Disney Announces New Pin Trading Events for TikTok and Times Square

Pin collectors, mark your calendars twice. Disney has announced two new Disney pin trading events: a new live pin shopping event on TikTok next week, and the return of the Disney Trading Pin Event at Disney Store Times Square in spring 2027.

Both events were announced on the Disney Parks Blog, which Disney says will now be the home for pin designer interviews, event announcements, and sneak peeks. If you follow pin news, that’s a good place to bookmark.

Here’s everything you need to know about each event, including dates, times, ticket prices, and how to get ready.

Quick Summary

• Disney Store will host a live Disney Trading Pin shopping event on TikTok on November 17, 2026
• The TikTok event runs 7pm to 11pm ET, with pin sales starting at 7:30pm ET while supplies last
• Pre-registration opened November 10 on the Disney Store TikTok channel
• The Disney Trading Pin Event returns to Disney Store Times Square on March 27, 2027
• Times Square tickets go on sale December 2, 2026, at 11am ET for $29.95 per person
• Each Times Square ticket includes event entry and one limited edition pin, with a limit of two tickets per guest
• The Disney Parks Blog is now the home for official pin news

Disney Store TikTok Live Pin Trading Event

On November 17, 2026, Disney Store will host a live Disney Trading Pin shopping event on its TikTok channel. This is a new format for Disney pin events, letting collectors shop from home in real time.

Here’s how it works:

• Date: November 17, 2026
• Event time: 4pm to 8pm PT (7pm to 11pm ET)
• Pin sales start: 4:30pm PT (7:30pm ET), while supplies last
• Pre-registration: Opened November 10 at 8am PT (11am ET) on the Disney Store TikTok channel

What’s for Sale

Pins for sale will include:

• New releases
• Mystery set unboxings
• Last-chance pins from seasonal, anniversary, and other collections

During the stream, you’ll also get behind-the-scenes looks, product reveals, trivia, and comments from pin experts in the Disney community.

Disney’s preview shows holiday pins, including Mickey and Minnie in Christmas outfits, a Kermit wreath design, and a “Happy Holidays” train scene with Mickey.

How to Get Ready

To register and get updates, follow the DisneyStore handle on TikTok. A few tips:

• Pre-register now so you get reminders before the stream starts.
• Set an alarm for 7:30pm ET. That’s when sales begin, and popular pins can go fast.
• Have your payment set up in advance so you’re not scrambling when a pin you want appears.
• Know your budget. Live shopping moves quickly, and mystery sets make it easy to spend more than planned.

Disney Store Times Square Trading Pin Event 2027

The Disney Trading Pin Event returns to Disney Store Times Square on March 27, 2027. It follows last year’s Retro Pin Event at the same location.

Here are the details:

• Event date: March 27, 2027
• Tickets on sale: December 2, 2026, at 8am PT (11am ET)
• Price: $29.95 per person
• Ticket includes: Event entry and one limited edition pin
• Limit: Two tickets per guest

Tips for Getting Times Square Tickets

• Set a reminder for December 2 at 11am ET. Tickets are limited, and past Times Square pin events have been popular with collectors.
• Plan your group. With a limit of two tickets per guest, coordinate with friends ahead of time.
• Book travel after you have tickets. If you’re coming from out of town, secure your event ticket before booking flights or hotels.
• Remember the included pin. Every ticket comes with a limited edition pin, so the $29.95 price covers more than entry.

Why These Events Matter for Collectors

These two events show Disney meeting pin fans in new places. The TikTok stream brings pin shopping to collectors who can’t make it to a park or store, while the Times Square event gives East Coast fans an in-person trading day without a trip to Florida or California.

The move to the Disney Parks Blog as the official home for pin news is also helpful. Instead of hunting across social media, collectors now have one place to look for designer interviews, new releases, and event announcements.

More Disney Collectibles

If you love collecting, there’s plenty more happening this holiday season. Annual Passholders can pick up the 2026 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Passholder shirt and pin, sold at the Emporium on party nights.

The Bottom Line

Disney has two new Disney pin trading events on the calendar. The Disney Store TikTok Live event on November 17 brings new releases, mystery sets, and last-chance pins to your phone from 7pm to 11pm ET. The Disney Trading Pin Event at Disney Store Times Square returns March 27, 2027, with $29.95 tickets that include a limited-edition pin.

Pre-register on TikTok now, and set a reminder for December 2 at 11am ET if you want Times Square tickets. Happy trading!

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
