Originally announced as a Maze Event (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Newsletter_8_September_2005#Maze_Information), the Maze event was postponed and the Room Decorating and Pin Trading event was held in its place.

Players decorated their rooms based on a pin-trading theme and judges looked for rooms that best captured this theme. Each hour of the competition VMK said they would name a winner, so there were 19 chances to win. Winners were announced in the Newsletter 14 September 2005 (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Newsletter_14_September_2005).

Oh the Pin Trading Event was awesome back in 05. I remember Xiris' winning room which spelt "Pin" out in crates. That event was a month or so after I joined VMK, I really knew I was playing the right game when they did a whole event for PIN TRADING!

And I also remember buying that HKDL pin along with the Fantasyland Pin. The HDKL got really rare after a few months, so glad I managed to get them when they were buyable.. :-p

Thanks for doing this, Up.

Eh...Dreams Month.
Wow; that was such a hectic time. My best friend and I would seriously camp out waiting for Staff to show up.
Our other friend on the other hand had the luck of the century. -.-
Thanks for posting this Up (:
