The first Disneyland Resort Medallions were reported in early March of 2022. Medallion pricing was $5.00 each or all four for $15.00. The second group of medallions, The Disney 100 Years of Wonder Souvenir Medallions, arrived January 27, 2023. The Disney100 medallions introduced a higher cost at $6.00 each or four for $20.00 and replaced all the previous medallions with the exception of the Star Wars themed medallions set. This new $6.00 each $20.00 for four price has also been applied to following non-100 Years of Wonder Medallions as per the San Fransokyo Square set, medallions #86-89. As of 1/2/2024, all vended medallions at the Disneyland Resort cost $6.00 each or for for $20.00. Given the popularity of these medallion vending machines at the Disney Resorts and ParkPennies visitor requests, we have added this guide.
Key Medallions Note: As of February, 2023 there have been two now scarce error medallions that were available for only a week or two. They were the DRM0030 Steamboat Willie (View a large image comparison of the DRM0030 / DRM0030A.) and the DRM0047 Lilo and Stitch (View a large image comparison of the DRM0047 / DRM0047A.) There was also a late replacement DRM0005 55th Anniversary of the Pirates of the Caribbean medallion that was onstage for about two months. Of interest, I don't know of any collectors that knew these error medallions would be replaced or that the 55th Pirates of the Caribbean Anniversary medallion would replace the DRM0004 medallion in may and then they would all, save the Star Wars medallions, disappear in January. If collecting was easy, would it be so much fun? I keep asking myself that. :-)
Medallion Locations note, September of 2023: Although medallions are generally introduced and assigned to a specific machine / location, occasionally a particular medallion may be temporarily available at another location. We have been told that this may happen when a medallion is sold out and another random medallion, which is in good supply, is substituted. Given that these substitutions are infrequent, unpredictable and short term, they might not be noted in these guides.
Note: "Retired" medallions have been known to randomly return. It is rumored that these "un-retired" medallions are to fill empty or sold out machines. We note medallions as "Retired*" when they are taken offstage and replaced by another design. It is uncommon that they return, but it does happen.
