- After trading at the parks for some time now, I feel bad whenever I turn down people, especially kids when trading at the Frontierland benches. I want each person to experience the joy of trading! I put together this video to help you pick out what pins you should have(and avoid) when wanting to trade with the pin traders at the Frontierland Benches at Disneyland! Remember, these opinions are based off MY personal experience so just know these things aren’t always 100% accurate all the time, think of it as a sort of guide to go by.

As an OG Pin Trader, the one piece of advice I can impart to the new generation is... Don't try to jump at the bigger pins right away! Keep it simple and enjoy trading as it's meant to be. Gradually you'll build up your traders and you'll be able to trade for higher level pins. So really, just start slow and HAVE FUN!!
💯 YES! Agreed! Having fun is the #1 goal
Also, collect what you like and not just because it's popular or valuable. Others with the same likes will trade as well.
This has been so helpful. I went pin trading for the first time EVER this weekend and because of your videos, I actually got the courage to come up to one person in Frontierland!
I’ve never traded with other pin traders at Disneyland (last time I went, it completely went over my head) but I definitely would love to next time I visit Cali!! Things are still not back to what it was before Covid for pin trading at WDW (or so I’ve been told since I got into this hobby during the lockdown 😅) but it seems like Disneyland is back to its full swing! It’s honestly amazing to see ❤ What a helpful video for newbie collectors!!
Oh really? I didn’t know wdw wasn’t fully 100% back. Yes next time you visit stop by!! 😁😁❤️
Cool. I remember when you were starting out, Kris. Now you're getting comments from Dollastic. 👍
Another fantastic video Kris! Even though I have yet to trade at the famous Frontierland boards your tips are also pretty applicable to online trading. Especially when it comes to the type of characters that are popular/unpopular to trade. One thing I'd recommend for traders like me who don't have ready access to the parks is to stock up on loungefly pins. I have traded up many times, as in trading multiple lougeflys for higher end pins.
Loungefly pins are MVP! Can’t wait until the day you visit😃
Good advice in this video!
Start small and don’t get discouraged, someone else might love the pin you have.
Just have fun!
Yes, HAVE FUN!! 💯
Kris I absolutely love your videos that are just so informative and helpful! I’ve been trading for a year now and I still am learning new things from you! ❤️ love you! -Chris
Kris - I am just now having time to watch some CZcams videos and I stumbled across this and it's amazing! You've answered so many wonderful questions about trading at Disneyland! Thanks for pointing out about the fakes and why we don't want them! One thing I make sure to do is bring one board full of cheap pens. Pins that I don't care about. They all started off real. But I will never say no to a guest. So if they come up to me with their Ziploc baggie I will offer them to trade anything off of that one board. it changes every time I go. It makes their experience much better. I love your videos. Subscribed.!!!❤
I absolutely LOVE this! What a great way to help build up kids' confidence and make them feel included. As a mama of some special needs teens getting into pin trading to work on getting out of their shell this makes me so freaking happy!
Thank you for telling everyone what the difference is on the pins .. showing the packs that have more in them to trade is a good idea too 😊
Hi! Thanks for the kind feedback 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed
This is so helpful! I'm nervous to go up to the trading benches but I'm going to do it!
Don’t be nervous! You got this🔥🙂
This is a great video! Very informative and I haven’t seen many videos like this!
Thanks for the feedback!! I really try and find fun new ideas ☺️
A very useful and informative video!
Thank you for making this video. It us good to know that I can buy some pins to be able to trade with the people at the benches. I am looking forward to it. 🙂
Glad it was helpful! Wishing you happy trading! 😊
Aww I missed hanging out with both of you …. Dara looks so cute ! Great video Kris 🎉 great tips
Thanks!!!!! We def need to meet up next time ❤️
Such a great video !!! Anything cute!!!
Thx so much Kris! Super informative and you gave me confidence to trade with the REAL traders!! 😉😘
Thanks for the kind words I’m glad you found the vid useful 😊
Babyyyyyy!!!! Thanks so much for hanging out with me all day!! I’m gonna misssss youuuuuuuuu ❤ always a joy spreading magic with you! Going to be living vicariously through your videos for these next few months! Thanks so much for the shout outs 🤣🥰
I had so much fun with you 🥹🥹🥹🫶🏼 yes this video will be like a core memory 🤣
OMG Thank you so much!! You just saved me over $50. I am planning my first trip to Disneyland for my birthday and just heard about pin trading. I had my basket full of pins on DePop that I thought were a really good deal that I could bring to trade and thanks to you, I looked into it and they are fake!!! Thank you so so so much for the heads up, I really appreciate that!
Hit the nail on the head with this one hun!
Thank you 💜
So cool!! I did my first trade at frontierland last month. As a newbie my advice is just try. They are always so nice. Also wanted to add when I trade on boards I don't worry about fakes personally. If I like it I like it. I find it more fun then stressing about getting fake ones
I agree try not to stress and have fun!😄 thanks for watching!
Wow 🎉 thank you so much for sharing
There are pin levels that need to be understood. Hidden Mickeys are about the lowest value pin, even if desirable, they won't be worth more than, say $5 in trade value. So when you buy mystery packs that cost maybe 3 for $20, remember an Annual Passholder gets that for 20% off, so they get 3 for $18, or $6 a pins. So mystery pack pins and hidden mickeys are kind of equal. Limited Release is probably tier2 and maybe are $10 value wise. PARK released Limited Edition are probably tier3 maybe $15. Some LR are LE are interchangeable. And WDI/DSSH/DEC/Cast releases are probably tier4. Some are $15, some are $1500. So of course there are exceptions and nuances that take months/years to fully understand or appreciate.
