Welcome to planDisney, Lauren! I'm so excited to see that your magical vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort is just a few more days away! And I'm even more excited to chat with you about my personal favorite souvenir - a customized silhouette portrait!
Lauren, I first had my girls sit for a silhouette when they were 8 and 5 years old; today, they are 17 and 14, and I have enjoyed having their silhouette created again and again to see the details of their faces change before my very eyes. I have them hanging on the wall in my living room as a reminder of how quickly and beautifully they grow over the years!
You'll find the silhouette portrait artists in an alleyway off of Main Street U.S.A. in
Magic Kingdom Park, just outside of Crystal Arts. The artists are typically there starting at 10 AM until the park closes; be sure to keep in mind that Magic Kingdom will close early on select nights this month for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Lauren, I also find this souvenir to be one of the most reasonably priced memories! While prices are subject to change, on my recent visit, the silhouette was about $15, and the oval frames were priced around $14. Each silhouette comes with two cuts (facing opposite directions), which I love! I usually gift the second one to my parents as a keepsake of their granddaughters.
I hope this helps, Lauren, and I hope you love your silhouette as much as I love mine! If you have any other questions before your visit, come see us again here at
planDisney!
Magic Awaits,
Alison
