  • The Beauty and the Beast artwork is fantastic. I’ll be at Magic Kingdom at the end of April. Will it still be available? I’d love to purchase the two pictured, but see them in person.

    Will any of the galleries at Disneyland or California Adventure get the pictures as well? I am at Disneyland every weekend, but Disney World trips are only two times per year…

    • Hi Courtney! As it turns out, some of the galleries at the Disneyland Resort will be carrying this after the initial launch. So keep an eye out for it.

  • You are missing an event. The April Walt Disney World Disney Trading Night is not listed. If you would please provide the information that would be great. Thanks in advance!

  • Is that castle art going to be available as a poster print?

    • Hi Tony! The Castle inspired art you see above will actually appear on a pin, Vinylmation figure and on D-Tech. The image was previously released as part of the 2013 poster art calendar.

  • Lary is such a great guy and so is his wife. I especially love his Haunted Mansion Collection.

  • Will the Figment sculpture be available at Disneyland?

    • Hi Stacy! Unfortunately, the figment sculpture will not be available at the Disneyland Resort. However, I have some good news for you.
