Prop Shop Machine Moved To Ft. Wilderness
 
Tuesday, January 6th, 2015
 
 

One of the machines at the Prop Shop at Hollywood Studios has been moved to the Settlement Trading Post at Ft. Wilderness Campground. The machine that was moved had designs with faces of Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. These designs were originally located in two different machines at Cap'n Jacks Restaurant at Downtown Disney. The designs were put into a machine at the Prop Shop in December 2013.

These designs originally had catalog numbers beginning with DTD for Downtown Disney. Then they were given catalog numbers beginning with DHS for Disney's Hollywood Studios. Since these designs are now at a resort, they will be assigned a 3rd catalog number beginning with RES.
