Aww, I am so happy that I can be of some sort of help to pass the difficult time. 2020 hasn't been kind to many of us and I really hope things will be much better soon! I miss my sister so much as well but with the global pandemic, we don't feel safe to travel and see each other. Hopefully soon in 2021!!

*shakes a fist at social anxiety* Social anxiety, you stay away from Sophie!

yayaya u watch dollastic

I guess I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online?

@Ronin Omari flixportal :P

@Branson Marco Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D I appreciate it!

@Ronin Omari glad I could help xD

It really was a blast! My social anxiety was through the roof but there's always something so magical about just being the room with people that enjoys the same thing as you do. Do you also collect pins? If so, I really hope I'll have my pin trading book ready when/if we cross paths. One of my "mini goals" is to trade with pin collectors who watches my channel when we meet in person - so it's like we're taking a little thing of memoir

@@dollastic yes I just started pin collecting again I used to before I collect Michal Jackson to Elvis pins they are rare old ones. I got some at 5 Below! Hoping to start my Disney collection on it! I hope to come to Florida to soon again my cousin lives right by you guys she goes to Disney she’s having her third baby 🍼 I need to meet my new cousin. I’d love to meet up Doug loves Star Wars like you & Ryan

You're so right! My trader pins are very small but someone might be looking for it. It was my first trading event and I was so shy about it but hopefully, I'll be able to work up some courage in the next event :D I didn't include it in the video because the event coordinator lady asked not to, but I recorded a quick pan of the event hall to show how quiet and safe the environment was to my husband. After I showed it to Ryan, he was impressed and said he'll try to come with me for the next event. Not sure if he'll ever collect pins but it's always exciting to have someone in your life wanting to take a part of something you enjoy ^^ Thank you so much for your kind words. You really made me feel more confident about showing my trading book the next time I go

Glad you enjoyed it!

I love Nick Wilde too! I just love Zootopia al together so much 💕 I really hope the next event will be more relaxing too 😊

I am so glad that I was able to help you take your mind off feeling down. I do have some non-Disney pins too! Not a lot but if they're cute, I want them for my collection

@@dollastic thanks so much. 😻

Oooh! I didn't know that they have pin trading events at PAX. Not that I think I'll be attending any big conventions like that any time soon, it's still good to know that there might be opportunities for when I attend in the future. I think I would've felt too shy as well though. The only place I felt comfortable was at Disney Parks but hopefully, I'll start to get comfortable at these little trading events as well soon!

Thank you

Aaaaah! you're the sweetest! Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment! I was aware of pin collecting community before but never really got into it until about a month ago. A part of me was hesitant in the past because I knew there's a lot to be learned and it's easy to end up in a rabbit hole lol I am glad that I waited because it's giving me the thrill of starting something new now

OMG! Thank you so much for sticking with me for so long! That means so much to me

@@dollastic aww of course 🥺 like i said you were really my fav as a 10 year old haha.... i love your new collection, it's so interesting! keep your awesome content going

You have no idea how much your comment made me smile. Thank you so so much T-T

Aww I am so happy that I could make you smile 💕

@@dollastic always😁

There's always next time! I plan on going to 1-2 trading events a month so maybe I'll run into you at one of the events :D I also haven't shown my orange hair on this channel before so perhaps you didn't recognize me with different hair and a mask? lol I also went so close to closing time of the event as well. I did notice how so many people were nice and patient while looking through each others' trading books. Next time, I'll definitely muster up more courage to hand them my book to look to trade

I'm so glad that you are finally filming again!!

That is awesome! I'd assume there are pin groups for different states. I haven't looked to see if there're any groups for pin collectors in New Hampshire but it'd be neat to go to one when the whole pandemic is over and I am visiting my family. Are you trade meets similar to the one I went/experienced? (As far as having vendor and trade tables and such)

@@dollastic no vendors just people who like to trade. We normally set up at a mall eating area.

You should definitely go to one of them! This one is happening again in January which shows the exact date and info on the flyer I showed in video. There're also 2 other pin trading events in January

I was thinking of posting photos of all my traders on my instagram so when I go to events, parks or meet viewers, they know what I'll have to trade with them and such :)

OMG! Getting pins for eBay gets so expensive T-T Toy Story is such a wonderful movie to collect pins for! Many wonderful characters! Are you focusing on a specific character or Toy Story in general?

oh also, don't worry about showing your pins. Some traders will make a trade with you even if they don't "need" any of your pins if they know they will be able to trade what they get for something else later. Blind box pins are great because people are trying to complete sets.

I used to trade with cast members when I went to park but I realized a lot of pins on cast members lanyards are fakes due to guests buying fake pin lots off of ebay and trading them at the park. The cast members are not allowed to turn down a trade even if they can see that the pins are fake because Disney believes that ruins the "magic" experience at Disney parks. After learning about this, I went through all my pins I traded and out of all of the ones I've traded with cast members, only 1 was authentic. The rest were all fake or scrappers.

You're totally right about how some people might be looking for blind box pins to complete their sets. I'm gonna try my best to be less shy about them next time I go

Agree with the pin book

OMG Thank you soooo much!!

Yes, we're still happily married. I've been cooking more and I take my ring off when I have to work on anything greasy (mainly cutting meat and poultry) then forget to put it back on after I'm done cooking T-T

Hello

Of course! I'll definitely make more videos on my pin trading/collecting journey including any of the events I attend :D

It really was a lot of fun! :D

@@dollastic I think your a real anime girl

I still love thrifting but just haven't found favorite thrift stores here in Florida yet. However, there are more antique stores here than there were in New Hampshire so I might have antique-ing videos from time to time :) Charlotte (aka Lottie) is Tiana's best friend from Disney's Princess and the Frog.
