scrapper version and I did not even know it at that time
 
I think my first Disney pin before pin trading that I bought at Disney was this one


Pin 1804: WDW - 15 Years (Cinderella Castle)
 
Mine was [pinpics]84064[/pinpics]. I still have it today. This was shortly followed buy buying [pinpics]84597[/pinpics]. The rest is history!
 
I bought 2 at the same time so Im not sure which one to officially count. They were the Haunted Mansion 30th Coffin Pin and the 30th Anniversary Doombuggies pin. I think I count the Coffin pin as my first. First pin I bought as a trader and the first pin I traded was the DCA Cast Preview pin.
 
If you mean the first individual pin I bought straight from Disney, it's not too hard to remember. It was last month. Here's the pin:
Pin 88637: St. Patrick's Day 2012 - Mickey Mouse
 
^^^Actually, nevermind... the first pin I ever purchased was when I was in high school, back in 2003:
Pin 589: DLR - Club 33 (Members Only)
I bought it because I liked it, but didn't even know pin trading existed until 8 years later (last year).
 
The first pin I purchased was a 2 pin set:


Pin 5540: DLR - Memorable Moments - Peter Pan and Captain Hook in Battle (2 Pin Set)

Two of my favorite pins. I either bought it at the small retail stand outside of It's A Small World or in Frontierland. Great pins.
 
The first disney pin I recall receiving was way back in 1985 from the gift giver machine:
[Pinpics]569[/pinpics]: Main Street USA (Mickey Mouse)

Around the same time I received [Pinpics]15997[/pinpics]: Walt Disney Productions 3D Tinker Bell Rhinestone Pin from my mother.

yup. We went in 2000, stayed at all star music and part of our welcome apckage my kids got Spaceship Earth that opened with a few goodies inside, one goody was this pin....
Just picked up a few more, lost almost all of them cause the backings came off.
 
When I was little about 7 I remember going on holiday with my parents to the Isle of White and buying this in a little gift shop:



and I also have these but unsure when I got them, but I remember I was only young:




but my first Disney Pin trading pins was these...

When I first went to WDW in 2005 my mum bought me this as a surpise and gave it to me when we left the park:


Its funny though, because even though I am from England, I dont like merch with the Union Jack on it. So it stayed tucked away for a while. But I wont trade it as it was a nice surprise from my mum

and on the same holiday I bought myself this one:



As ever since Toy Story first came out Ive always been obsessed with the aliens
 
I love this set!
