A new pressed-penny machine has arrived at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort at Walt Disney World, replacing an earlier selection that included designs inspired by Trader Sam’s and the Great Ceremonial House.
The machine offers eight souvenir penny designs, all framed by an island-inspired sawtooth border and the Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort logo. Guests make selections on a touchscreen and can watch their penny being pressed through a viewing window.
Two designs return from the prior set: Donald Duck playing a bongo drum and Heihei. The Heihei artwork has been updated so the character faces right rather than forward.
The six new designs feature Minnie Mouse in a tropical floral dress with a lei; Stitch hugging Scrump; Mickey Mouse in a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, flip-flops and bucket hat; Angel and Stitch dancing hula in grass skirts and floral headdresses; Minnie dancing hula while Mickey plays guitar; and Moana hugging Pua.
