Penny Cartoon Machine at BW

[LoveMyDVC]

Who here remembers when Main Street in the MK had an arcade? Is the penny cartoon machine at BW from the old arcade? Unfortunately the arcade got turned into a store

Oh, I remember it. That is a good question. Anyone know?

I remember the Main Street Penny Arcade well, and was sad to see it go!

Walt Disney World sentimentalists (like me) will fondly remember the old Penny Arcade. Not because they had great video games, but for the real old games and hand-cranked moving picture machines. For just a penny, you could watch old Mute-o-scopes (which you cranked by hand), and Cail-o-scopes, which rotated the pictures automatically. You could then head over to the Fortune Teller machine to see what the future held for just a few cents, then take a penny for and have it pressed with a Disney image on it. Sadly, the Penny Arcade closed on March 19, 1995, and was made part of the Main Street Athletic Company.
