Overview
- Multiple park-focused outlets reported Sept. 2–3, 2026 that new and upgraded pressed penny and full-color medallion machines were installed across Magic Kingdom.
- Medallions are being sold at $10 each or four for $35 and pressed pennies at $1 each or eight for $5, according to the coverage.
- Machines were placed both inside shops such as the Emporium, Sir Mickey’s, and Curtain Call Collectibles and near attraction exits or queues like Pirates of the Caribbean and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which affects guest discoverability.
- The new designs feature a wide mix of character and attraction themes, including Disney Princesses, TRON, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure characters, and park icons.
- Independent Disney parks sites documented the rollout with inventories of locations and designs but no official Walt Disney World corporate announcement has been cited in the reports, and medallions are a newer complement to the long-running pressed penny souvenir tradition.
