Here is the thread to post your absolute favorite pin in the whole of disney!
You can either take a picture from your collection, or find the picture you are looking for on www.officialdisneypintrading.com (www.odpt.com).

I'll start off, and here is my favorite pin!
http://i10.************/4gg6gjp.jpg
This Member-exclusive pin features artwork commissioned for the S.S. Member Cruise 2005, inspired by the world-famous Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and the fascinating pirate history of Key West. Mickey is dressed in costume, having found magical treasure during the "Happiest Celebration At Sea!"

The S.S. Member Cruise 2005 took place September 4-8, 2005 on board the Disney WonderŽ. This pin was a gift to Disney Vacation Club Members attending that special cruise.



Picture and write up from www.odpt.com

Have fun, and Enjoy the pics! :)

Since I couldn't find it on ODPT.com, I got a picture-

http://i9.************/2me38tf.jpg

It's the Millennium Timekeeper, from the Tapestry of Dreams parade at EPCOT. There's also a set of other characters from the parade, but I'll find them at a later date.

I only have a few pins, and I'm sure this one isn't very rare, but here's my favorite:

I can't seem to find the others I have that I like that were out around the same time. Hopefully I can come home with some new ones! :) (you spent how much on pins this trip?!?!)

:oh! Nice pins! I don't have a pic of mine, but my favorites are the bobblehead-like Winnie the Pooh pins! I also like the "Hang Loose at Walt Disney World" mickey ears pin! I did have a gold ears pin but I lost that one on the EPCOT ride inside the globe. Oh, and at the end of the week, I got 10 pins, and two were from a coupon for a free pin, which gt me two, so I have about $65 in pins.

I have been pin trading since 2001. Since then I have collected well over 1,000 pins. But since this is a VMK Forum, my favorite pin is none other than the VMK Pin!

I cant find a pic of my favorite pin, i'll try to get a pic of it when i find it in my collection but for now i'll tell you what it looks like. You know how on the back of most disney buses it had either Goofy or Pluto and it says "Have you heard the best kept Disney secret? " and then after it has Disney Vacation Club. Except mine isn't Goofy or Pluto, its Stitch! I think I know why it isn't on the sight,because the only way you can get it is by being a member and go up to one of the vacation centers in the parks, wearing the blue vacation club hat, and the cast members give it to you for free.

I have many favorite pins. But my All time favorite would have to be ever single pin in the 35 Magical Milestones pin set. They are all so detailed and just.. amazing. If I wasforced to choese me favorite out of the set, just by a minniscule amount, it would be my most prized pin, or pins. I would not be able to decide between these two, so I would have to say the 100 Years of Magic Celebration pin and the 50th Homecomming of Disneyland pin, but I could not find a picture of that..

http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/10945053.jpg



My dream is to get this, a framed set of all the milestone pins..

I don't have a lot of pins, and those I have probably arent worth much to serious collectors, but this is my favorite. It was a gift from my wife a few months ago, and let me tell you, it was quite a surprise!

I've been seriously collecting since 2001, but my grandparents would bring pins home for me since I was a toddler (really wish I could find those old figment pins). I have so many favorite pins, such as, the Surprise Monorail pin set, le 100 Original Elvis Stitch, Dead End, and so on and so on.

My absolute favorite would have to be the Starry Night Tink. Van Gogh is my favorite painter and Tink is my favorite character, so I just fell in love with this pin and had to have it.

My personal favorite of my collection is the original Piece of disney history pin - featuring 20,000 leagues under the sea. The small bubble contains an actual piece of one of the portholes from one of the ride vehicles. There have been many others in this series, but this is still the original and brings back memories of my first trip to WDW.

enjoy!

Oh, boy. This is gonna be hard.....

I absolutely LOVE a couple pins.

First off, this one - it just so happens that all THREE of the sports I am best at and the ones I like the most are on the pin!
http://eventservices.disney.go.com/static/pintrading/media/pins/10979594_icon.jpg

This Open Edition pin features a Free-D basketball, volleyball and soccer ball positioned to create a Mickey Mouse Head.

