Disney's Animal Kingdom Unveils New Medallion Machines

Disney's Animal Kingdom has introduced new collectible medallion machines, offering a safari-themed set of Mickey and Friends designs. The updated kiosks can be found near the park entrance and exit, featuring a tall blue frame, wood-look panels, a touchscreen, sample medallions on display, tap-to-pay, and a dispenser slot at the bottom.

Each medallion costs $10 individually or $35 for all four designs. The gold-tone medallions come sealed in clear plastic cases, with each reverse showing the Tree of Life with the Animal Kingdom wordmark.

The Mickey and Friends Jeep Medallion features a central image of Mickey and Donald riding in a safari vehicle, joined by Goofy and Pluto. The gold-colored border features a repeating geometric pattern. On the other hand, the Lion King Conservation Fund Medallions offer a different set of designs, costing $10 for one medallion or $35 for all four.

Similar sets have recently appeared at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and several resorts. If a machine does not dispense properly, guests can let a Cast Member know, who will send them to a nearby register where a small box of the medallions from that dispenser is kept behind the counter.
