Pin Trading is a well-loved pastime among Disney park-goers.
While it’s been around for a while, the rules surrounding it have changed quite a bit over the past few years. After the COVID-19 closures of 2020, Cast Member lanyards were set aside in favor of pin trading boards across Disney’s parks. Lanyards have slowly started to return, but in late 2023, a new rule was put in place that could affect your experience again!
Did you have a chance to take a voyage on Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser?
Not a lot of folks did as the hotel-meets-spaceship interactive experience was only open for a little over a year, although many Star Wars fans didn’t visit because of its price point. For those who did get to hop onboard the Halcyon, though, there was an unforgettable experience that involved being part of a Star Wars story, lightsaber training, space-themed dining, and more. Well, some folks have started a tribute for the hotel showing that it might be gone, but it’s far from forgotten.

Favorite Things has been around since 2018, and often it has offered some of our, well, favorite things! Come see how it went this year.
