• Back Stamp
  Identifying information on the back of a pin. May include copyright information, country of manufacture, release year, edition size, and the official Disney Pin Trading logo.
• Hidden Mickey Pin
  A Cast Lanyard pin. Refers to the small Mickey Mouse-head silhouette found on the face of most Cast Lanyard pins.
• Cast Lanyard
  A lanyard worn by a Cast Member. The pins on a Cast Lanyard are available for trade with Guests.
• Scrapper
  An unauthorized pin made from a genuine Disney pin mold that was not destroyed by the manufacturer when Disney discontinued production of the pin.
• Dangle Pin
  A pin with a separate piece that hangs from a small chain or loop.
• Slider
  A pin with a separate piece attached that can be moved back and forth across the base piece.
• Cast Lanyard Pin

• Shark
  A "professional" pin trader. You'll find them around Disney pin trading tables with multiple lanyards, large pin books, and even rolling cases full of pins. If you don't know your pins, and you try to make a trade with a shark, you will probably get taken.
• Surprise Release
  Also called a Mystery Pin, this is a pin for which no details are revealed until before the pin is offered for sale.

• DLR
  Disneyland Resort in California. Includes the Disneyland Park, Disney's California Adventure, resort hotels, and Downtown Disney.
• MNSSHP
  Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, the annual after-hours Halloween celebration at Magic Kingdom. Usually runs about 20 nights in September and October, with new pin releases each night.