Pins that are part of a long releasing series usually are better to get, especially early on. It's the end of January. Any park sets that will be monthly releases throughout 2023, get the Jan/Feb one because come Oct-Dec if you miss a release day, you can try to trade a Jan/Feb one for Oct-Dec. Even better if its a popular character that will bring trade value on its own, let alone being early in the set.
When in doubt, you can always check eBay sold listings to see rough values. And remember, what you value something isn't always what the trader may value it. I might overtrade for a Sci-Fi pin I like if you're asking for a villain pin I have zero interest in. My recommendation is buy pins you don't like, but are popular characters, so you have good pins to trade for the ones you want.
Can't wait for vid
Hi thanks for the video, when I went to see the pin trading people in frontierland and got some newly released pins and wanted to go after the wdi or the disney studio store pins, but they seem to not be willing to trade the park pins for the more larger and nicer ones.
Great video!! Thank you 🎉
Thanks for watching! 🙂
I didn’t even know there were national Geographic pins you learn something new everyday. Haha no shade to the fab 5 but I’d have to agree 😂 I hope to one day trade at the iconic bench
LOL the fab 5 😅😅😅 no so fab to trade 🤣
Wish this video was available back in December! I didn't even think about bringing my Loungefly pins! Can you put them on the pin trading boards? Thanks for the great information!
Hi! YES you can put loungefly pins as long as it’s Disney related! 😄
Great info, thanks!
Thanks for watching 😃😃
Loved this! ❤ Thank You Kris!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Kris10Banci Would you say that the villain bowling pins or ties are worth grabbing at all?
That is pretty good advice, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Great advice. We are in parks 3/30 - 4/1... hope to see you there (and to trade again)!
I may be there!!! 😁😁
@@Kris10Banci DL= 3/30, DCA = 3/31, DL = 4/1... If you recall, I'll be wearing my usual red Dickies shirt and shorts...
I was there when We Disney was there and I walked by telling them that I watch their channel but they didn’t hear me lol.. I even told my husband that it would be so cool if I saw Kris Banci since you guys were the ones that got me started doing this pin trading hobby:).. I can’t believe you were there too and I didn’t see you 🙁. Oh well maybe next time! 😜
Aw that is awesome!!! Hope to run into you next time!😁
Nice zootopia pin! I don’t know about the Frontierland benches but princesses make great traders.
Yes esp Ariel 🫢 she can go for a lot !
Great advice!
Thanks Rima! Hope you’re doing well 😁
@@Kris10Banci Thank you...all is well! Hope everything is going great for you too! One of these days, I'm going to set up with my pins on the benches...been intimated to do it, but I think have a reasonable haul now, lol!
Thank you for posting this kris! The last time we were at Disneyland we had a lot of loungefly and there was people in frontierland that didn’t want to trade with us because we had Loungefly’s and they weren’t “NoT rEaL dIsNeY pInS” so we’re going in may and are trying to find some authentic pins to trade. But there was people we were able to trade with for our loungefly’s! Any other place’s where we can get authentic pins? Beside’s hot topic, boxLunch, and instagram sellers.
Hi! That’s strange loungefly pins should be tradable bc of the (c) Disney on the back. According to pin trading rules that makes it ok to trade. I’ve never really had any pushback from CMs so maybe it’s up to their discretion 😔 besides IG sellers I also buy from people off the WhatNot app which are live sales auction style , My D pins and distradingpins4u who has bulk lots of authentic traders!
@@Kris10Banci ok thanks kris!
Do people trade fantasy pins? I know I personally have a few fantasy pins I absolutely love but Idk if they're something I can trade at the benches
Hi! Fantasy pins can’t be traded at the parks unfortunately but outside the parks yes!
If you are still holding out for a Pooh magic band, they just dropped one on Shop Disney. 🤙🏼
We’ve traded with Ben before but have never asked him what he likes to collect. Now I have to check our stash for some Snow White! He’s the best.
Thanks for this video! It was super helpful!
Yea I was shocked he collected Snow White! I always referred to him as Ben the pin king so when he said Grumpy Ben that’s when I put 2 and 2 together 😂
Thank you
You’re welcome 😃
Oh no. I brought so many LoungeFlys with me, but didn't think the traders at Frontierland would be interested, because I didn't see any in their boards/books. Oh well, something to know in the future.
I did get a good trade at the Emporium though. 😀
Loungeflys are perfect! Ooo what did you trade for?
@@Kris10Banci I got the Donald Duck 2023 pin that is visible at 7:50. I also filmed my Disneyland pin haul and hope to edit and upload soon!
Great advice! The Frontierland and Picnic tables can be intimidating. I had a bad experience cuz one of the Frontierland traders gave me fakes and I didn't know it at the time. When I checked pin pics online, I found out they weren't authentic. :( Any advice for not getting "swindled"?
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m glad you checked pinpics. Not everyone is like that I hope that doesn’t discourage you from trading with anyone else!
Haha I'm collecting the feathered friends mystery pins. I like birds, if you can't tell from my PFP.
Oh nice! Did you complete the set?
@@Kris10Banci Not yet! I'm getting close :> It's true not many people seem to be trading it.
lol ziplock bags 😂 you made me laugh ….
You already know LOL
I'm really glad Disneyland remove the pin bench. There aren't that many spots to sit down.
You forgot splash mountain pins. They are super popular.
Ahh I seriously did forget about those!😆
😂😂😂 my girl said!!!! Zip lock alert 👀 - Na just kidding guys but for reals though
What😂😂😂 you know it’s true
@@Kris10Banci 😂🤷🏻♀️👏👏👏
