The 50th Anniversary of Disney World is ending soon, and things are disappearing left and right.
With the official end to the celebration happening on March 31st, we’ve seen anniversary imagery removed from maps, decor removed from castle playsets, and souvenirs with warnings of their imminent departure. But, thankfully we have another exciting celebration to look forward to! The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary is upon us, and the new celebrations are already rolling in — there’s even a new nighttime show coming to EPCOT! Recently, we spotted one fun way to get in on the party in Disney World — and it’ll only cost you $1.
Pressed pennies are a popular souvenir for a lot of fans — when Splash Mountain was closing, the line to get a ride-themed penny was very long! Now, with the 100th anniversary celebration underway, there are NEW pressed pennies in the machines in Animal Kingdom. Three of these machines are right outside of Discovery Trading Company.
One of the penny machines has the Tree of Life and a meerkat without any 100th anniversary imagery, but one penny is themed to Zootopia and says “100 Years of Wonder” next to Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.
Another one of the machines has another two pennies without new markings — but there’s a new Disney/Pixar Up-themed penny that also says “100 Years of Wonder.”
On the third machine, there was also only one new 100th anniversary pressed penny — but it’s Ice Age-themed! How cool is that? You’ll find Sid and Scrat next to the words “100 Years of Wonder.”
There is another machine with a new penny in Dinoland U.S.A., inside Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures.
At this penny machine, you’ll find two dinosaur options as well as a new 100th anniversary Bambi design. Like the others, this one also says “100 Years of Wonder.” Pretty cute!
Considering these pressed pennies are just $1 each, that’s a pretty cheap 100th anniversary souvenir to pick up (and a nice, small one to carry around with you). We’ll keep an eye out for any new 100th Anniversary sightings, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
