The support and patience I received made this possible. Melvin Sharpe, Thesis Advisor - Dr. Sharpe led me step-by-step through the processes I needed to complete not only for his requirements but those of the Honors College. His advice was invaluable and his time even more so. Thank you, Dr. Sharpe, for all that you did for me. Amanda Goings and Heather Goad - Two friends who spent more than their fair share of time listening to me prattle on about Walt Disney World, and provided much needed comic relief. Rosalyn Dowling, Disney Travel Specialist - Ms. Dowling helped fuel my fire when it came to creating this project. Her knowledge and expertise were excellent resources. And finally ... My parents, Jon and Debbie Maynard - The support you have given means more to me than you will ever know. My grandparents, John and Betty Maynard - Gramps and Granny, you never stopped encouraging me. This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my Mom, January 30, 1956 - July 28, 2003. Photo in front of the Imagination Institute on my 21 sl birthday, September 26, 2002. This thesis is divided into two distinct halves.

  • Guide to Pin Trading at the Disneyland Resort
    Guide to Pin Trading at the Disneyland Resort Many Cast Members throughout the Disneyland Resort wear pin lanyards or waist patches with pins. But, the places with the widest selection of pins for trading are the books and boards that are available to guests throughout the resort at specific locations. Below, I have listed all of the locations where pins can be purchased at the Disneyland Resort. Many of these stores are also the best locations to find large pin trading boards. If the store is known to have trading boards, that information is listed below. Generally, Cast Members working in these stores are the most likely to have lanyards on to trade pins. Also, find information below on trading pins at the Disneyland Resort Hotels. Disneyland: • Main Street USA • The Main Street Emporium-Locate the board at a checkout counter near the corner Main Street entrance • Guest Relations- While the line may be very long to enter the building, Guest Relations does keep a large book of pins behind the counter for trading. • Tomorrowland • Little Green Men- this store specializes in pins specifically and often has special releases • Star Trader • Frontierland • Westward Ho- this shop most likely will have a pin trading board during your visit • Pioneer Mercantile • Adventureland • Adventureland Bazaar • Toontown • Gag Factory- Ask for their trading pins • Critter Country • Pooh Corner Store- Find a pin board here behind the counter. Disney California Adventure: • Buena Vista Street - • Julius Katz and Sons • Big Top Toys • Grizzly Peak and Grizzly Peak Airfield • Fly and Buy • Rushin’ River Outfitters • Hollywood area • Tower of Terror exit store • Off the Page- this is the best place to buy special edition pins • Pacific Wharf Area • Embarcadero store across from The Little Mermaid--Ariel’s Undersea Adventure • Paradise Pier • Sideshow Shirts Downtown Disney: • World of Disney Store- look for the pin sales area or ask a Cast Member.

Next, I would like to thank my committee, for all the time and effort they spent guiding me along this project. Your guidance was invaluable, and I cannot express my appreciation for professors like yourselves who are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. Professor Morgaine, thank you for your encouragement, and for nudging me in the direction of community when I took your social action course. It has been something that I have loved studying. Professor Godard, thank you for your meticulous scrutiny and attention to detail. They have been invaluable in re-writing my final drafts. I would especially like to thank my thesis chair, Laura Edles, for the time she has taken, as well as her encouragement. I was afraid to do something on Disney, but she urged me to follow what I loved.
