Just back from our first post Covid park visit. DW is a big time trader, I am a minor trader dabbling in Goofy pins. We have been trading for about 12 years.
Today was a MK day and a bit of a bust for someone who goes to the parks mostly to trade. Don't judge Disney, you created us! We didn't find a single CM who was trading. MK has about a dozen shops with trading boards, but mostly contained garbage pins. We actually threw a few of our trades in the garbage they were such obvious scrappers.
We did have a lovely CM at Star Trading who circled all the trading spots on a park map for us, including a few that aren't marked. We didn't notice that the maps have pin trading spots marked out, and this was near the end of the day. Thanks for the pixie dust to her, we had only found about half the locations by then so we looped the park one more time hitting them all.
The biggest problem with the 'new way' is that the boards are always behind the cash, and if the cash is busy you are waiting and then slowing down guests with purchases to make.
Anyone else with tips to share on in Park trading these days? We are hitting DAK tomorrow with only 5 marked locations for trading. Considering we are spending about C$100/pp to trade, that will be a pretty disappointing day.
