We have received information that the single die machine at the Beach Haus Gift Shop at Blizzard Beach has been converted to a three die machine. The original die with the Ice Gator has been retired and the machine now has three new designs. The designs are Daisy sunbathing, Mickey, Goofy and Donald tubing and Mickey lounging.

The two Lady and the Tramp designs that were removed from Disney's Pop Century Resort are back on-stage at Tony's Town Square Restaurant at Magic Kingdom. This machine was originally a single die machine, but has been converted to a three die machine. The two designs that were at Pop Century will be given an additional catalog number with the Magic Kingdom prefix of "MK".

Lady and the Tramp 5 of 6 with Lady, Tramp, Scamp, Colette, Annette, Danielle, Trusty & Jock that was in the single die machine is now the design for button "B". Lady, 1 of 6 and Tramp, 2 of 6 that were at Pop Century are the designs for buttons "A" and "C".
 
     
 
Hollywood Studios Update
 
Friday, October 14th, 2011
 
 
The penny machine that had three designs from the Prince Series that was located at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom is now back on-stage at Once Upon a Time at Hollywood Studios. As a result of these three designs being at both Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, they will be given an additional catalog number with the 'DHS' prefix for their new location at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The penny machine that was at the Prop Shop at Hollywood Studios with three Beauty and the Beast designs has been moved to Once Upon a Time.

A machine that was at Once Upon a Time, but was removed about three years ago due to the store being remodeled, is back on stage at the Prop Shop. This machine originally had Roger Rabbit, Jessica and Nala from the Lion King series for buttons A, B and C. The design with Nala is no longer in this machine and it has been replaced with Jack Jack from The Incredibles series. Jack Jack was originally at Ft. Wilderness Campground in a four die hand crank machine. The design that is now at the Prop Shop is a design variation since it has the Eurolink "e" on it where the design that was at Ft. Wilderness Campground did not have the "e" on it.
