Hi Annette!
Welcome to planDisney! Well, don’t you have some excellent ideas to document your Walt Disney World vacation? I think Mickey ears and a caricature drawing make fun souvenirs. As I type this, I can see both my personalized ears and a caricature I had made during a visit to one of the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, and they both bring a smile to my face and remind me of that very special vacation. So I wholeheartedly approve of your plan!
Caricature artists are definitely available in specific locations in the theme parks, Disney Springs, and select Disney Resorts Collection hotels. Locations are subject to change, but I do recall seeing art stations at Liberty Square and on Main Street, U.S.A.in
Magic Kingdom, near the Island Mercantile shop at
Disney's Animal Kingdom and at the France Pavilion at
EPCOT. Another place to check out is
The Art Corner by Artistic Talent Group, located at Disney Springs, is a dedicated space highlighting the talented Disney artists for that caricature art.
As for those Mickey ears, they can be personalized at The Chapeau in the Magic Kingdom. Talk about a way to channel your inner Mouseketeer and look like an original member of the Mickey Mouse Club! Or perhaps you are seeking some special occasion ears...they pretty much have a whole assortment of ear hats at The Chapeau. Right now, this specialty store is undergoing a refurbishment, but it is forecasted to reopen sometime this summer. So hopefully it will be available before your September vacation! Here’s a backup plan if The Chapeau is not available:
Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories at Disney Springs can do the trick.
Hopefully these mementos will bring you MINNIE happy memories of your amazing Disney vacation. Wishing you a fabulous time at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
