Disney Store will sell new trading pins live on TikTok on Nov. 17, then host an in-person pin event in Times Square on March 27, 2027. New York tickets cost $29.95, and no theme park is involved.
Disney pin traders just got two new ways to shop without a theme park ticket. One of them works from your couch.
Disney Store announced two Disney Trading Pin events on the Disney Parks Blog on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The first is a TikTok Live shopping event on Tuesday, Nov. 17. The second is an in-person event at Disney Store Times Square in New York on Saturday, March 27, 2027.
Tickets for the New York event cost $29.95 per person and go on sale Dec. 2. Each ticket includes one limited edition pin, with a limit of two tickets per guest, Disney said.
Laughing Place called the New York date the second annual Disney Trading Pin Event at the store. The first one, in March 2026, offered about 500 tickets, WDWNT reported at the time.
When is the Disney Store TikTok pin event?
Nov. 17, from 4 to 8 p.m. PT (7 to 11 p.m. ET) on Disney Store's TikTok channel. Pin sales start at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET), while supplies last.
Pre-registration opened Tuesday at 8 a.m. PT on the same channel. Disney says to follow @DisneyStore on TikTok for updates and registration details. The event art bills it as a Disney Store and TikTok Shop "Pin-Tastic Live Event."
Here's what Disney promises for the four-hour stream:
New pins, mystery set unboxings and last-chance buys
Seasonal, anniversary and other pin lines
Behind-the-scenes looks and product reveals
Trivia and talks with pin experts
Disney didn't list pin prices or purchase limits for the stream. The preview art shows holiday Mickey and Minnie pins and a Muppet Christmas Carol pin with Kermit and Robin, among others.
How do you get tickets to the Times Square pin event?
Tickets go on sale Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET). Disney hasn't posted the ticket link yet, and Laughing Place reported that more details are coming.
Date: Saturday, March 27, 2027
Where: Disney Store Times Square, New York
Price: $29.95 per person
Includes: Event entry and one limited edition pin
Limit: Two tickets per guest
Disney promises all-new pins. The event logo has Dale waving over the New York skyline, so at least one chipmunk already has his ticket.
What happened at last year's Times Square pin event?
The first event ran March 28, 2026. Doors opened at 7 a.m., three hours before the store opened to the public, the Disney Parks Blog reported. Guests went in by small timed groups and shopped pin "stations" with cast members.
Exclusives included a jumbo Minnie Mouse Statue of Liberty pin and an event Mickey pin. Guests also got swipe cards for up to five spins on Retro Villains vending machines, with VHS-style pins of Maleficent, Hades, Cruella and more.
The 2026 event catalog listed $27.99 retro mystery pins and a $110 retro box set, WDWNT reported. So budget for more than the $29.95 ticket.
Do you need a park ticket for Disney pin trading?
Not for these two. The TikTok event happens on your phone, and the Times Square event is inside a Disney Store in Manhattan.
Pin shopping in the parks themselves still means buying park admission. Disneyland Resort added mystery pin vending machines this fall, which we covered in October.
If your family is planning a spring trip to New York, March 27 is a Saturday. Set an alarm for Dec. 2, because a 500-ticket event doesn't wait for anyone.
