Between a Disney Resort hotel stay, Disney Park tickets, and add-ons like Lightning Lane Multi Pass or a Disney Dining Plan, it can be daunting to even think about saving extra for souvenirs or special experiences.
Luckily, Walt Disney World Resort is now offering a rare free gift to guests currently visiting one of the four Central Florida theme parks. Here’s how to get yours while you still can!
Free Gift at Walt Disney World Resort
This week, Inside the Magic discovered several social media reports from guests visiting the Walt Disney Presents Theatre at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. According to these Walt Disney World Resort visitors, Disney cast members were handing out free official Disney Pin Trading pins celebrating the Disney+ series, Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
This museum-style area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is often home to limited-time character meet-and-greets and displays about popular IP. Recently, a sneak peek at the second season of Percy Jackson & the Olympians replaced an exhibit showcasing costumes from Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour.”
As part of the new exhibit, Disney cast members are handing out themed Disney Trading Pins to attendees. The same pins were recently given to guests at the runDisney Half Marathon Weekend Expo at Disneyland Resort.
How to Get One
It’s best to head to Disney’s Hollywood Studios as soon as you can, because freebies rarely last long at the Disney parks. Walt Disney World Resort has not publicly advertised the pin or said how long it will be available.
There are options for Percy Jackson & the Olympians fans who can’t make it to Central Florida. As with any limited-time merchandise offering at Walt Disney World Resort, the pins have already landed on third-party reselling sites like eBay and Mercari. They’re frequently priced between $20 and $30, plus shipping:
Percy Jackson & the Olympians Season 3
The second season of the series based on Rick Riordan’s popular novels is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. The third season is scheduled to debut later this year, though an exact date has not been announced.
