Celebrating Twenty Years of Disney Pins Event Announced
UPDATE: See event details here.
The theme for next year’s pin event has just been announced! The 2020 pin event at Walt Disney World is Celebrating Twenty Years of Disney Pins.
Can you believe it has been 20 years of Disney Pin Trading?!

The above poster art shows a timeline from 2000 to 2019 of every annual pin event at Walt Disney World.
We look forward to seeing what pins will be in this event’s catalogue. Be sure to check our blog to find the official date of this event in the upcoming months.

I still have my free “celebrating the future hand in hand” 2000 pin. I remember how odd it was to receive a free pin, only to be told it was intended to be traded away. I was Class of 2000, a true Millennial. I couldn’t trade away something like that. There was no such Disney pin that would commemorate that.
Also, this whole “official Disney pin trading” thing pretty much made all my pins from the 90s and 80s “unofficial.” I remember in 2009 trading away a 90s Cheshire Cat, my first trade, and being really worried about the cast member thinking it was fake. It’s more real that most of what cast member carried. He requested I swap out the metal clasp that it came with for the Mickey rubber backer the one I traded for came with. “No logo or mickey backer? Gotta be a fake.”
Do you have a date yet for when this will be?
Date won’t be announced until early next year.
Talking about pin events, will there be one in November 2019? Since I noticed there was an event in Feb., May and now August. Please advise.
Any updates on potential date yet?
Any idea when we might get more info on the event ?
It will be announced sometime between late February to early/mid April. This is typically the time frame when Disney typically opens up registration for the pin event and announces all the details regarding said pin event (i.e. pin catalogue, dates/logistics, agenda, etc.).
lol I like my avatar XD
The date is August 22-23 from 9am to 6pm.
