Off The Page

In between going on rides, coming in here to look at the art is very relaxing. There are many paintings from various Disney films, and there is always an artist working at the artist’s table, adorned with a giant arch of animation drawings of the Beast from «Beauty and the Beast.»
Also, this leads to the Sorcerer’s Workshop, where you can be immersed in old-​school Disney nostalgia. It’s where they’ll play clips from old Disney animated films.

They have such cute stuff here. Love all of the Disney figurines, this spot is a must if you are a Disney collection fan. The detail on the characters is so awesome! If I had enough money, I would buy the whole store. It was just so cool what they sell here. They also have Disney paintings that are magnificent. Prices are a bit steep, but then again you are getting a unique Disney figurine that is irreplaceable.

The art of Disney. You can come here and watch artists draw sketches from your favorite movies, buy a painting, a book or even some pins!
I come here mostly for a set of pins I’m collecting, and OTP always has them in stock (^_​^), so I’m here at least 3 – 4 times a month trying to find the rest of the pins haha. Keep in mind, if you do go for the pins, they don’t have as large of a selection as some of the main shops. But regardless, a great selection!
Whether you come here for the artwork, or stumble upon it by walking out of the wrong exit for the Animation Academy, it’s a great find. The artwork displayed on the wall is so much fun. The displays slide left and right, revealing more canvases! I believe there are approximately 4 walls to view? My favorites are the Beauty and the Beast ones on the 2^nd interior wall (^_​^)! They have carved and painted wooden figurines by Jim Shore («Disney Traditions» by Jim Shore), mostly they have the princesses, but on my visit last week, they had the villains (Maleficent, The Evil Queen, Mother Gothel, etc) too! These are absolutely adorable, and beautifully painted. One day, I’ll own them all. For now, just 2 (^_​~). They also have canvas, post card, and matted prints of most of the paintings (usually they’ll be located right next to the canvases if available).
They also carry books (coloring books, Hidden Mickey Adventures, sketchbooks with art from your favorites, and so on), as well as a special line of cell phone cases that are on the more high end of the price range (are you shocked? It’s Disney!) Mostly they’re for iPhones, but they have a few Android options available (very few, Disney is apparently an Apple fan), with a price range of about $ 50 a case. Annual pass does work here, so take advantage of your discount.
I enjoy the fact that I can walk in, and just watch an artist go to town on a sketch. And if you want, you can buy it as soon as they’re done! Prices on the sketches varies I believe, but man are they pretty! The tables the artists use are pretty cool too! I’d probably buy one of I was an artist haha. But I’m not, so for now, I’ll just watch the pros (^_​^)
4 stars for OTP because it can get very crowded when it’s busy as people flow in from the park, as well as from the Academy. So inflow from two different directions. it gets a little crazy! Other then that, I LOVE this store. Definitely check it out next time your at California Adventure!

Do you really love Disney music or animation, and want to purchase something, this is definitely a place to shop. Although most of the items seem to be a bit pricey (from the figurines to the art books), they do have a fair collection of smaller knick-​knacks that I was able to pick up and found very easily that finished my visit to this particular park.

IMHO, Disneyland does a great job at making their in-​resort shops feel different from one another; that is to say, you won’t find the same items/​atmosphere in each store. Keeps you hungry for more shit, ya know? Some are princess-​y, some western, some toonish or ears/​hats centric or even wall to wall Christmas ornaments. (In New Orleans Square: L’Magique Ornement. Love that one.)
THIS place is more adult-​oriented, fancier. Classy, I daresay?
Lots of art (paintings, posters, sketches), glass figurines, pins, those weird Vinylmotion collectible things (I don’t get em)… basically, more mature tschotskies.
VERDICT: Totes GO. Stop in, take a look around. Nice respite from the crowds and kid crap.
FYI: Costumes from «Once Upon a Time» currently (as of 3÷20÷13) on display in the display windows on street… very cool for fans!

Off the Page is basically California Adventure’s Disneyana. It’s a more upscale souvenir shop with the focus more on art, figurines, and home décor items than toys and other kiddie items. It’s a nice store with nice employees and nice items… I ran out of other adjectives.

