Hide/Find a Penny Thread

[Disneyaunt4]

I'll be at Disney from 1/23 - 1/29 and have already painted a Mickey head on a penny with White Out. But I'm worried that might wash off, maybe I'll redo it at home tonight using white nail polish, that shouldn't wash off in the rain. LOL

I'll take a pic of my final product before I hide it and will post to let everyone know where I hide it. If you want me to take a pic of me hiding it just let me know.

My sister is going to think I finally went off the deep end.

Oooh just had a thought... my niece has some neon green nail polish at home. I think I'll paint my Mickey head with that!! LMAOO

DH and I will be there the 23-29th also staying at Animal Kingdom. I will have a lime green Mickey on my baggalini,if you see me be sure to say hi
Have a great trip!!!

Very cool! I'll keep an eye out for you!! I'm still not packed, so I'm not sure what bag I'll have, but it'll probably be a small pink plaid Coach bag. LOL My sister lives in Texas and I haven't seen her in almost a year, so I really have no idea what she'll be wearing... at this point I'm not even sure what color her hair will be! ROFL!!

Couple more days! I can't wait!!

I am in! Im gonig April 7-11 and can hide and would love to find as well. However I have a suggestion, we should make a limitation to this game as in how many can be hidden. Im thinking like one per land/MK, one per ride/FW and country/WS etc. Otherwise all you gung-ho DISers are going to hide hundreds and then it will kind of take the fun out of it. If there was a limited list I would be more inclined to paly as opposed to spending my whole trip finding hidden pennies.

I agree about not having tons and tons of pennies everyplace. The issue I see without not hiding enough, however, is that some will disappear and no guarantees they will be replaced. Nothing says anyone has to look for all the pennies. I would suggest just writing a few down and looking for which ones you want

YES! Totally getting in on this when we're there in a week. I'm ready to hide some pennies.

(And I loved the idea of hiding little army men!)

I already said that!


I can see this growing into something else eventually. Like...we draw a Mickey head on something with a piece of chalk (for dry periods) or pencil or eraseable marker or something.

Sorry, I must've missed it.

That would be fun, too, with the chalk. I bet with how often they clean that would be gone fast

Depends on where it's done I suppose.

In front of the Rose and Crown in Epcot's WS, CMs are usually putting down a game of hop-scotch in chalk and writing a greeting on the ground, too.

Just have to find a place rather visible without a lot of foot traffic.

I have been doing this for a couple of years. The penny I hid in AK was there in October, I believe I hid it in Spring of 08 so that is a good 18 months. I hid one in MK that was there for about 3 months but was gone after my trip 6 months later. I hid one near Pirates in October that I plan to look for on Saturday. My DS and Epcot pennies have never remained from trip to trip, I need to find better spots.

Cool to know that some have lasted, though! Makes our game more fun to play since we know that it will work.

Maybe you will find a penny I hide since we leave the day you arrive If you decide to hide a penny let me know where and I'll post it on the first page!

I'm in! We will be there May 9th - 16th

I will hide some. So to get this right; after I hide a penny I post where I hide them on this thread and If I find one I'm supposed to take a photo and post it here right??????

That is correct. I will keep the updated list of penny locations in the very first post of this thread. Have fun!

Is this how I should mark the penny?

Here is how I am going to do mine. Feel free to do something different if you like! Just as long as its marked so that hopefully people don't pick them up and keep them
