Hi, Michael! Walt Disney once said, "Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, dreams are forever." Being a painter takes a bit of imagination, and it's so wonderful that Walt Disney World Resort offers a variety of popular painting classes for kids of ALL ages (because adults can still be a kid at heart) so Guests can let their artistic side shine!
I recently read a blog post about Painting With a View where the theme was a Moana inspired sunset- now that would be the ultimate Walt Disney World souvenir! Luckily I've found a few other classes around property that might be of interest to you. Last year, the ‘Painting On De Bayou’ class became available at
Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Orleans Resort. The class is offered on Wednesdays from 6- 8 PM. If you'd like to learn some classic Disney animator tricks, try Dockside Drawing at the nearby Riverside lobby 3- 4 PM Mondays and Thursdays. For painting with a nautical theme, head over to Disney's Beach Club Resort for Painting in the Vineyard on Friday afternoons at 4:30. Wild About Painting allows you to create your masterpiece while enjoying a complimentary adult beverage on Sundays from 11 AM -1 PM and Wednesdays from 3- 5 PM on the Jambo House balcony at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge where you'll have plenty of scenery to inspire you. To reserve a spot in any of these classes, call (407) 939-7529, but do realize that classes are subject to change. Moms Panel tip: try doing an internet search of the different resort activities calendars where they'll post information about these classes. I found them at the Mouse For Less website.
Michael, I think you'll easel-y find a painting class or two during your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth this fall! I hope your trip is extra magical!
