My Pin Story- How Why and Fake Pins - Confessions of a Theme Park Worker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Disney pins are a favorite collectible. Why are they so special to me? How did we get started? Why are fakes and scrappers such a big deal? And how can you tell the difference? And what are some of my recommendations for shopping and storage?
A behind the scenes look at what a former worker at Disney World, Silver Dollar City, and Busch Gardens Florida experienced in his time working at the parks. From driving large safari trucks around live wild animals while cracking one silly joke after another, to spending 5 years as a #PhotoPass photographer at #WaltDisneyWorld and seeing and experiencing all sorts of things, to being a conductor and #trainrobber on the famous Frisco Silver Dollar Line at #SilverDollarCity. With 10 years of working in the parks, there's lots of stories to tell. Here is some of them...
Not only did I work in theme parks for 10 years, I've visited a whole lot of them as well. Here's some stories of great visits, not so great visits, favorites, reviews, and much more.

Nice shirt! So much so I'll put down my chainsaw and listen to this video.
Great Video. 😃👍♥️
So this is what it is like when someone goes head first down the rabbit hole. Interesting. Very interesting. Crazy as plate collecting but still ... interesting.
The Disney store in Branson is amazing! So many cool gadgets, plushies, and pins!
Great video as always, Sir Willow
Pining for pins? I think
I have a swell Sir Willow pin 😄
Another way that might be cool to display the pins is in a shadow box. That way too you can hang it on the wall for display. Would make a good conversation piece
I'm curious whether the employees of the different pin trading spots have to sort through and toss the fakes, or if it's trader beware?
Heard the best way to know real from fake is to spend more time handling the real.
I have a Mickey mouse e-tickets pin from 2005 I think it's real it was a cast members only pin.
