The Best LEGO Disney Sets in 2025

by Shawna Jacobson


The Disney/LEGO partnership goes back a long way, and it encompasses a wide variety of sets. Some of these are meant to appeal mostly for kids. Others are bigger and more complex builds meant for display rather than play, and can easily be appreciated by adults. In any case, here are the 10 best LEGO Disney sets that you can buy in 2025. To make this guide specific and helpful, we are classifying “LEGO Disney” as the sets inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disney Parks.

Best LEGO Disney Sets in 2025

LEGO Beauty and the Beast Castle

We built this set for its launch, and we loved looking at all the little, thoughtful details packed into every inch. In addition to the expected minifigures, there’s the entire roster of magical household objects. There’s a ballroom, a dining room, a study, and the infamous West Wing. The castle is perfect for re-enacting and posing classic scenes.

It’s hard to get cuter and more precious than this BrickHeadz model of Dumbo. Just look at those big ears. That tiny trunk. Those sparkling eyes. Get this if you need a little display for your work desk or your car dash.

Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle

If you want a Disney Parks castle, but you don’t have an extra $400 lying around to afford the big one, give this smaller, miniature version a try. Note: this is a model of the the original Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle out in California. It’s pinker, shorter, and stouter than the Cinderella’s Castle in Florida, which typically gets all the attention.

LEGO The Nightmare Before Christmas

We reviewed this set for its launch, and it has the perfect amounts of whimsical and weird. It’s three builds in one – Halloween Town Hall, Jack Skellington’s House, and Spiral Hill – rendered in Burton’s trademark, off-kilter style, with impossible-looking, angled walls. They’re perfect display pieces for a delightful Halloween or a morbid Christmas.

LEGO Disney and Pixar ‘Up’ House

IGN built this set for its launch, and although it’s a bit smaller than you might have hoped, it’s got the right price point at $60, and it’s got some beautiful details in the living room space. Just manage your expectations – this is more a keepsake than a ‘definitive edition’ – and you’ll be happy with what you get.

Walt Disney Tribute Camera

LEGO Walt Disney Tribute Camera

You build a vintage movie camera, and it comes with a film reel which contains LEGO-ized stills from Disney’s classic and modern canon. It also includes five Minifigures: classic black-and-white Mickey Mouse, classic black-and-white Minnie Mouse, Dumbo, Bambi, and of course, Uncle Walt himself.

Stitch

Brightly colored and extremely cute, this LEGO Stitch wears a Hawaiian shirt and comes with two accessories: a flower tucked behind its ear and an ice cream cone in its paw. Its ears are articulable, and even though the age range is 9+, an adult would have a great time building and displaying a set like this one.

Young Simba the Lion King

LEGO Young Simba the Lion King

Nearly a foot tall, this recreation of a young Simba has a big smile and a rounded, cute appearance, with its haunches coiled like he’s ready to pounce. It reminds me a bit of those composite mosaic photos, where when you look closer at one, you realize that it’s hundreds of little pictures that combine to form a large image. Similarly, this build is such a good fascimile that it looks seamless from a distance. It’s only when you get closer that you see its LEGO.

Snow White Castle

We built and photographed this set for its launch. It is fun to build, and the final result is detailed, colorful, and well-designed, with Minifigures of all seven dwarfs. Thanks to the high piece count, both the exterior and the interior of the cottage remain faithful to the movie that inspired it, and are perfect for staging classic scenes. It even made our list of the best LEGO sets you can find right now.

Disney Castle

This is a massive model of Walt Disney World’s Cinderella’s Castle in Orlando, Florida, and it’s been updated from its prior iteration. The latest set uses pink hued bricks, instead of gray or white ones, for its upper spires. This happened to the real castle in 2020, when the Disney Imagineers decided to give the castle a facelift ahead of its 50 anniversary. The set comes with eight Minifigures: Cinderella, Prince Charming, Snow White, Prince Florian, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Rapunzel, and Flynn Ryder.

How Many LEGO Disney Sets are There?

According to LEGO’s official store, 69 LEGO Disney sets are available for purchase as of April 2025, across multiple age groups and skill levels. Give the entire catalog a look if none of these sets do it for you.

LEGO and Disney: A Perfect Match

LEGO and Disney are a terrific match, in the sense that both companies cast a wide, welcoming net. Disney is not in the business of making children’s entertainment; Disney is in the business of making family entertainment. That distinction is crucial, because the implicit intent is for everyone, regardless of age or maturity, to enjoy Disney at the level they are cognitively able.

A small child might like the bright colors and funny characters. An older kid might like the subversion of expectations. And an adult might enjoy Disney as a piece of nostalgic Americana, through which they can revisit their childhoods. Disney is cross-generational, because it appeals to everyone through common, shared experiences.

And LEGO, meanwhile, has nostalgia built into its very ethos. The “System” – the idea that every new brick fits with the old bricks from 50-60 years ago, ensures that bricks and sets and models can pass down, constituting a hobby that moves from parent to child. And now that LEGO, like Disney, is directly appealing to adults as much as kids, the company is more successful than ever.
