As mentioned in the previous entry in our News Blog about the new penny machine near the Garden Grill Restaurant at EPCOT, Doc from the Seven Dwarf series and Belle from the Disney Princess series have been removed from Lafferty Place Arcade at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. The machine that contained these two dies also had a Beach Club Resort penny design for button "B". This design is no longer available.

A quarter machine at this location that contained Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse with Disney's Beach Club Resort logo has also been removed. Below is a picture of the remaining two machines at this location that were placed together in a dual cabinet about two years ago. The quarter design with Ship Captain Mickey and the three penny designs with Surfing Mickey, Yacht Club Resort Logo and Bashful remain the same.

The quarter machine near the Garden Grill Restaurant at The Land in EPCOT has a new penny machine companion. Both the new penny machine and quarter machine are now together in the same themed cabinet. Also, beside the two machines is a matching themed quarter change machine which is a great addition if you need any extra quarters for pressing coins.

The other two designs are Doc from the Seven Dwarf series and Belle from the Disney Princess series.
