Hi
Got a question for you guys.

Do the Magical Moments Pins still work at the Parks? We have ours from 2002 and thought about getting new batteries for them. We had so much fun with them on that trip.

However I haven't heard anyone mention them lately, so was wondering if they worked any more.

Thanks

Marylee

Thanks for reminding me... I have one, and I forgot that I should pack it. I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll let you know if any thing "magical" happens with it this time around.

Great! Happy trip

I'll be anxious to hear if anything Magical Lite up for you

Ours worked when we were there in February...

They still sell them, although they have some new features and are a little different. But, the old ones should work fine (with new batteries) since all the sensors are there for the new ones, too. Does that make sense?

I guess I'm trying to say,

Oh, I never even thought of taking my Magical Moments pin back on return trips to WDW. What a great idea!

I love those pins! I'm planning to get at least one of the new ones on this trip. I'm afraid I'd lose the old ones taking them back.

They sure do still work. Not that many people are wearing them anymore, so when they go off, man, what a reaction you get. So many people don't even know what they are. I just love it when you're walking along or just sitting in a ride, and all of a sudden you're blinking like crazy!

I got mine out the other night and put them in my new tote bag that I'm going to take on the plane. I could only find two and I know we had three! I gotta keep looking. I was hoping they still work and it sounds like they do. I enjoyed them so much in '02! Can't wait to wear them again at Thanksgiving!

My dd's is at home and I'm in work so I can't look at it right now but are they easy to change the batteries? Do they take little round batteries (like hearing aids)? Hers is from 2002 but we would love to use it again this trip.

So were do you get them if they are still selling them? And what do they look like?

I was just thinking about this the other night. Thanks for asking the question. I forgot to take them back in December, but will try to remember for our next trip (whenever that turns out to be). -HiddenMickey

They were issued, I believe, in 2001 for the 100 Years of Magic celebration, costing about $15.00. Initially, the design was for the 100 Years, but now they make one for each park. They are about a half inch thick, maybe an inch and a half to two inches long and operate on two batteries, although I can't remember what type at the moment. When you pass certain areas in the parks, on rides and when parades go by, the pins light up with different colored blinking lights. The newer ones also come with a game built in, though I've never bothered to figure that out. I have one from 2001 and bought another one last year, but rarely wear them together as they are a little heavy and kind of weigh down your tee shirt! This year I think I'm going to pin it onto my purse so I can continue to blink my way through the World. When they first came out, you could find them at every gift shop and kiosk around, but now they are a bit harder to find. I saw them in the larger gift shops in the parks back in April so they still have them. It's really fun when a CM sees one - they get very excited that people are still wearing them.
