Pin Trading is a long-standing Disney Parks tradition, centered around the collecting and exchanging of first-party accessory pins, each representing the expansive Walt Disney repertoire of characters, locales, and events. Since the original film's debut in 2006, Cars has remained one of the studio's many franchises lending its subjects to decorative, collectible pins.

Trading itself is an officially-endorsed park activity; collectors are encouraged to exchange pins with other park-goers, and occasionally even the Parks' own "cast members"—official costumers playing the role of iconic characters—of whom may be recognized by their donning of either a lanyard or "pin pack."[1]

Cars-related pins

Cars Land 2012

A collection of World of Cars Online-inspired pins were produced and distributed to promote the Cars Land opening in 2012. They featured pre-set examples of player "avatar" characters, in line with the (former) game's name and customization system. They were given away at the park's opening at California Adventure.[2]
