But where and when do I need to line up to buy one and/or get a wristband, the website is unclear on this pin....

Thanks in Advance!:fez:

Darkbeer, if you follow the links it will tell you where the wristband distribution is, it's 'usually' over at the kiosk outside of the security area for inside the park. I've read about a different one for WoD but can't remember where that one was. All the Magical Memories pins have been sold the same way, wristbands issued til 2 or until they're gone, limited per person purchases. Good luck! That's a beautiful pin.

That is what I can't find, whether it is a World of Disney release, or a Store Command/Greetings from California Release....

According to dizpins' July 30 update (http://www.dizpins.com/), the pin is being sold in four locations: Emporium, Store Command, Greetings from California and World of Disney. This is a pin that I would have thought would involve wristbands, but there's no mention of wristbands, and usually, if it's a wristband release, it's only being released in one location. With it being in four locations, it would seem no wristbands are necessary. Each location would get an allocation (dizpins says the edition size is 1500), so even if it sells out in one location, it may still be available in another location. Since it's a limited edition, each person would be able to buy a maximum of 2, unless they go to multiple locations.

Any idea if they are all gone? I'd like one, but I can't make it down there...

They didn't seem to be selling all that briskly (even though it's a beautiful pin). I saw a sample still out in the afternoon, so I don't expect they sold out.

Glad to see that Disney is saying the same thing I was saying for months, that Disneyland's "1st Day" or Opening Day was July 18th, 1955 :fez:

And here is the pin itself....:geek:

Ok I am officially drooling!!

Wow! Me too! That is a very, very pretty pin! Thank goodness I'm not a pin collector (believe me, I could easily get hooked ;) ) or else I'd be kicking myself because my family and I were just at Disneyland all day yesterday!

Thank you for sharing, Darkbeer. Glad you got one.

Wow...they charged tax even in 1955, how funny!! I didn't know that, but I notice is said "federal tax," and that was pretty steep...9 cents on the dollar!! wow!!! :eek:

I'm going to be at DL on the 18th or 19th if anyone wants me to pick them up a pin or two (and I can find them). PM me and we'll make arrangements.

There seemed to be plenty as of this past Sunday. Check Store Command or World of Disney.

OK, I need help. I've been to DL and DCA twice this week with a photo of the pin and no one has ever seen it at any pin location this year. Two or three CMs actually said they had the same pin from 5 years ago and the only recent similar pin was the one with an "E" ticket. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?The Emporium had them yesterday, in the glass case at the cash register nearest the pin wall.

This is a boxed pin, not on a card, so you need to look where the other boxed pins are.

For all those that live far away and would like one of these pins, there are some listed on eBay. Sorry, but I don't have the links at hand.

Got to Emporium around 11:45 today, Sat., 8/27, and was told they 8 or 9 earlier in the week, but they were now sold out. Decided to try Store Command *just in case*. Turns out, earlier in the dat someone had retunrd several and they had about 5 or 6 on hand! As we chatted with the CM and bought ONE a couple of others were purchased. As we walked out the door they only had 2 left!

Boy did I get lucky or what?! Granted, there're not a *whole* lot more than the $25 I paid for it, but I did see one went for $39.
