Silhouette Studio
Monique W.

I have always thought that one of the most enjoyable and least visited areas in Disneyland is the Silhouette Studio store located on the west side of Main Street, USA. This little boutique is rich in history and magic. The Silhouette Studio has remained largely unchanged since its debut along with the original Disneyland park when it opened in July 1955. This is one of those classic experiences that has endured through the years! What makes this experience at Silhouette Studio truly unique is the overall experience itself. You don't buy an souvenir here. Rather, you are given a chance to sit before a trained artist who will cut your profile into thin strips of paper in approximately 90 seconds. It's really impressive to see how fast and accurate the artist can make a picture with nothing but a pair of scissors and some pieces of paper! Your resulting keepsake will be one of a kind! The shop itself is pretty small and easy to miss, located along Main Street near other shops, but that adds to its charm. Because of its size, it can get a little crowded at times, especially when people are waiting for their turn. But the process moves fairly quickly, and it's definitely worth the short wait for such a unique souvenir. Silhouette Studio is one of those hidden gems at Disneyland that offers such a fantastic experience! It's simple, artistic, and incredibly special! It's perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to take home a unique memory from their visit. Magic Key Holder Discounts and Disney Vacation Club Discounts are accepted at the Silhouette Studio! It's also usually open as soon as the theme park opens and closes!

We were excited to finally do this with our daughters. It's worth the wait. We had Lolita and it seems she has been a fan favorite for years after looking over reviews. Line can be a bit deceptive as they will do silhouettes off of photos. The couple in front of me had only a single child but 5 silhouettes thy wanted to do. Took us about an hour with like 5-6 people ahead of us. There is a little set up to put your phone to keep your child distracted. The process goes quick once you are inside.

My boyfriend really wanted to do this during our recent Disneyland trip. I didn't think the wait/line will be long. Boy, I was so wrong lol. We waited for an hour before it was our turn. We wanted to do one together. It is $11.99 per person. We took turns sitting on the chair to have our silhouettes done. Brian was our artist. He was really fast. Very detailed artwork. After the silhouettes pieces were done, he handed them over to another cast member to piece/glue everything together. You can add a frame for $19.99. We didn't know but they give you 2 copies of the silhouette. So cool. Also, you can have them hold it for you and pick up end of day. Free of charge.

Bob was amazing! We showed him a picture of our two pugs of their profile which felt like would be impossible and he just started cutting away! It was quick and personal. Thank you to everyone who also assisted Bob, they were kind and helpful.

The line is always crazy! But I get it. This is something that takes time to do. If you want a silhouette of your face and your families faces, you will need patience. The Disneyland Silhouette Studio is a unique experience, that is only do one time and be done with it lol At the end of the day, it's a piece of paper with a shadow of your face lol It's not gonna look exactly like you, because it's using negative and positive space to create this art. It's impossible to put in the detail to make this look realistic to you. So, the people that are upset about it not looking like them, I'm sorry. That does suck. But you've gotta be realistic about this. It's a silhouette. Not a picture. Not a painting. Not a sketch. So, it might look like you generally speaking. But yours might be very similar to someone else's silhouette too. Sure, there's some distinctions if you have a larger/ smaller nose, or a protruding/ receding chin. Those features can be seen easily with a silhouette. But, if you don't have features that stand out from the norm, then your silhouette might be more similar to others. This is still a fun concept and thing to do. I have realized that I don't care much for my silhouette and that's why I am not sharing the photo lol

This place is one of the two reasons my little boy and I visited Disneyland again after reading an article together. We have been to the park so many times; yet, we somehow walked by without realizing their existence this whole time. Such sacrilege! Cry foul, cry foul. So unlike everyone that flocked in hordes into every crevice within the park as the doors opened, we simply bee-lined our way into the gift shop that led to the little studio where this sweet magical art took place in the hands of gifted artists that cut and created this piece within a couple minutes. We awaited our turn, enjoyed our conversations with the different staff that were getting everything in place, and simply soaked in the magic that the park always exudes. A few minutes after the little one sat, the piece of art was complete. For just $12, the experience and the silhouette card...were definitely worth this visit we had randomly booked on a whim this very weekday.

$11.99 for each face in the picture

Haiku: Disneyland Silhouette Studio Disney artistry Sweet framed silhouettes Kids, pets, you name it. --- I finally got around to getting my daughter's silhouette cutout done by a talented Disney artist. I was about 9th in line and I waited for about an hour. This is such a sweet Disney keepsake and souvenir of my daughter. Can't believe it's just $11.99 per person and the frame is $19.99. Tip: You can bring a profile photo (a printout or on your phone) of your kid, pet or SO and the artist can cut a silhouette. They don't have to be there in person! Just make sure the photograph is a clear profile shot.

