Overview
- Disney Springs saw new machines reported by multiple outlets on Wednesday, Sept. 9, extending a visible rollout that began with earlier Magic Kingdom installations.
- The next‑generation units use digital touchscreens and internal blank copper discs rather than guests’ coins and accept cash or card with a $1 single‑design price or $5 for an eight‑piece set.
- New Disney Springs machines include an eight‑design Princess set inside World of Disney and a Winnie the Pooh set by the Art Corner, each bearing location or Resort branding on the discs.
- EPCOT additions feature pavilion‑specific artwork — including Frozen pieces in Norway, an Orange Bird penny, and France‑ and Japan‑themed designs in Les Halles and the Japan pavilion — increasing collectible variety tied to park locations.
- Fan sites and park reporters are cataloging each placement and design photo by photo while Disney has not issued a broad public announcement, continuing a multi‑year, resort‑wide replacement of legacy hand‑crank penny machines.
