Disney Pins Blog posted November 2026 pin previews for Disneyland and Walt Disney World, led by a Nov. 3 Kingdom Hearts release at Downtown Disney that uses a virtual queue.
Pin traders, start your lanyards. Disney Pins Blog posted its November 2026 pin previews for Disneyland and Walt Disney World on Oct. 28.
The month opens with a big change at Disneyland. The Nov. 3 Kingdom Hearts pin release at Downtown Disney will use a virtual queue with no standby line, according to WDW News Today and LaughingPlace.com.
What is in the November 2026 Disney pin preview?
Disney Pins Blog shared four preview sheets for limited edition pins. There’s a November sheet and a Christmas sheet for each coast.
The pins on those sheets appear as images. The blog’s text does not list names, prices or edition sizes for each one, and we could not confirm those details from the text we read.
Disney Pins Blog says more releases will show up in its weekly pin posts.
When is the November Kingdom Hearts pin release?
The November Kingdom Hearts pin drops Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Disney’s Pin Traders in the Downtown Disney District, according to LaughingPlace.com.
It’s part of the 2026 Kingdom Hearts pin of the month series. Here’s what we know about the series:
Edition size: 4,000 per pin, according to WDW News Today and Disney Pins Blog
Price: $24.99 per pin, according to Disney Pins Blog
Run: 12 pins, one per month
Where sold: exclusively at Disneyland and Walt Disney World
We could not confirm which Keyblade is November’s design. Disney has not shared it in the coverage we read.
How does the Disneyland pin virtual queue work?
You join through the Disneyland app. Here’s how it works, according to LaughingPlace.com and WDW News Today:
The queue opens at 5 a.m. Pacific on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
You must be within 60 miles of the Downtown Disney District to join.
Each guest joins once, on their own My Disney account. No joining as a party.
Boarding passes can’t be linked or shared.
When your group is called, the app notifies you. Head to Disney’s Pin Traders and scan your QR code.
There’s no standby line while the virtual queue runs. If pins are left over, a standby line may open later that day, LaughingPlace.com said.
Joining the queue doesn’t guarantee you get a pin. Boarding groups are limited, and items are sold while supplies last.
Why did Disneyland add a virtual queue for pins?
Kingdom Hearts pins sell out fast. WDW News Today said each monthly release disappears quickly at both resorts.
They also resell for a lot. LaughingPlace.com said January’s first Kingdom Hearts pin goes for about $250 or more on the resale market. That’s ten times its $24.99 price tag.
A 5 a.m. app queue beats camping on a sidewalk.
The queue also covers other pins releasing that day, according to WDW News Today. The outlet expects Disneyland to use a virtual queue again for the final Kingdom Hearts release in December, but Disney hasn’t confirmed that.
Is Walt Disney World using a virtual queue for pins?
No word yet. The Nov. 3 virtual queue applies only to Disneyland so far, according to Disney Food Blog’s report as republished by Disney by Mark.
Disney World’s official merchandise events page also lists no pin events for November as of Oct. 29.
What holiday pins are already in the parks?
These open edition holiday pins need no queue, per Disney Pins Blog:
Winter Gnomes Series 2 Mystery Pin Set: $24.99 a box, two random pins from eight designs, launched Oct. 27 at Disneyland Resort and sold at both resorts
Christmas 2026 open edition pins: $14.99 each, including a Mickey and Minnie pin and a Mickey Wreath pin, sold at most parks and hotels on both coasts
Open edition means there is no fixed production run.
What other limited edition pin series is Disney releasing in 2026?
Disney runs several limited edition series through the year, according to Disney Pins Blog. Some release quarterly. Those include:
Walt Disney World: Windows of Attraction and Enchanted Doors, each limited to 2,500 at $26.99
Disneyland: Walt’s Magical Moments, limited to 2,500 at $24.99
Both resorts: Disney’s Magical Theater, limited to 4,500 at $24.99
We could not confirm which of these, if any, release in November.
