Iconic Props and Costumes to Be Displayed in
Immersive Environments, Recreating Beloved Moments of Disney
Entertainment at D23 Expo from September 9 through 11
Plus, the return of the Walt Disney Archives
Stage, an exhibit to celebrate the arrival of Walt Disney’s plane,
and more
The Walt Disney Archives returns to D23 Expo presented by Visa
with an all-new exhibit, Walt Disney Archives presents Step in
Time, a celebration of the nearly 100-year history of The Walt
Disney Company. As part of the kick-off to Disney100, this
chronological exhibition showcases Walt Disney Archives historical
assets like never before with immersive, themed environments from
animated shorts, films, and film premieres, as well as television
productions and Disney Parks favorites, including Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs, Mary Poppins, Tron, and Walt Disney World
Resort’s Haunted Mansion. The exhibition will provide fans an
opportunity to experience some of the most iconic Disney moments
over the course of September 9, 10, and 11 at the Anaheim
Convention Center during the Expo hosted by D23: The Official
Disney Fan Club.
A timeline in the center of the exhibit will showcase the
breadth of extraordinary Disney events over the past century and
will act as a guide for visitors as they journey through the
12,000-square-foot experience. Guests will have the chance to
literally “Step in Time,” into various immersive areas around the
perimeter of the space, showcasing rare historical objects as never
before, in recreations of the settings from which they
originated.
The gallery space will be divided into nine highly themed areas,
providing fans the opportunity to capture photos and become part of
Disney’s rich history themselves. From captaining the boat in
Steamboat Willie, walking the blue carpet at the premiere of Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs, and visiting with the carousel horses
from Mary Poppins, to being serenaded by Breathless Mahoney at Club
Ritz (Dick Tracy), visiting Flynn’s Arcade (Tron), and coming
face-to-face with the bride in the attic of the Haunted Mansion,
fans will have the opportunity to relive moments from 100 Years of
Wonder, all while making new memories to last a lifetime.
The popular Walt Disney Archives Stage returns, hosting more
than a dozen panels and presentations throughout the weekend.
Notables such as Disney Legend Bill Farmer, Walt Disney Archives
director Becky Cline, author and historian Graham Allan, Walt
Disney Imagineering global ambassador Bob Weis, Imagineers from the
Illusioneering Lab, and historian and artist Stacia Martin will
offer a unique peek “behind the magic.” Fans will enjoy exploring
many of Disney’s worlds, including the impressive 50-year legacy of
the Main Street Electrical Parade, a look back at the 1980s and
1990s edition of the Mickey Mouse Club, and the first half-century
of the Walt Disney World Resort.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Walt Disney’s Grumman
Gulfstream I airplane will be on display at D23 Expo. To accompany
the return of this piece of Disney history, which is having its
exterior restored and will be available for guests to see in the
Arena of the Anaheim Convention Center, the Walt Disney Archives
has curated an all-new exhibit featuring specially selected items
that represent the history of the aircraft. Included will be a
customized instrument panel originally located near Walt’s favorite
onboard seat (enabling him to monitor flight conditions), a
telephone handset (which gave Walt a direct line of communication
to the pilot in the cockpit), and a flight bag adorned with an
image of Mickey Mouse sitting on the tail of the famed plane.
Plus, join the Archives team and special guests on the
1,250-seat Backlot stage on Saturday, September 10, at 10 a.m. for
a look at the creation of the upcoming Disney100: The Exhibition,
which opens next February at The Franklin Institute in
Philadelphia.
