Has anyone done this? Found the info on "another" Disney site when I wa looking up pin trading for my kids.

Mickey's Mystery Pin Machine:


The first Mickey's Mystery Pin Machine made its debut on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2007 at Mouse Gear located at Epcot. The new pin machine will feature three, open edition pin collections - Puzzle, Pirate and Disney-Pixar. Each mini-collection will contain five pins each.


Play is $5.00 per game which includes tax. Every player receives one randomly selected pin from the specially designed collections. There will be three tries per game with a maximum of one pin distributed per game.

Additional machines will be introduced in the coming weeks at Disney's Pin Traders at Downtown Disney, Tomorrowland Arcade in Magic Kingdom, Sorcerer's Hat Shop at the Disney-MGM Studios and Everything Pop! at Disney's Pop Century Resort.

Hi,
Just back and did this fun game. We Played the one at pop, if only i'd known i would have taken a pic for you. You get a Pin ball type ball ( Sliver) and have to make it climb a mountain, on each sides of the game there are a set of handle bars. To make the ball climb you have to use the handle bars to make the mountain roll from side to side, giving the ball a little force to roll up the mountain. You have to make the ball reach the top in under 45 seconds, if i remember right. Not to worry if the ball falls off the mountain you get a total of 3 trys or balls. Don't stress too much, because every player is a winner and while we were never able to make the ball get all the way up to the mountain to win, each time after we played and lost all 3 balls, the machine would still give us a pin. You don't have to win to get the pin. One was a mickey pirate pin , one a monters inc pin and one a square one with 4 indivual pics of mickey. It cleary states on the game it self that every player is a winner and will be awarded a pin.

Hope that helps, any other questions don't be afraid to ask.

I did it when I was there for the pin event in September. It's fun, addictive! There are currently three sets of pins you can collect if you get all of them. I'm back next week and I'll be trying to complete my diamond set!

I was wondering if you only get one pin for playing no matter what why do you even try to make it to the top.
You don't get anything more for it. Guess it is just to play the game huh. What do you think?

We were wondering the same thing. Since we never made the ball reach the top of the mountain to win, i'll never know for sure.

Consider it a fancy vending machine where you get to play a game as a bonus, and you've got the idea. One pin at random, regardless of the outcome of the game.

so it's like a slot machine for pin trading addicts hoping for that one special pin.
