Thomas Kinkade Studios is back for the 2025 festival with a booth located between Port of Entry and Canada in the World Showcase.

Thomas Kinkade Studios carries on the legacy of the late Kinkade, who passed away in 2012, by continuing to create Disney artwork.
In previous years, the studio has had multiple booths containing Disney-related pieces. This year, we found two park focused pieces.

The first is a detailed look at the four Walt Disney World park icons. At the center of the piece is Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle standing against a golden sunset. To the direct left of the castle is The Hollywood Tower Hotel which houses The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Further left, is a very detailed Tree of Life. The artist has included carvings upon the tree just as it is in Disney’s Animal Kingdom whose icon has over 300 animals carved into its exterior.
To the right of the castle is a slightly obstructed view of Spaceship Earth, EPCOT’s icon. In this rendering, the light of the sky is reflecting off the sphere in pinks and golds. Mickey and Minnie are in the bottom right corner just outside a shop, sharing an ice cream cone as Pluto watches playfully.

In this piece titled, “Disneyland Two Parks One Land,” Mickey and Minnie are sharing a day in the parks. Mickey is holding a set of four colorful balloons in the shadow of the park icons. while standing on a rain-soaked stone pathway.
Disneyland Park is represented by Sleeping Beauty Castle in the center of the print with Matterhorn mountain to the right rear. Disney California Adventure is represented by the Pixar Pal-A-Round Ferris wheel on the far right and the Grizzly River Run mountain to the far left.
In addition to the park prints, the studios brought along pieces that are related to Disney owned movies and franchises.

This first set contains prints inspired by 1989’s “The Little Mermaid.” In one, Prince Eric and Ariel are sharing a boat ride from the “Kiss the Girl” scene in the film. Another two depict different scenes from their blooming relationship. Only one shown here contains the film’s villain, Ursula, who appears to be taunting Ariel with the contract that allowed her to take King Triton’s trident.

This set of art contains prints inspired by films such as “101 Dalmatians”, “Peter Pan”, and “Pinocchio.” There is also a print titled, “Mickey and Minnie in Ireland,” where they are having a picnic near a pot of gold as Pluto runs and plays down the hill from them.

These prints focus on fan-favorite Disney animal couples.
Simba and Nala are the focus of “The Lion King Remember Who You Are” piece. They appear to be counseling their cub, Kiara, as the African Savanna and Pride Rock stretch behind them. Mentor Rafiki watches from a tree as Timon, Pumbaa, and Zazu approach the lions.
Tramp and Lady are perched atop a hillside as Tony and Joe from Tony’s Restaurant bring them a plate of steaming spaghetti to share. Their canine pals watch from across the street and are surrounded by lush greenery and flowers.

The classic Disney films were not the only ones to be highlighted at this year’s stand. We also found these four Marvel Studios-themed prints. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and more can be found surrounding a round table in one piece while Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Scarlett Witch, and Dr. Strange are focused upon in the others.
Thomas Kinkade Studios has one of many artist booths located around the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts which lasts from January 17 to February 24. Many of these artists even have scheduled signing times when you can meet them and have them sign your new purchases.

I’ve never been a big fan of Thomas Kinkade’s art, but it certainly was extremely popular and I did admire that he was not afraid of being too “commercial” and becoming a brand.
But, he passed away in 2012 so now the art is nothing more than a production team so nothing is personal about it – much like buying any Disney produced art in the parks. That is fine for a poster or a print-on-demand piece, but not costing what these do.
