Frontier Trading Post 🤠📌

Frontier Trading Post is a small Frontierland shop with a strong focus on Disney pins and trading-related merchandise. Instead of filling the shelves with the same general souvenirs found throughout Magic Kingdom, this shop caters especially well to guests

who collect pins, making it an easy stop for anyone hoping to add something new to a lanyard, backpack, or pin board.

Experience

Shopping at Frontier Trading Post is fairly straightforward because the merchandise has a much more specific focus than most Magic Kingdom stores. Guests can browse Disney pins featuring characters, attractions, holidays, resorts, and special collections along with pin-trading accessories and other small souvenirs. Serious collectors can spend quite a bit of time examining the displays, while casual shoppers can easily pop in for one new pin.

Atmosphere

The shop fits naturally into Frontierland with rustic woodwork and Old West styling surrounding displays filled with tiny pieces of Disney artwork. The contrast between the frontier setting and walls of colorful pins gives the store its own personality. Because it is smaller than the major park shops, it can feel crowded when several collectors are browsing the same displays.

🌟 Final Thoughts
