Rob Kaz has become a staple artist at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and his large booth showcases several new parks-inspired art pieces.

Several of Kaz’s new art pieces feature animated characters enjoying a day at Walt Disney World. All of the art pieces we photographed were limited edition giclees available for $595.95 unless otherwise noted.
This limited giclee by Kaz is titled “A Good Day.” Donald and Daisy are sitting together in the car of a Walt Disney World monorail, looking out over Seven Seas Lagoon as the Electrical Water Pageant performs in the distance.
This gallery wrapped canvas titled “Checked In” is available for $149.95 also shows Donald and Daisy together in a hotel room near Magic Kingdom. Based on the shape of the wall and bed, it looks like the couple is staying in a room at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Daisy takes selfies with Cinderella Castle, while Donald looks happy to flop on the bed.
Kaz has created several unique Figment art pieces over the years, but this new giclee titled “Inspiration” might be one of our favorites. Figment is soaring in the skies above EPCOT at sunset. The ground beneath Figment features the completed World Celebration and Communicore Hall. Further in the distance, Dreamfinder is flying a blimp that looks inspired by the original Journey into Imagination attraction.
We can relate to this image of Stitch reaching for a Dole Whip. The tip of Cinderella Castle and a rainbow can be seen between the trees of Adventureland. This piece is aptly titled “Snackies.”
Carl looks less than pleased to be playing with one of Kevin’s babies in “Wilderness Explorers.” Carl stands beside Kevin, Russel, and Dug outside a Wilderness Explorer Headquarters booth in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Standing in front of the Magic Kingdom version of the Haunted Mansion, Mickey holds a lantern next to a frightened-looking Pluto. This piece, titled “Mansion At Moonlight,” includes several small details from the attraction, including Madame Leota’s floating instruments and the Hitchhiking Ghosts lurking in the graveyard.
While most of Kaz’s new art shows moments at Walt Disney World, “Full Circle” has the Matterhorn Bobsleds and Sleeping Beauty Castle from Disneyland Park in the background. Minnie and Mickey stand next to Walt Disney, holding his hands as they look out over the King Arthur Carrousel.
Showing love for Disneyland’s version of The Mad Tea Party, this art shows Alice and several characters from “Alice in Wonderland” spinning inside teacups from the attraction in this piece titled “A Round of Tea.”
Kaz has created a new series showing the modern maps for each Walt Disney World park next to a character from that park. Figment is seated next to a map of EPCOT, and Rafiki stands over a map of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Continuing the set of maps, Mickey is dressed in a director outfit next to a map of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Finally, Jiminy Cricket gestures out toward a map of Magic Kingdom.
While this art might look like Mickey and his friends enjoying a day in actual Paris, the buildings here are from the France pavilion in EPCOT. Mickey is painting the scenery while Donald takes pictures and Minnie and Daisy sip on a warm drink. Goofy and Pluto seem to just be enjoying the day in “Painting in Paris.”
One more piece titled “Two and a View” featuring Donald and Daisy shows the couple enjoying a romantic dinner in EPCOT as the nighttime fireworks are sparkling in the sky.
Inspired by the Hollywood Studios version of Fantasmic!, this print, called “The Power of Magic” features Sorcerer Mickey conducting the water bursts as Maleficent in her dragon form watches from above. In the background is The Hollywood Tower Hotel which is home to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride.
Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse’s “Partners” statue stands in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle while multi-color fireworks are erupting behind them in “View Of Splendor.”
Rob Kaz has been posting some special videos from EPCOT showcasing even more of his art on his Facebook page.