11/10 would recommend! This was such a unique and cool experience at Disneyland. My friend had shown me her silhouette and I was sold! My bf and I waited in line for about 45 mins/1 hour. I didn't know what to expect! The studio is very small and there's only one artist so please be patient when you go. When it was our turn, Lolita (the silhouette artist) was so sweet. She did each silhouette in less than 10 minutes! She's so talented! I also got a silhouette of my friend's dog to gift her for Xmas and it turned out so perfect! The cost for each silhouette was $11.99. Each frame was $19.99. These make great personalized souvenirs or gifts!

Date of visit: May 20, 2023 One of the things we've always wanted to do at the Disneyland Resort was to get our silhouettes done at the Silhouette Studio. One of the most popular stores on Main Street, for $11.99 (and $20 extra for a custom frame), the talented silhouette artists will make your image in about 3-5 minutes, with an extra one thrown on for free. It was my lady's 50th birthday weekend; we passed by and saw that the line was pretty short and moving fast (as I mentioned, the artists move fast), so we decided it was time to get ours done. After you take your seat and keep looking forward - the activity book in front helps - you're done before you know it. And, we were able impressed at not just how fast our artist worked, but how detailed she did our silhouettes with her scissors. For a unique souvenir of your time at the parks, can't beat the Silhouette Studio

Lolita did such an amazing job creating the perfect silhouette of my baby girl. She was so sweet & was patient as my daughter was a bit wiggly & was able to engaged with us for the short period of time it took to cut out the silhouette. We have always wanted to get one of our daughter & are so happy we finally did! The whole process is about 5 minutes or so & definitely worth it! Annual pass-holder discounts apply here! -

Jan was amazing! I wanted a portrait of my two cats and dog and she did such a great job. She was super friendly and fun to talk to. This made my birthday. Thank you Jan!

Jan did a fantastic job cutting silhouettes of my 2 fur babies.

I just stumbled across this place on Main street and looked it up online. The artists make the most amazing sihouette from live in person or from photos. I had her make 2. One of each of my dogs. It says it takes about 90 seconds to cut each, but for pups, it takes a few minutes... still amazing! I waited for about an hour in line and she finished both cuts in about 7-8 minutes. They turned out amazing. They offer framing options that run about $20 each. The frames didnt match anything in my house so I opted to frame them myself the cuts were $12 each and totally worth it. I would recommend taking the time to get yours done.

Lolita was amazing. It was very late, end of a long day, and we were all tired and grumpy. Forgot to bring a hairbrush. Daughter could barely hold her eyelids open which you can see in the silhouette which was nevertheless simply gorgeous and astounding.

Ask the Community - Silhouette Studio

What are the hours?

It's open from 11:00 am until 11:00 pm--at least for now, summer hours. The rest of the year, I believe it's open most of the day, but I'd check the hours early in the day.

Can they use a photograph for one of the silhouettes?

Up to how many people can fit in one frame?

The day I went, a family of 4 or 5 got theirs done in front of me. Mom, Dad and the young kids all in one frame. They have some examples shown in the shop so you can get a feel of what it would look like.

Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

We've now worked with Monique 4 times -- for our engagement session, our wedding, our son's "newborn" (it was a little late) session, and our son's first birthday party -- so it should be abundantly clear that we are more than happy with her and her work! Monique is reliable, easy to communicate with, and flexible as needed. We first met her at Downtown Disneyland for our engagement photos and she helped to get me and my husband in cute poses with clean backgrounds despite the huge crowds! We had some hiccups with our wedding which was rescheduled due to Covid, and she handled those changes with ease. Our wedding was on a Friday evening right after the Daylight Savings time change, so much of the event was after sunset, so she helped me to sort out some of the timing of our events to optimize our photo lighting. We have some amazing outdoor photos during golden hour. There was a very narrow window of time to get a ton of group photos done, and Monique was assertive about getting everyone in place and moving before the sun set. Even the photos taken after sunset are well-lit. For our newborn photoshoot, Monique didn't have direct experience working with newborns but was willing to coordinate with us to find an appropriate set and props. For our son's birthday party, I had never had a photographer on-site for something like that, but Monique worked with me to build a package that worked within my budget and I was so happy to have had her there. I have since learned to store multiple copies of my photos in distinct sources immediately upon receiving them, but when I did have an incident where the photos went "missing," Monique quickly sent me another copy. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Monique for any photo needs!

From the very beginning, they were fantastic communicators, helping me with everything from choosing the location to discussing the overall style of the shoot. On the day of the session, they were warm, funny, and made everyone feel completely at ease. They were the perfect team to capture our family's memories. It was especially helpful that they spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, which made communicating with my parents-in-law so much easier. Even more impressively, they somehow managed to get my cranky 9-month-old engaged and smiling throughout the session! And of course, the photos were absolutely stunning. The perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful experience. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking Dave and Florence again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented photographers who truly know how to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.

He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and provides excellent direction without making the process feel overly staged. The quality of the final photographs exceeded my expectations. They were polished, professional, natural, and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Dave Yip Photography. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!
