Hey Sophie, welcome back to planDisney! It's so great to see you again. Let's chat about those amazing complimentary buttons, shall we? I'm a huge fan of them myself and I'm proud to say that I've managed to collect every single one, including some super rare limited edition ones. One of my favorite buttons was when I was selected to be part of the High School Musical Parade at
Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2009. I still wear it with pride! And, I'm so excited to hear that you're starting your own collection too!
You can grab your buttons from the front desk of your
Disney Collection Resort Hotel or any
Guest Relations location in all four Walt Disney World theme parks, both water parks, Disney Springs, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Just look for them as you enter the parks. You might also find some buttons at merchandise locations, but they might not be as readily available. So, I'd suggest that you get your hands on them at Guest Relations on your first day!
Now, let's dive into
Coin Press Machines - a fantastic way to snag some cool souvenirs without breaking the bank! I love to gift them to my friends and family as a reminder of my trip. You can find Pressed Penny Collectibles machines all over the place - in all the theme parks and resorts. On my last visit, I found that each design was just $1.00, or you could get all eight designs in one machine for only $5.00. Please remember that prices are subject to change at any time without notice. The machines usually accept both cash and credit cards, but be aware that a card may not work for the $1.00 for 1 design option. Designs vary at each location, so keep your eyes peeled! You don't even need to provide the coins, so no need to carry pennies around. And, if you're looking to start a collection, you can pick up booklets for storing your pressed pennies at most merchandise locations throughout the theme parks.
Sophie, I'm super excited for your upcoming visit, and I hope you are too! Please
don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We're always here to help you out.
Cheers
Nilson