One of my favorite places to shop/​browse when I’m in California Adventure.
Let’s say that you’ve just eaten a full meal, and you know you shouldn’t go on any rides. Or maybe you need to dry off from the Grizzly Run. Or you need to get away from screaming crowds and need a place to immerse yourself in the brilliant art of Disney. Then come on over here =)
You can see the usual ear hats, pins, and décor that you can buy at most of the other gift shops, but the thing that makes this special is the art that you’ll find in the back. There will be an artist (most of the time) that will be sketching out their pre-​approved sketches that you can purchase. There will be sketches on sale that you can purchase, and there are awesome artwork on rolling walls that you can view and purchase. And, Disney doesn’t skimp on talent; there are a huge variety of artwork you’ll see, all as awesome as the last.
In terms of prices, it’s not too bad. Disneyland will always be a bit pricey, but some of their stuff is hard to find and you typically can only get it from Disneyland or California Adventure. Besides, they never force you to buy it; it’s completely up to you if you want to purchase something nice for the house…
And another thing I love about this place? If you go through Sorcerer’s Workshop, you’ll eventually end up over here. Brilliant sales tactic. =P

It’s the classier type of Disney store. The type that if you bring your kids, you pray to whatever god you claim they don’t break something.
You have far more adult like disney crap to choose from. Coffee mugs that have all the characters look like they just woke up from a Saturday night partying with Cheaptimes and I. To vintage looking posters, status and what not. Even conductor mickey mouse hats. So hey, if you want to board a train and act like you’re some engineer, by all means.
It’s attached to the animation studio thing and it serves as the exist. Which is really smart in the Mouse House Marketing standpoint, as after you go in there, most of this stuff will just compliment your every want and desire.
They have whatever the latest in mad crazy collecting of Disney crap is at the time. I believe it’s currently those Vinyl toys. But hey, they got them as well as some collectors pins that are so precious they have to put them behind glass.
If there’s a shag designed print, it’ll be in this store. Currently they have a lot of cars prints and other neat artist lithos of the film. Which is pretty neat, but again, this place is going to hit the wallet where it counts. You’ll be hurting after walking away from here with that «must have» item.

Pokeit pals, collectibles and that über cool table that the artist draws from! LOVE this place. :)

I was introduced to this little nook and cranny last year and since then I fell in love with this place. I honestly didn’t know this place existed well beyond the store to say the least, it definitely is a nice touch. I always come here to take a break and just relax with all my favorite songs playing in the bkg. if only I can have something similar to this in my future home. Man that’d be awesome.
Onto the storefront, they have amazing artwork and paintings, which is a bit out of my price range but I’d love to purchase a couple one day. They also have a section of vinylmations, glass figurines, and a section for the artist to sketch something neat.
I miss this place already. wish I was there.

[+1] Great little store to view the art of Disney. The art is displayed upon these moveable walls that you can slide to reveal more treasures!
[+1] ** They’ve got the popular artists like Noah & Kincaid on display here. They have the gorgeous Beauty & the Beast painting where Kincaid incorporates themes from his other paintings. It is absolutely gorgeous. They have an artist there that sketches inside the store & you can watch him/​her, very cool!
[+1] ** They also have custom frames which are eligible for Disney pass discount.
[+1] They also have the computer if you wish to purchase special prints off their separate online store.
[+1] Best place to wait for animation studio or Aladdin musical! You can hear all the awesome music. «A WHOLE NEW WOOOOOOOOOORLD!» «I KNOW YOU I’VE WALKED WITH YOU ONCE UPON A DREAM!» «CINDERELLY CINDERELLY!»
[-1] They get a minus star because the employees there aren’t very knowledgeable about what they have. I was searching for the Haunted House mansion print with the stretching room art but they said they didn’t have it & led me on a wild goose chase. The worker at WORLD of Disney told me to go back & use the computer there because that’s where they had it. Off the Page had it all along but the workers didn’t offer their database to me on their computer to search for my print. Oh well. I’ve finally purchased it!
