The Epcot Innoventions East 4-die machine with Phineas & Ferb, Spaceship Earth with Goofy hat and feet, Agent P and Duffy that was removed over six months ago has been placed back on-stage at Epcot's Pin Station.

Disney Quest at Disney Springs closed on July 3, 2017. The two Wreck-It Ralph machines located inside the building have been removed and are no longer available. We are assuming that these machines will be relocated and we will post something as soon as we get any other information.

This new machine is located inside Merchant of Venus at Magic Kingdom and is the fourth 8-die penny machine at Disney World with Star Wars designs. The new designs are:

  • X-wing Starfighter
  • Darth Vader
