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

At the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, a crowd gathers outside a tent labeled "Thomas Kinkade Studios." In the foreground, a woman savors a colorful ice cream cone, capturing the vibrant spirit of creativity and indulgence.

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.

This framed painting by Thomas Kinkade Studios beautifully captures a fantasy theme park setting, complete with a castle, lush trees, and a striking sphere structure, reminiscent of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Displayed elegantly on a metal grid wall.

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.

A framed painting by Thomas Kinkade Studios depicts a fantasy theme park in 2025, featuring a castle, a ferris wheel with a mouse character, and lush gardens under a colorful sky—a scene reminiscent of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

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.

Four framed paintings from Thomas Kinkade Studios, depicting whimsical and vibrant scenes, are displayed on a metal grid. These captivating pieces will be showcased at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts in 2025.

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.

Four framed paintings from Thomas Kinkade Studios are displayed on a black grid. Each painting, echoing the imaginative spirit of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, depicts colorful scenes with wooden frames and white mats.

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.

At the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, two framed paintings grace an outdoor booth. The left painting captures wild animals in a savanna, while the right, from Thomas Kinkade Studios, showcases creatures thriving in a lush, hilly landscape—both perfect visions for 2025.

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.

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.

  1. 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.
