WDW Vinylmation and Pin Trading Night - August 13

A free trade night has been announced for Walt Disney World and once again it is on a Tuesday and once again it will be held at the Grill at the ESPN Wide World of Sports. Last time, despite worries, the trade event was seemingly a success. Plenty of trading room and previews.

What do you think about the choice of Tuesday? Not sure I understand the change of venue of day, but I would guess it is a money or availability issue. But what about choosing August, when another trade event is right around the corner in September? August 13 is also the Tuesday directly following the D23 Expo weekend and many guests may be on a west coast vacation. Here are the trade night details from Disney:

Calling all Traders! Join us for Disney Trading Night, August 13, from 6 – 9 p.m. in ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex. Meet avid and novice traders, make friends and share stories about your collections. You will also get the opportunity to take part in a special product signing with Artists from the Disney Design Group.
Just a couple of reminders:

• The specific location of Trading Night will actually be in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill Restaurant area and adjacent lobby area.
• Space will be extremely limited, we ask that you limit the number of items that you choose to bring.
• The Product Preview Section and Artist Signing Area remain, but the Vinylmation team will not offer trading at their table
• Food & Beverage concession areas will be open

Mascots Photoshoot

All excited about the Olympics, Disney's #1 fans wanted to take in some games at ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. As always, there was plenty going on. But just in case there was some down time, they brought along the Sports series to play some games of their own.

ESPN Wide of Sports 3" - June 6th

On June 6th a new open edition 3" figure will debut at D-Street Orlando.

It's a tribute to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. It will retail for $12.95. Seems like a great souvenir for the various athletes that partake in event at the complex here in Orlando. It features a silver head with silhouettes of various athletes including basketball and cheerleading as well as a coach with a trophy and what looks like fans. But does it appeal to the everyday Vinylmation collector? Let us know.
