Photos etched in glass About This Page:

[pthomas]

Hi all,

Hoping someone remembers these. On our last trip to WDW I remember seeing (in one of the parks, can't remember where) a place that will take your photograph and etch it into a glass ornament, paperweight, block, etc. with a Disney theme. I didn't buy it at the time, thinking it was too expensive and heavy. Wouldn't you know I've regretted it ever since?

So of course this time it is my must-get souvenier. Does anyone know what I am referring to and where they are?

Thanks,
pt

The Kodak pavillion in The Figment Building (Imagination Pavilion?)

I remember seeing them in a store at DTD but I don't recall the name right now.

Epcot in Mouse Gear. I look at them everytime we go but never get one. Maybe this next trip.

they do it in the AFI showcase shop at DHS too.

I rememeber seeing them in the Imagination Pavillion, but from the looks of it you have a few different places to choose from next time!

I just saw them in March at the Imagination pavilion after we left the Figment ride.

We just got back.....saw them at the Imagination Pavillion, and Mousegears at Epcot as well

We had the kids picture taken in the Imagination Pavillion's Kodak Center and put into a glass block for my DH. One of the best souveniers we've done. May have to do it again....now that they are years older. Later we went back and purchased the light to place under it, so they'd show up better (and colorful).

Just another note......you can find them online as well. DH decided he wanted to have one done, but waited until the last day so it was too late (as it wouldn't be ready until after we left). He found some places online that do them as well, so that's another option

You can also find a local store that does trophies. They usually have the laser cutters to do that. Just give them the photo and pick out what you want it cut into.

Outside the Figment ride in the Kodak place. Me and DH got one with us, our names, date and underneath our pic is sleeping beauty and her prince with walt disney world above it. I love it and am glad I got it. It's fun to do.

I always regretted not getting one of my Dad on his last trip, I think it was just so hard knowing he was not going to get to go again I didnt have the heart to ask him to go thru with it. I was always sorry. Hubby and I did ours for our Anniversary after the figment ride, and I have since had one of my Dad done from a picture of him.

The Arribas Brothers' glass and crystal shop at DTD does them. I bet that's what you're remembering.

We had it done in 2003 on our "last" family trip with DS and DD (they're both married now). It was the nicest thing we ever got! I think it was at the Imagination with Figment that we had it done. It was costly but worth it! DH has put it on a pedestal base that has different colored lights in it. It really looks cool!

Funny thing about it, DH had me carry it home in my carryon. At security in Orlando, they took me aside and opened my carryon because it looked "suspicious" on the XRay! (It's leaded glass) Glad they were doing their job but in the meantime, DD had to help me put my shoes on because the security guard wouldn't let me bendover!! We got a good laugh out of that.....Mom got searched!!!
