Apologies for not updating sooner. After avoiding covid for so many years, well, it's paid a call. This will be a short post, but we are all doing well, and trying to recover and get caught up! 

Are you a pressed penny collector? My boys are! I'm a HUGE fan of the medallions though! It shouldn't be any surprise that Disney will make sure there are special things ONLY available during the 50th! Places are sharing that the final machines are in and ready for your pressed coin purchases! 

Here's the official Disney Parks Blog Post. Now, just how many pressed pennies are they? Holy mouse, guys! There are SO MANY! Check out these photos!

Which are you most excited about? Those tags are pretty fun looking! 

Now, these are scattered all throughout Disney property...that means all four parks, the reports, and Disney Springs. Are you the ambitious sort who wants to collect them all? I know myself...I can be the sort who would want them all, but to be honest, the only ones I want are the generic, 50th anniversary ones. I can't wait to get them in a few months!

Remember...the machines have changed! Very few actually take your pennies and quarters now. Most are credit card. Sure, that's fast and easy...but is it as much fun? While I'm not sure how many of the old locations have the new machines, here's a fantastic list of locations to get you started! 

Are you ready for two brand new nighttime spectaculars at Disney World? LIVESTREAMING Wednesday and Thursday, you can check out Epcot's new show, (didn't they just have a new show?!) and Magic Kingdom's new show! (which also isn't very old!) 

I'm super excited, are you? You can go here to visit the Disney Parks Blog and get the link to watch! 

Can't watch live or maybe you missed it? No problem! It's recorded, you can watch whenever you want! 

There's something so special though about watching a Disney livestream, so I'm really looking forward to it tomorrow and Thursday!

Are you excited for the holiday specials? I am! Especially if they are DISNEY! 

Get ready for this MASSIVE list of Disney specials on ABC! While a few of these I admit, I'm not convinced are Christmassy, it's still nice to have them on! A few of these, like Prep and Landing are holiday traditions in our house!

Get ready for more exciting Star Wars releases on Disney Plus this month! From the new Mandalorian docuseries, to the Skywalker Saga, episodes of the final season of Clone Wars and already streaming favorites like the Original Trilogy, documentaries, behind the scenes with the Imagineering Story and so many Clone Wars and other great episodes, this May, you'll be able to get your total fix of everything Star Wars! 
 

While it would appear that the closures throughout Disney properties don't have a firm reopening date, hopefully they reopen the fist part of April. Our hearts go out to those who have had their plans interrupted, and those whose families have been effected by the Cronovirus. Speedy wishes that everyone recovers, and it stops spreading. Even in our small town, there have been those who have tested positive.
