Reports on Vinylmation Trading at the Parks

It's been reported that trading at the Parks is still in practice, despite planned discontinuation on February 5. Here's what we've heard:

Downtown Disney:

• Pin Traders is reportedly still using its Vinylmation trade box
• D-Street even their Vinylmation trade box has been removed, however they are currently trading using open trays:

EPCOT:

• Mouse Gear is not trading and has had its trade box removed
• Disney Traders is still trading using the original black trade boxes

Other locations:

• Animal Kingdom is reportedly trading as normal with regular trade boxes
• Magic Kingdom is reportedly trading as normal with regular trade boxes
• Hollywood Studios is reportedly trading as normal with regular trade boxes

While this is currently the case, it could change at any time. It certainly makes me think, that while it doesn't look as attractive, using empty trays to trade instead of the Vinylmation trade box would solve many of the previous issues with the Mystery Trade Box. If those problems had anything to do with the removal of the boxes, it seems Disney have potentially solved their own problem.