Next-
http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/10937299_icon.jpg
I don't have that one though... :(

Mickey Mouse is holding a portrait of Walt Disney in this Open Edition pin. Mickey is a pin-on-pin.

Also in Magic Kingdom, my dad found a pin on the ground and got to keep it :)
It was the "Partners" pin, and it is the exact scene of Mickey and Walt waving!

My kids and I have always said this spanish phrase to each other when ever we board the Monorail! It was great to find it on a pin!

And as you might expect:

O.M.G. That's unbelieveable! I'm glad to know I wasn't the only person as a kid who learned this phrase by heart whenever boarding the monorail-and that was ONE trip in high school for four days :D

This is not my favorite, but probably my most rare and newest edition to my collection. It is limited to only 1000 pins and is of know sold out. I dont really like getting pins for rareness, though, so they are probably never going to be on my lanyard.

http://img213.**************/img213/3778/aaaaaza1.jpg
These are items from original Tomorrowland ride posters. They came in a beautiful frame, pined onto the part on the poster where they are, but I cant get them out! The only way would be to break the paper, and I dont want to do that :(. So I guess they have to stay in the frame..


On my last vacatino, my sister was in the Candlelight profeccional (sp) so I got the Candleight Processional pin, it, also is limited to 2500. But since I like it so much, im putting it on my lanyard anyway :).

Yeah, none of these are my favorite though. I have an idea, but I really can't choes. Im not going to leave any of my pins out :rudolf:. He he.

OMG, I'm lovin this thread!

I ended up getting the newest Limited-To-250 edition Tim Burton's Vincent pin for Christmas this year ^_^ Most people don't know about this awesome shortfilm, so I think the pins aren't sold out yet online :( It's pretty sad, actually, but grab 'em while you can!! Hehe... I go to the Disney shopping site once in a while to check out if it's sold out or not :jack:

Oh, my. Pick a favorite you say? Well, I can narrow it down:

http://www.pinpics.com/img/p58/pin2940
I just got this pin. It is a limited edition (1000) Disney Divas Villain Event Logo Pin from October 26, 2000.

http://www.pinpics.com/img/p668/pin33422
These are some more favorites. This was another limited edition (300) of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2004 (Frame Set).

http://www.pinpics.com/img/p467/pin23361
And of course, being me, I love any pins that are patriotic!



I also just got a framed set from a good friend (who also got me the calendar Villains each month last year) that is beautiful and has Maleficent and the Dragon in front of their castle! Thank you, Pics!:val05:

Wow, all these pin collectors, I would never have thought!
I myself have been collecting and trading pins online since 2000, mostly Tink and Castle pins.
There are too many cute Tink pins to choose from, but my two most favorite castle pins are: http://www.pinpics.com/img/p280/pin14045
Swarovski Sleeping Beauty Castle Disneyana Convention 2001
and http://www.pinpics.com/img/p798/pin39943
DLR - Celebrating 50 Years of Magical Memories - Swarovski Sleeping Beauty Castle
which are really beautiful in person and, I'm happy to say, both are part of my collection :D

(Glad you liked your frame set pin buddy!!!!)

And how's this for mixed messages? What do they want me to do? Waste, or recycle?

Woot, I have not replied to this thread in a very long time. But I read this thread every time there is a new post! (Instant E-mail).
Here's a few pins that I'd like to comment on.. :)

NASAMan: Awesome monorail pin, that phrase is one of the many things I look forward to when I go to Walt Disney World. :) (Page 4).
Zebraa: That monorail in the ears pin rocks.. I wish they'd sell that as a hat! Nice find. (Page 5)
Adventurebry: I see why you like that retro pin set! Of course.. it reminds me of the VMK pin set. It rocks! (Page 6)
Jacques: Oh my, oh my.. that is quite a pin. I wish they still had a simple mickey on the top instead of these logos. Awesome, you're lucky to have that! Woot. (Page 7)
MaidenAmerica: I love that pin set! Woot for the Villains!
LuvDaPixie: Those two castle pins have quite a look on them! If only I knew to get them when I was there! (Page 8)
DarthRobbie: What can I say? I see those trash cans every time! It's like NASAMan's monorail pin, another thing that you look forward to seeing! :) (Page 8)
Neoteny: Rofl.. I never thought about that! (Page 8), but I love your Fozzie bear pin! That's one that I have myself :). Awesome find. (Page 7)

Keep those pins coming, I love looking at them all! Here is my all time favorite..

