DIRTY LITTLE SECRET April 27 2009
I spent another beautiful day driving south, but this time to Disneyland. I know I've posted a couple times about how I love Disneyland, how I'm forever young, how my favorite rides are Midway Mania and Peter Pan's Flight, blah, blah, blah. Now I'm faced with the task of switching up the topic, while still keeping it real about the happiest place on Earth. So I'll let you in on a secret. One of the other reasons why I keep going back - thank baby Jesus for annual passes - is that I collect Disney pins. I haven't felt so involved in collecting since the pog days, and spend a good chunk of my time at the parks looking for people to trade with.It's quite a fascinating, albeit expensive, activity. I'm not going to turn this post into a how to entry or a what is one; I'm just going to confirm that I'm a bigger geek (and kid) than I originally thought. But basically, Disney sells pins that you trade. You can trade with other patrons or you can trade with the employees. The latter is much better because they are required to take what you deem as a piece of shit pin and upgrade to a better one.
Since I jumped on the bandwagon, I've been collecting Disney x Star Wars, characters from my favorite movies, stuff from my childhood, and anything I think worthy of my pin lanyard. Yesterday, Kim came up on a really good one. My personal CA x Disney dream just got this much more attainable.
See the resemblance?
And here's some of my collection. Huey, Dewey, and Louie in the house.
