Does Disney still give out first visit pins?

You can pick up the free First Visit buttons and other celebrations buttons from your Disney resort as you check in, or at Guest Relations at any of the Disney Parks or Disney Springs.



Yes, Disney continues to provide complimentary "First Visit" buttons (often called pins by guests) at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland in 2026. These colorful, round buttons are a staple of the Disney guest experience and can be collected for free at any Guest Relations location, hotel front desk, or many retail shops within the parks. In early 2026, Disney released a new set of "Hidden Disney" collectible pins for trade, but the celebratory buttons for birthdays, first visits, and anniversaries remain free to all. Wearing your button is highly recommended, as it often prompts Cast Members and characters to provide extra attention or a personalized greeting. While Disney has digitized many aspects of the park experience, these tangible "celebration buttons" remain one of the most beloved low-tech traditions for new and returning families alike.
