I've been asked to do a Disney cross stitch picture for my niece. Been
searching online and can only find a very few on ebay. I found Disney's
orderine line, but they are very expensive. Does anyone know of any online
sites that sells Disney kits at a discount? Or, are there any online
freebies of the Disney Castle and Tinkerbell, which is what she would like
me to actually stitch?
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, all the Disney stuff I've seen is very expensive. I'm sure
Disney charges an arm and a leg for licensing so that has to be passed
along to the consumer. If you ever find any cheap Disney stuff, it is
likely to be pirated unless the shop is going out of business and
liquidating *all* merchandise. FWIW, I also can't recall seeing a
pattern of Tinkerbell and it has been a long time since I've seen the
castle. Nemo and Pooh are the hot Disney patterns now. Another
warning: much of the Disney stuff is available only as kits and they
aren't the greatest (nasty boardy Aida, slightly stingy on floss, etc.)
in my experience. The 101 Dalmatians kits are particularly annoying
since it is a TON of stitching white-on-white! But yes, I did go buy a
Nemo recently since my 2 y.o. LOVES "Nemo Fish".

sewandso.uk (I think that's right) usually has some Disney kits.
Depending on the exchange rate, that may be cheaper. Earlier this year,
I bought a kit priced in Euros for 20% less than the US price, even with
the shipping. :)

Go to Michaels. Or some cross stitch shops carry the books that have Disney
patterns. Many of the patterns that have appeared in the books in recent
years, were in kits years ago.
If you purchase the book, you will get many designs. Don't know if the
castle or Tink are in them. Mine are stored away and can't get to them right
now.
You might also look at the Stoney Creek website, as they have a few kits. I
am not sure if you purchase them through Stoney Creek or Disney, but I seem
to remember that there is one of the castle celebrating the 50th anniversary
of Disneyland. That one had to be purchased through Disney and when I called
they were out of it, but said they were getting more in, in a week or so,
and that was several weeks ago.
Good luck.

Googling for tinkerbell cross stitch led me to this site

<http://www.vicstitch.com.au/c/1708/1/tinkerbell-counted-cross-stitch.html>
(They're in Australia, and I don't know if those kits are available in
the US, so you may need to order direct).

Stoney Creek <http://www.stoneycreek.com/disney.html> has a couple of
Tink and/or Castle kits. But they're kits, and licensed from Disney
(and intended to be sold at the Disney parks), so they're not going to
be cheap.
Leisure Arts has some Disney charts, but I don't remember ever seeing
a Castle or Tink in their books.
There seem to be many more Disney kits/charts available overseas.

<http://www.sewandso.co.uk> has a good selection. I've ordered from
them, and have been happy with the service.
