QUESTION How long have you been collecting Disney pins?
I started on my first trip to WDW, which I think was 1999? I can’t really remember exactly but it was hot and I do remember the 2000 sorcerer Mickey wand on top of Spaceship Earth. It may have been 2000 because my parents wouldn’t take my brother or I out of school so it had to be during summer break. The first pin I bought with my own money was PP132 WDW - Ezra - First Ever WDW Haunted Mansion Pin. I really just thought they were a cool memento to all the rides and experiences I had at the park. I also collected PP846 WDW - Falling Mickey - Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, PP466 Star Tours Logo - Triangle, PP337 WDW - Mickey Mouse - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, PP280 WDW - Alien Encounter Monster Logo. Though I didn’t ride Tower of Terror or Rock n Roller Coaster until I was an adult, I liked Mickey on the attractions. At the end of the trip, my parents bought me PP869 WDW - Donald, Mickey, Goofy - Hand in Hand 2000 - Name Pin, and PP7 WDW - Fab 4 - 2000 Set - Outfit Icons. I still have all the pins and I wouldn’t get more pins until my next trip in 2004. I didn’t get back into it until 2018 on a trip with my wife and she gifted me PP123035 Bat - Haunted Mansion - Wallpaper, which is such a simple pin, but it meant a lot to me.
