If you’re a Disney fan, you know there are a few classic things you simply MUST do when you go to Disneyland Resort. First of all, saying hi to Mickey is imperative. You must get a snack of some sort — churros, popcorn, Mickey bars, you get the idea. You also have to grab a souvenir to commemorate the trip. DUH.

Come to Disneyland with us — it’ll be fun!

But if you’re tired of the same old Disney magnets and picture frames, fear not. Real Disney experts know that there is one souvenir that NEVER grows old — in fact, it is literally preserving a moment in time! All that for $15? Yes, it exists, and we know where to get it!

Allow us to direct your attention to a little souvenir shop called Disneyana, located on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park. It’s not your typical Disney theme park gift shop — this place sells one-of-a-kind works of art and limited-edition pieces.

Hello from Disneyana!

We LOVE Disney artists — every artist has their own style, and there’s truly something for everyone. But as much as we love to look at all the original art around the shop, today, we’re here to talk about a different type of art: portraits.

You never know what you might find here!

At this point, those hand-cut silhouettes sold along Main Street, U.S.A. at Disney parks around the world are pretty famous. They’re a must-have for EVERY Disney fan! But did you know that there’s another place to get a custom hand-cut silhouette portrait? You can find this experience at the Disneyana gift shop now, too!

Look what we spotted!

If you’re new here, these artists create a hand-cut portrait of you (or a loved one if you have a clear reference photo) out of paper and scissors. It’s SO interesting to watch them flawlessly turn a simple piece of paper into a person. The talent is UNMATCHED.

If you want even more artwork to decorate your home, check out some of their framed pieces, too! Yep — this is ALL made out of cut paper.

SO talented!

On an especially hot or busy day in Disneyland, taking some time to go inside Disneyana for a portrait is the BEST thing to do! Keep in mind that the price varies depending on your requests — you can purchase the portrait framed or unframed.

The silhouette artists are amazing!
