Greetings to you, Kimberly!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for bringing an excellent question to us! I love the caricature artists located just across the exit to my all-time favorite attraction,
Pirates of the Caribbean! I'm already in a great mood from having just ridden Pirates and then I exit to see all these whimsical caricature drawings of other guests that it always brings a smile to my face. I actually have commissioned a few drawings from them and they're hanging up on my walls now! There is also an
artist located outside the Parks at the
Downtown Disney District too!
If you are planning to purchase a drawing from the caricature artist, my recommendation would be to get there earlier in the day. Their commissions can tend to pile up throughout the day and they will work their magic in the order in which they were requested, so later requests will be pushed back to the end of the day. The pictures they create will measure 12" wide by 16" in length and you may even purchase a frame as well so it'll be ready to be hung up immediately. They really make wonderful souvenirs from your visit and I've treasured mine!
Did you know that the artists will also create drawings of your favorite pets too? Just bring them a few cell phone pictures of your furry friend and they'll happily create an animal portrait for you. I did that to my Golden Retriever and it totally looks like she's been turned into a Disney cartoon!
Kimberly, I hope that this was helpful for you. These caricature drawings have been some of my favorite souvenirs, so I hope you are able to get something that will evoke some wonderful memories of your visit. If you need anything else from us, please reach out again anytime. You're always welcome at
planDisney! Until next time!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
