My question is this, I think I heard sometime recently that The Disney Gallery is no longer there. Is it still around at all, anywhere in the park? Does it still feature Mansion stuff, or is all that gone? Now that I have a 2nd job with a little extra income I would seriously like to see about getting a few Mansion posters, but I'm not sure now if there are any resources...and bein' as I live in Kentucky, I can't just stroll over to the park or call 'em up and see (unfortunately). Thanks for any info.

Ever since they've gotten rid of figurines, collectibles, and actual books on Disney and gone more toward the baby clothes/kids toys line, I barely spend any money there nowadays. I wish there were some secret web site I didn't know about where you could still order classic Mansion merchandise like the prints, or if I could find out that they're somewhere else in the park now. Maybe I should investigate at doombuggies.com...

Also, if you talk to the people in the LP store really nicely, you might be able to get what you want from there. There are Print-on-Demand kiosks in the Disney Gallery, which have concept art and attraction posters, as well as similar ones in the World of Disney in Downtown Disney. I'm not sure if both places have all the same things on the machines, or if either have the HM posters that you are looking for, but it's worth a shot.

As mentioned, print on demand still has a variety of prints to choose from, including several of New Orleans Square. The World of Disney Store in Downtown Disney also has the print on demand available. I don't recall if they still have the stretching room portrait or dueling ghosts. maybe someone that is closer to the park might check. Either that, or you might be able to call the Disney Gallery directly.
Originally Posted By wolfchild I know that they still have the Stretching Portraits (at least as of the end of January) since we contemplated getting them. The dueling ghosts I can't vouch for though. I think that the on the invoice we got for the print we did order, there was a number to call to order prints direct from the Gallery. I'll see if I can find it when I get home from work.

Originally Posted By wolfchild Yup, that was the phone number that I finally found. Couldn't find my receipt from the last trip and had to go back and find the one from our previous order.
Originally Posted By DoomBugger You might also want to check with "World of Disney" in downtown. They carry many of the pictures that the gallery does not. "World of Disney" has a kiosk just like the gallery. The gallery is running the "Magical Canvas" show right now so they may not have all of the haunted mansion prints that they had during the Christmas season.
