Hey Disney friends! If you have a Disney pin collection that has slowly taken over more space than you originally planned, I have some news for you! Disney Store has announced two upcoming trading pin events, and they’re giving collectors new ways to discover pins, meet fellow fans, and hopefully find a few treasures to add to their collections. One event is bringing the fun to our screens, while the other will take collectors to New York City in 2027. One of my favorite things about the Disney community is the way we can connect over the things we love, even when we’re nowhere near the park gates. These events are a lovely reminder that you don’t need to be on a Disney vacation to share that excitement with fellow fans.
A Disney Pin Event You Can Join From Home
First up, Disney Store is taking pin collecting to TikTok LIVE on November 17th, 2026, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific Time. Sales begin at 4:30 p.m. PT, and the event will feature new pins, mystery set unboxings, and last-chance buys across seasonal, anniversary, and other collections. There will also be behind-the-scenes looks, product reveals, trivia, and appearances from pin experts within the Disney community. I love the idea of discovering what’s new in a live reveal, especially when you can join in from home and chat with other collectors who are just as excited as you are. Just remember that products are available while supplies last, so you’ll want to check the official Disney Parks Blog announcement for event details before tuning in. Pre-registration is already open for this one on the Disney TikTok page.
The Disney Trading Pin Event Returns to Times Square
If you prefer an in-person experience, there’s another date to add to your calendar! The Disney Trading Pin Event is returning to Disney Store Times Square on March 27th, 2027. Tickets go on sale December 2nd, 2026, at 8 a.m. PT, priced at $29.95 per person. Each ticket includes entry to the event and one limited-edition pin to take home, with a limit of two tickets per guest. I love these in-person events, and it’s exciting to see this gathering return for another round. I can only imagine the conversations that happen when Disney pin collectors get together, compare their finds, and discover what everyone else has been hoping to add to their collection. There is always a story behind where you came across some of your most special pins, and I think it’s wonderful to be able to share those moments with like-minded collectors. If New York is on your travel plans for next spring, this could be a lovely extra reason to stop by.
What I like about these announcements is that they offer two quite different ways to enjoy a hobby that has brought Disney fans together for years. The TikTok LIVE event gives collectors a chance to tune in from home, while Times Square offers the opportunity to share the experience in person. Whether you’re swapping stories online or meeting someone who understands exactly why you’ve been searching for that one elusive pin, it’s wonderful to see the community connecting beyond the parks. With new releases, special finds, and more details still to come for the 2027 event, there’s plenty to keep an eye on.
