We do have a couple of pins from doing Disney tours though, they are sitting in a drawer in my house. I can't quite get myself to toss them, but I don't want to collect them either.
If you don't want to keep'em, post pics here on subsonic. Maybe someone will take them off your hands and give them a new home?

I would! I would actually suggest putting them on ebay ~ then you can recoup a little of the tour cost from getting them ;)
I think the tour pins are actually pretty neat :D

What kind of "Disney tours" do the pins commemorate?
I have a "Disney Music Days" pin from 1985 when Regan held his second Inaugural parade at Epcot around the World Showcase, since it was was so cold in January the traditional one was cancelled. The pin is pretty yellowed though. They weren't made like they make them now.

Hey, noticed I passed on that. Rule #79: Never pick on a bald guy about being bald.
Of course, I have a couple of good comebacks when people tease me about being bald. My favorite is: "You're just jealous because I look better without hair than you do with it."

Don't tease someone about something that could be your own fate one day in the future...then you'll see who gets the last laugh...

Yeah, but with how much pins sell for on Ebay + the charges from Ebay and Paypal, it wouldn't be worth the effort.

I would have to look for the others, but I have 2 Wild by Design Animal Kingdom Tour pins, and pins for the Undisovered Futureworld Tour and the Holidays Around the World tour.

Fun! I would love to see pictures of them if you ever have the time to take them and post them. How was the Undiscovered Futureworld Tour?

Okay, could take me a couple of days. Again, I will need longer to find the other pins, not sure where I put them but I know I didn't toss them.

Undiscovered Futureworld was pretty neat. One of the coolest parts to me was going into the company lounge at Mission Space, the event space in the Seas and the upstairs of Journey into Imagination. The guide was pretty knowledgeable as long as you didn't ask anything controversial (b/c for that you get the company line.) I would recommend it.

Thanks! I am looking at different tours for our upcoming trip and love to hear from people who have been on them to have a little idea what you are getting for your money :D
