Another Update on the Energizer® / Disney Parks Pin Promotion
Matt, our charged up battery guy... has another update for us on the Energizer battery pin promotion.

Matt, and also Kev, give this "electrifying" report...

Energizer battery/pin packs are now available at all or most of the following stores: Suncoast Motion Picture Company, Sam Goody, Media Play and Musicland. More retail stores will be putting them on the shelves soon.

The pin is right in the front of the package so there is no problem telling which pin you will be getting with your purchase.

The back of the pin has the official pin trading logo on it and says "Made for Energizer for Disney Parks and Resorts" with the Disney stamp on it.

Many thanks to Matt and Kev for the update!!
