Dave Perillo’s Disney Attraction Posters & Postcards: A Complete List

(Updated with 2023’s set and a couple new pictures)

Believe it or not, some info is still difficult to find online. Whenever I get to the end of a thorny research question, no matter how trivial, I like to share what I’ve found back with the rest of the web.

Dave Perillo is one of my favorite artists right now. I collect prints/posters/whatever I’m supposed to call them. Dave did a series of posters based on Disney attractions and rides that capture a ton of the magic of those experiences. He’s got a semi-vintage style that I’m into, and I like that most of them include somebody on the ride itself. They encapsulate the experience of riding in a slightly abstract way, and aren’t just a well-posed picture of the attraction itself.

There’s too many of them for me to justify owning, but then I discovered 5″x7″ postcard versions! Now that’s achievable. But it was frustratingly hard to find a complete list of which posters exist. After extensive googling and browsing ExpressoBeans, here’s what I think is a complete list of all 35 prints, with release dates when I could verify them. I believe they were mostly released in sets of 4:

postcard with caption: Zip on down the majestic Matterhorn via Bobsled
I haven’t been able to confirm when the Matterhorn print or postcard was released.

Here’s my collection as of 2023!

The entire postcard collection laid out together
I’m disappointed that Disney chose to change the borders on the cards so many times, but I still love having a complete set.
