SEE A PENNY PICK IT UP! ALL DAY LONG YOU'LL HAVE GOOD LUCK! PRESSED PENNIES YOU WON'T MIND PINCHING

Like many people, who have been to Disney parks frequently, I have an over-abundance of photos from several trips to Walt Disney World. I mean, over 25 years of trips to WDW! So I finally decided rather than leaving them in sitting in a box somewhere in a closet, picking out my favorites and creating a Disney scrapbook. But instead of just putting them in photo album and also leaving that in the bottom of a drawer, I wanted to create something I could hang on a wall. So in addition to adding other scrapbooking supplies, I found some tips on the internet, of people using the pressed pennies they collected in the parks to complement their scrapbook projects.

So on my last WDW trip in June, I collected some pressed pennies that would tie in with the theming of some of the Disney photos I'd be using in my first framed Disney scrapbook project.  


I’m sure many of you have noticed the many penny press kiosks around Disney World. If you haven’t, and you’re interested, they’re generally right inside the entrances of many of the stores in the parks and resorts or tucked in the resort lobby areas.

Each kiosk have different character designs themed to each specific location.

Some of them speak for themselves like these for example:




These I picked up for my Disney Patriotic Scrapbook project:



These two I found at the Port Orleans French Quarter where I was staying. The kiosk is tucked away in an area of the lobby right next to the restrooms and a player piano.



This one I picked in EPCOT's World Showcase. Although I don't know what this says, I believe I found this penny in Japan.


Being a huge fan of the older Mickey, I couldn't resist this Steamboat Willie penny which I believe I found in Magic Kingdom.


Lastly, is my Buzz Lightyear penny that will happily will be put into use, hopefully in not too distant future, in a scrapbooking project from the recently announced Toy Story Land at the Disney Hollywood Studios.