Took me a few years to get it, too. But I wore it proudly at work. Some of the new kids started calling me Jacques only. They had no idea it wasn't my real name. There is a story behind the nickname that involves Submarine Voyage and electrical tape. But that's for another day. ;-)

Let me point out that Walt was the pioneer in having "waste" cans with a lid that had flaps. The original cans did not, and Walt ordered them removed and themed to match each land.

Well My favorite pin in my collection is this pin

http://img253.**************/img253/1933/pin33169oq3.jpg (http://**************)

This small pin features Sorcerer Mickey using his magic to defeat the evil dragon Maleficent. This pin has the set up of the stage with Mickey in water and Maleficent as the Dragon with a background of fire. This pin can only be attained by trading from a cast member. This is one of the new global Lanyard pins, in a sub-set featuring night time shows. Fantasmic is a nightime show at both Disney-MGM Studios at WDW and Disneyland in California.

This is a Disneyland only Cast Lanyard series.

Approximate size (in inches): 1 1/8 H, 1 1/2 W.

Back of the pin is pebble-textured silver, except for the three boxes containing copyright onfo, which are smooth silver.

LOL! I think that same thing when I see - waste please - on the Disney trash cans. And we were talking about it one time and we said they probably do that as like a subliminal message to make you think it's ok to waste - your money - on a bunch of expensive stuff you don't really need, lol. It's like.. - It's Disneyland so it's ok to waste! They even ask us to - just look at the trash cans! lol

This is a wonderful thread. It's fun to see what pins are everyone's favorites!

So hard to pick a favorite pin, but one of my new favorites is one that was recently released at the Mickey's Pin Festival of Dreams event earlier this month. I traded with someone who was able to attend it and I should get it in the mail any day now!

I have been pin trading since 2001. Since then I have collected well over 1,000 pins. But since this is a VMK Forum, my favorite pin is none other than the VMK Pin!

http://www.pinpics.com/img/p871/pin43584

I was just there this summer, and I didn't see it. Is it an exclusive pin, or a VIP tour pin?

I was just there this summer, and I didn't see it. Is it an exclusive pin, or a VIP tour pin?

That pin was given to people who returned their quests in for the tour back in December 05. Instead of the tour, they recieved the pin. I personally own one of these, as well as the Golden Cast Member Pin.
For pictures and more info on the two above pins, check out the links below.

I absolutely LOVE a couple pins.

First off, this one - it just so happens that all THREE of the sports I am best at and the ones I like the most are on the pin!
http://eventservices.disney.go.com/static/pintrading/media/pins/10979594_icon.jpg

This Open Edition pin features a Free-D basketball, volleyball and soccer ball positioned to create a Mickey Mouse Head.

Next-
http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/10937299_icon.jpg
I don't have that one though... :(

Mickey Mouse is holding a portrait of Walt Disney in this Open Edition pin. Mickey is a pin-on-pin.

Also in Magic Kingdom, my dad found a pin on the ground and got to keep it :)
It was the "Partners" pin, and it is the exact scene of Mickey and Walt waving!

i have the second one

oh i have that partners pin forgot to say lol

Great pins everyone, I look forward to viewing more! :)

LOL I would so wear that if it really was ears.. I saw in the big pin store at Downtown Disney that a monorail pin set is coming out soon, with little peices of monorails, and when you open them up characters are in there I think ;)

I saw a really funny one last month a few times when I was there. It has a stormtrooper eating a mickey head ice cream. It says "Have a taste of the dark side"

I couldn't find a picture of the pin but I found it on a shirt:
