Miniature Dioramas Are a Little Bundle of Cute
Looking for an inexpensive souvenir that is easy to pack in your suitcase but brings a little Disney magic home with you? These cardboard diorama kits may be the perfect fit.
Unlike the Metal Earth series, which although impressive looking seems to require a PhD in engineering to put together, these dioramas are very simple to assemble. Each layer simply slips into place in the provided frame. The result is a 3-D scene from a favorite Disney attraction, like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, or Splash Mountain. At $17, it is a fun way to bring the magic of vacation home with you with a simple project to do with a child.

Hi RoseAnne,
The Pirates of the Caribbean one may only be in Walt Disney World and Disneyland right now. The others seem to be available at shopDisney.com here: https://www.shopdisney.com/search?q=diorama&lang=default&isRegSearch=1#!.
looking to purchase the diorama of the Pirates of the Caribbean I need 2 of them. How can I purchase it? is there a web site to order? please advise.
I bought all six will more becoming out?
What a cool idea!
I bought the Splash Mountain mini-di and then realized the scale was the same as the photo pass Splash Mountain photos. I’m not very crafty but with some sharp scissors I was able to cut out a new diorama layer and slot my sons into the frame along with Brer Rabbit. Were they surprised!
I bought the Tiki Room diorama at the Adventureland Bazaar in Disneyland back in May but couldn’t find any others around the resort. I was delighted to see them again at the Celebrity 5 & 10 at Hollywood Studios a couple of weeks ago. These are really fun and a great collectible souvenir (especially for kids who already have so many stuffed toys).
I bought The Haunted Mansion one at the gift shop at POP Century, but it seems like I was seeing them everywhere.
It would be helpful to know where these can be purchased. Thank you.
This particular display was at the Ink and Paint Shop at Art of Animation, but they are popping up at stores all over Walt Disney World property.
