The Penny Arcade: From Main Street USA To Disney's Boardwalk Inn and Villas: the Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van September 17, 2009


How many of you long-time visitors to the Magic Kingdom remember the Penny Arcade on Main Street U.S.A.?

It's been gone quite a while but I do remember stopping by in the early days to play around with some of the neat old-time machines.

Ever wonder what happened to all of the contraptions in the Penny Arcade?

A lot of the turn of the century machines are in the train station at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. But several were relocated to Disney's Boardwalk Inn and Villas. They're on the walkway from the lobby to the Inn side of Boardwalk...and they all still work.

The next time you're in Disney's Boardwalk Inn and Villas, take a right at the lobby and you'll run into them.

I always wondered if those were the same penny machines. Fun little fact!
