Thomas Kinkade at Disneyana, May 15-18

It's now the 70th celebration at the Disneyland resort and Thomas Kinkade Studios was fortunate enough to have a pop up event during the kickoff weekend at the park. I had a great time being part of the celebration, interacting with guests, seeing familiar faces, and working alongside the Disneyana cast members. I couldn't ask for a better team to help us through these events—they're knowledgeable, hardworking, and a lot of fun to chat with. A big thank you to them for all of their help!

As for the park itself, I enjoyed seeing how bright and colorful the decorations were. Although the 60th celebration had a beautifully elegant feel with its diamond focused theme, the 70th has a more lively/animated and fun feel that just makes everything pop. That went for the merch as well. It was so hard not to buy everything! Haha. As for Paint the Night parade and the Wondrous Journeys fireworks show, no surprise, they were amazing. So, if you have the opportunity, go to Disneyland and see for yourself the fun and excitement everyone has been talking about.

As for the next Thomas Kinkade Studios event, you can catch me and my fellow artists at Disneyana inside Disneyland July 17-20. Hope to see you there!
