Hi there, Peggy, and welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for stopping by to ask me this question today. Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation will be here in just a few short days, and you must be getting so excited! Have you packed your suitcases yet?
Peggy, your question actually came in at such a convenient time. I was at
EPCOT this morning, so I got to check out the
Coin Press Machines in person and do a little bit of research for you! I'm happy to share what I've learned! The Pressed Penny Collectibles are available at machines throughout the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels and Disney Theme Parks. They offer a variety of themed designs, depending on which machine you choose. You have the choice of purchasing one coin for $1 each or all eight designs in the machine for $5. You can pay with cash, tap-to-pay with Apple Pay or Google Wallet, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). As of today, the price was a flat fee, yet prices are subject to change without notice. These machines also offer instructions in your choice of six different languages!
If you're on the hunt for souvenirs, I have to recommend that you stop by
Emporium at Magic Kingdom Park for an amazing selection of merchandise. I especially enjoyed checking out the variety of cozy t-shirts and sweatshirts with fun retro designs that I found throughout the store. I grabbed souvenirs for my whole family, and even a little something for myself!
Be sure to venture over for the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! All of the festival offerings are included with your admission, and you'll enjoy all kinds of amazing and unique seasonal snacks and beverages at Global Marketplaces throughout the park.
Peggy, I hope you have the very best time during your vacation. Please let me know if you have any other questions as you count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
