Pressed pennies?

[julieheyer]

This is an awesome thread! Thank you all! I love the pennies my older daughters have pressed over the years and even still have the little book we bought to keep them in. We’re goig on Saturday with 2 little ones (plus my girls who are now older teens) and I know this’ll be a fun thing for the littles to do while waiting for rider switch!

Take change with you, in my experience it is very difficult to find a gift shop that will make change for you.

I didn't find this to be an issue and don't recommend carrying around all the quarters needed for the machines. They're really heavy! I started a collection of pressed coins for my kids the last time we went and hunted down every single machine in both DL and DCA following the parkpennies.com guide. I brought nice coins for pressing but no other change for the machines. Multiple cast members in different gift shops had no problem exchanging $10 rolls of quarters. There are plenty of quarter change machines around too.

Thank you everyone. We got back from the parks last night. I had given my daughter enough coins so she could do all the machines if she wanted. She did maybe half of them. A couple were missing because they were broken, and some we just didn't have time for. She has the list so she can work on getting the rest on future trips.
