Disney's Pin Celebration 2007 Coming in September

Wow, talk about a fun event coming up! If you're into pin trading and plan to be at Disney World in early September, make plans to attend Disney's Pin Celebration 2007 at Epcot.

The event, which runs Sept. 7-9, costs $90 per person (plus your admission to Epcot). Here's what is included:

• Opportunity to pre-purchase Limited Edition pins designed especially for this event.
• "Purchase with Purchase" pin promotion for event Guests only featuring exclusive pins.
• Trading activities and games at World ShowPlace located at Epcot.
• Limited Edition commemorative gifts.
• Live and silent auctions of pre-production pins, artist proof pins and more.
• Be the first to collect brand new Hidden Mickey pins featuring new designs.
• Opportunity to meet Disney Pin Partners from The Walt Disney Company.
• Two $15 Gift Cards redeemable at Epcot® Food and Beverage locations.
• Plus extra special surprises throughout the event.

Looks like that's going to be a busy weekend... and I'm going to be there! The Night of Joy will be Friday, September 7, and Saturday, September 8. Read more on the Disney World web site.

Just as an FYI, I've studied the details of the pin trading event and can't see how it really saves money on purchasing pins. If you absolutely must have the special collectible pins, then getting them through this event might be worthwhile. The rest of us will probably be just as happy with buying pins at the regular shops and/or trading.
