Hanes create-a-tee shop soft opening at DTD

I love the design-via-kiosk idea. I had no idea that Disney signed a 10-year deal with Hanes, though; what exactly does a massive theme park need to do with an underwear manufacturer...? confused laugh

A lot of the criticism of ending PI and particularly the Aventurer's club was that they were going to replace it with junk like that. Which, apparently, is what most visitors to WDW want...so...

I think he's referring to the big tethered hot air balloon ride that's supposed to be the centerpiece of whatever replaces Pleasure Island.

And for all you Disney Pin Collecting nerds (myself included), Disney released a Limited Edition pin on Dec. 5th commemorating the opening of this shop.

Scroll down about a fifth of the way down that page for a look at the pin.

That's so cute!

I had no idea you were a pin addict. I'm pretty sure I offloaded years of pin collecting (mostly Annual Passholder and special event pins) on my Mom during the recent move. I wonder if I can snag them back for you... laugh

So as pin collectors let me ask. I've seen the sites that are out there and it seems like the databases of pins are pretty difficult to use. Is there a better organized list somewhere? If not do you feel like there's a need?

I find that both www.dizpins.com and www.pinpics.com are good resources, though far from complete.

Pinpics.com has a decent search engine, and you can even get in contact with others who are willing to trade pins you might want, or trade for pins that you might have.
