As you already know, Pin Trading involves the exchange of pins at Disneyland. But who is the designer behind this activity? Who dreams up the future pins that will become collector’s items? Who chooses the characters to highlight at certain moments and not others, because that’s what he decided and that’s the way it is? Who is the hot shot behind the pin trend? In short, who is the god of the modern badge at Disney? It’s Greg! And I went to see him because I had never met a god before! Greg’s not a bad name for a god, don’t you think? Honestly, it’s a lot less ridiculous than Zeus or Apollo…

News story, here we go:
I arrive. I introduce myself. And Annabelle smiles at me. You saw it on the video that introduces this little assignment. But what you didn’t see is a real moment of magic. Cross the hotel, go down two floors …There it is, and I’m late (to tell the truth, I’m late because I forgot to warm up my croissant before leaving home, so, ten minutes lost, and ten minutes late in arriving. It’s what you call a chain reaction!)

Sue Lecash is a costume-maker. Correction: Sue Lecash is THE
costume-maker at Disneyland Resort Paris. She is also the little mouse
who works miracles, like the seamstress mice in Cinderella. But I’m not
sure that she knows this… She just concentrates on weaving her magic!
