Mary Blair Prints in DL?

I missed the Mary Blair exhibit at the Disney Gallery and haven't been able to find a source online. Are they still selling any Mary Blair prints anywhere in the parks?

In March 2011, I found several Mary Blair prints in the gift shop that used to be where you would pick up annual passes (I think it was an old bank) inside of Disneyland on Main Street. I found them online in one of their computer kiosks. I was able to order them and have the prints delivered to my home. My sweet husband then had them framed for my birthday. I too missed the Mary Blair exhibit, but was tickled to find some of her prints. Good luck!

On leap day I saw them at that specialty collector item gift shop that's the first gift shop on the right when you're walking into the park (between the Opera House and the bathrooms that have the ATM, and at the gift shop attached to the animation building at DCA. Both had other Mary Blair art screened items like pillows, shirts and teapots, as well.

Thanks so much! Did either of you notice which prints they had?

I am sorry I can't remember all the prints they offered at the kiosk, but I bought a print of Cinderella in her carriage and one that is of an open barn with farm animals in it (it reminded me of the Small World ride). I will be going to Disneyland next month and would be happy to look for you - if you give me a sense of what you are looking for. I know her prints can be difficult to find. Just love her work though!

Thanks so much, SKG . I love her Small World prints and other things in that style the most, but find so much of her stuff fabulous. I've seen some Alice in Wonderland prints recently but they aren't at the top of my list.

Limace, I will keep an eye out for any Small World prints and let you know what I find. I will also make sure to get the shops telephone number for you. They are usually happy to take telephone orders. I was very happy with the prints I bought - they both make me smile when I look at them. That was one of Mary Blair's gifts - expressing joy through her art.

Thanks so much, SKG! Her art makes me happy, too, and I'd love to have one for my office. Cheer up the work day a bit.
