Evening all!!
My name is Steve, and Im from Charlotte NC. I am a happily married father of two sons, who just got back last week from their first trip to Disney World. The last time I was in Disney was 1977, and the last time I was in Orlando was in August and September of 1986,and that was for boot camp. I swore when I shipped out for NAS Meridian, that I'd never set foot in the state of Florida ever again... Suffice it to say, that was 13 years before I got married, and had kids!
So this trip was special on quite a few levels for me!
I dont believe they had pin trading when I was a kid, but my wife picked up on it as we prepared for our trip, and both my boys quickly took to it. We were there at Halloween and went to Mickeys Not so scary Halloween party, but I was having serious back issues, and we did not get any of the pins at the party. However, a really nice manager at the big shop on main street took pity on me the next day, and after showing her photos on my iphone from the party the previous night, she allowed me to purchase a few pins. Being that i was new to it, I didn't know what to ask for, so we told her whatever she had handy. So now, Im trying to get a complete set via ebay.
Anyway,thanks for allowing me to come on board, and I promise not to ask many stupid questions!
