Ink and Paint Gift Shop at Disney’s Art of Animation
The Ink and Paint Shop is the gift shop at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. The gift shop is open most days between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. While shop hours are fairly consistent, they could fluctuate. So, make sure to check the My Disney Experience app for the exact hours during your stay.
The Ink and Paint Shop is next to Animation Hall, the resort’s lobby. It has three entrances: one at the lobby, another from Landscape of Flavors, and an exterior entrance from the bus stop. Because of its central location, you’ll likely walk through the gift shop multiple times.
The gift shop carries many items, including things like resort-branded merchandise, souvenirs, sundries, and a selection of groceries. Below, we’ve provided an overview of what you’ll typically find. We do this to give readers an idea of what’s available in case they need something during their vacation. We’ve also linked to our most recent merchandise report so that you can preview photos of the latest resort-branded collections.
🛍️ What You’ll Find at the Ink and Paint Shop
Here is an overview of what you’ll find at the Ink and Paint Shop.
Apparel
One of the things that’s great about this resort gift shop is that they offer a wide range of clothing. This is especially a good place to look for children’s items. Whether it’s a sweatshirt or a new swimsuit, you should be able to find a good variety of items here. That said, this is a value resort, so you won’t find many high-end items here like some of the other resort gift shops.
Souvenirs and Resort-Branded Merchandise
This gift shop usually has an area dedicated to resort-branded merchandise. Typically, we see ornaments, ears, beach towels, mugs, and sometimes even backpacks that feature Art of Animation’s logo.
