After arriving at the Animal Kingdom Deluxe Resort in Walt Disney World, Aaron and I headed to Downtown Disney to check out the shops and wait for the other people in our party to arrive from elsewhere in the United States. We found our way to the shuttle “motor coach”, in Disney speak, and upon arriving, went into the first store that interested us, a fine art gallery of Disney paintings, sculptures, and other collectibles. Knowing that Scrooge McDuck was rare and hardly ever featured on any of the Disney properties, I had already steeled my heart to be disappointed but upon walking through the door and lifting my eyes, the first painting I saw was this:
The first thing we saw when we walked into the art gallery was a Scrooge McDuck painting! I kid you not. One of the limited editions were only $400 so I bought it.
The limited edition Scrooge McDuck print was around $400.00 so I bought it and a smaller version for my office and my home office, respectively. This completely rocks.
There were also a lot of different collectible figurines, including this Beauty and the Beast statue. I wish they had more Scrooge McDuck stuff; I would have bought it all.
Even more Disney collectible figurine statues including a Christmas Mickey and Minnie Mouse and a Jessica Rabbit.
a Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy collectible street car figurine.
What a great way to star the trip! I’m excited!
