Last year I participated in the 2018 Global Jigsaw Jubilee on Facebook, where you complete as many puzzles over 1500 pieces that you can in approximately 3 months. It was a great experience, and one that I decided to do again this year. I was lucky enough last year to win a wooden cut puzzle of a unicorn (although I have not yet done it). I found the challenge of completing larger piece count puzzles fun and enjoyed seeing what the other participants were able to do. Some of the designs were truly drool-worthy and made me want to add to my shopping list! Haha, so maybe it wasn't entirely a good thing I participated!
Anyway, the puzzle above, while it doesn't qualify for the Jubilee, was fun to do and I think clearly represents the diversity of the participants for the Jubilee, who come from all over the world. As I'm sure you're aware, I love Disney designs, and this one shows where many of the more international characters come from. Produced by Ravensburger, the design is bright, and well-presented with your typical Ravensburger quality.
In the meantime, I'll post up my Jubilee puzzles as I get to them so you can see my progress.

Time for another Disney puzzle- and a larger one at that! This was a Ravensburger 1500 piece puzzle which I discovered one day, and, as it features a majority of the most popular Disney characters, was just one I had to do!
As with most Disney puzzles, it didn't take me a terribly long time to piece together, as I often recognise parts of each of the characters and am able to put together each one quite quickly.
This one brought together my loves for books and for Disney and if you know a like-minded person, this would make a perfect gift for them.

I've been doing quite a few Disney-themed jigsaw puzzles of late, so I thought it might be a good idea to put them up gradually and not have a whole stack of them posted up at the same time!
The above puzzle was a cheap buy from Target but the quality was quite good, with a bright and cheerful design and a majority of the characters represented in the piece. I really like that it included some of the characters that tend to get neglected in Disney-themed montage or collage puzzles, such as Lilo & Stitch and Marie from the Aristocats. The quality of the pieces was good (except for one piece which was cut so closely that one of the round bits threatened to tear off every time I picked it up!), with adequate interlocking.
As I mentioned above, this design was bright, cheerful and very inclusive of many characters which made it immediately stand out as one of the more interesting Disney puzzles available on the market today. It was also smaller than average in terms of finished puzzle size, which is always a win in my book!
