Best Thomas Kinkade Disney Puzzles
Our Recommendation for puzzle lovers
MY QUICK REVIEW
A little explanation about why this my favorite Thomas Kinkade Disney puzzle is probably required here.
While I love the fantastic, magical dreamscapes that Thomas Kinkade depicts in his artwork of imaginary Disney scenes, there is something soothing to me when I pull out a puzzle of Main Street USA -- a place that I have visited many times and felt the magic that is there.
When putting together this 1000 piece puzzle of Kinkade’s masterpiece, I promise you’ll be transported to a warm night at the Disney park, engulfed by the sights of a spectacular fireworks show, allowing you to relive the awe that comes from experiencing this quintessential Disney moment.
MY QUICK REVIEW
At 750 pieces, this puzzle of Aladdin and Jasmine soaring together on a magic carpet ride, is challenging enough that it will require some concentrated effort and give a satisfactory sense of accomplishment when you're done.
MY QUICK REVIEW
I think this Pirates of the Caribbean scene is so enchanting that putting together this 1000-piece puzzle sounds like the perfect way to spend some "me time".
A great one to mount on the wall when completed!
MY QUICK REVIEW
A 500-piece puzzle provides a quick, enjoyable puzzle experience for adults that need their "puzzle fix".

Great gift idea!

My Recommendation
MY QUICK REVIEW
The Thomas Kinkade Disney coloring book gets a recommendation all its own, because if you’re a fan of his work, you will adore the way this adult coloring book allows you to channel your inner Kinkade.
It couldn’t have been an easy task for the illustrators to convert a complex Thomas Kinkade Disney painting into a straight-forward line drawing, but they did so beautifully.
In 63-pages, almost every classic Disney movie is included, giving ample opportunities to color favorite Disney characters.
The pages are bound together by glue and can be cut out individually if desired. (I personally like keeping all of my work in the book.)
When you open the book and lay it flat, the Kinkade original is in full-color on the left, and your black/white design to color is on the right. This makes it easy to look at the picture of the real painting while doing your own coloring.
Note: certain markers will bleed through the pages. Do a small test before diving in. Colored pencils work especially well.
When I was reading the product reviews, several people suggested these would be amazing birthday or holiday gifts for Disney lovers. I completely agree.

Best Thomas Kinkade Disney Cross Stitch
Our Recommendation
MY QUICK REVIEW
If you’re serious about Disney and serious about cross stitch, this is the Thomas Kinkade Disney Cross Stitch that I would recommend. Probably not the cross stitch to do if you’re a first timer.
However, thanks to the high level of detail in the patterns, you can get a lot of satisfaction out of your finished product.
The package includes 28-count cotton Aida, cotton floss, decorative thread, needle, chart and instructions.
MY QUICK REVIEW
Remember: I'm supplying my recommendations on this page of Thomas Kinkade cross stitch options for those that are more experienced with this craft.
When finished, the Cinderella rendition will be a beautiful work of art to cherish.
Just note, this project takes a lot of time and patience. But it's worth it!
The finished size will end up at 12" x 16". Packaging comes with Aida, floss, thread, needle, chart and instructions.
MY QUICK REVIEW
Since Beauty and the Beast is my favorite, I had to include Belle and her friends from Thomas Kinkade's Disney Dreams collection. I love the vibrant variety of colors in this delightful Disney cross-stitch.
Finished size is 5"x7". Again, this is a gorgeous pattern but is not ideal for a first-time cross stitch project. Intermediate stitcher, however, should have no problem.
Hope you liked those options!
That is probably the most comprehensive list of Thomas Kinkade Disney reviews and recommendations you’ll find anywhere online.

My 3 Favorite Thomas Kinkade Paintings
There are a lot of items (hundreds) in the the Thomas Kinkade Disney collection.
Here are my three absolute favorite paintings.
1) Mickey & Minnie Mouse Sweetheart Campfire
I just love a good romance, and Mickey and Minnie's relationship has always been a favorite.
When Mickey brings all the trappings of romance in a delightful campfire setting, he steals Minnie's heart and mine at the same time.
Thomas Kinkade Studios is famous for little details and hidden secrets.
2) Mickey and Minnie in Hawaii
With a rainbow and palm tree setting, Mickey Mouse charms his sweetheart Minnie, as he strums his ukulele. Reminds us of our visit to Aulani resort.
3. Mickey and Minnie Sweetheart Holiday
After a lovely day of Christmas cheer, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse steal a private moment ice skating on a frozen pond before heading back to the cottage to enjoy time with friends and loved ones.
