Overview
- At Discovery Trading Company in Animal Kingdom and World of Disney in Disney Springs, mystery pin boxes and bags now sit behind small locks with cast members controlling access.
- The shift followed a reported incident in which a 27-year-old allegedly stole about 50 pins worth just over $900 from Disney Springs, leading to a grand theft arrest.
- The State Attorney’s Office told WDWNT that no charges had been filed against the arrested man as of the latest updates.
- Guests can still pick up most open-edition pins on their own, while mystery packs now require staff assistance and limited editions remain handled at checkout counters.
- Mystery packs are small and displayed in large quantities, which makes quick theft easier, and cast members and park reporters described the new setup as a preventative measure rather than a short-term reaction.
