Ahoy there, Caitlin!
It sounds like you’re well on your way to creating a treasure trove of Disney pressed pennies! I love hearing about Guests building their collections—there’s just something so special about those little keepsakes. Even though my family doesn’t collect pressed pennies, I think they’re such a fun and unique keepsake—and I’m thrilled to help you track them down for your upcoming cruise! They’re the perfect pocket-sized memories!
Great news! There is indeed a pressed penny machine available at Terminal 10! I double and even triple-checked with an awesome Disney Cruise Line Cast Member, and they confirmed that the machine is located near the observation deck. It’s a great spot to pick up a new addition to your collection while soaking in some fantastic
views of the port and ship.
Now, if you’re planning to fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO) before your cruise, you’ll want to make a quick stop at the Magic of Disney shop located in the main terminal just outside the security checkpoint. I gave them a call to be sure, and they currently have a pressed penny machine with 8 unique Disney designs. It’s a fun way to kick off your vacation before even boarding the ship!
Now, if you’re looking for another
unforgettable collectible, I highly recommend the miniature model Disney Cruise ships available onboard. These beautifully crafted models are specific to the ship you're sailing on, and they make for a fantastic keepsake! I’m excited to search for one myself when we board the Disney Fantasy in a few weeks. The models are a great way to bring home a piece of the magic, and they’re a perfect display item for any Disney fan. While the
Disney Wish model is particularly sleek, I have to say that the Disney Magic will always hold a special place in my heart as my favorite ship. I can’t wait to purchase the model for the Fantasy!
Caitlin, I hope this helps as you continue to build your pressed penny collection and maybe even inspires you to pick up a miniature model ship as a special keepsake from your adventure. Whether you’re exploring the stunning Atrium, catching an unforgettable show, or soaking in the beauty of Castaway Cay, your Disney cruise is sure to be filled with magical moments that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
Wishing you smooth seas, shiny pennies, and memories to treasure forever!
Sea ya real soon with pixie dust and ocean breezes,
Dustin
