EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK - Treasures from the Disney Archive

[Fishbulb]

MiceChat's Dustysage and Fishbulb got an exclusive first look at the amazing exhibit called: Treasures from the Disney Archive

Guests will queue in a foyer that screens moments from some of Disney's most memorable film and television moments visitors are let into the exhibit. A low lit intimate look at the most cherished items from the Disney vault.

I don't want to give away too many surprises but this sneak peak should give you a taste of what's in store. There is still plenty for you to explore and enjoy! And for those of you who can't make it to the Expo, here's your first good look.

Items from Walt Disney's desk in Burbank. Take a good look at this picture.
They may open this case tonight to display one of those scripts in an open state.






Video screens attached to each exhibit give information about each piece


Annette and Cubby's Mouseketeer outfits


to see the costumes up close is AMAZING. You can really feel their age.

Notice the velcro that helped attache the disk to the back of the costume

If you've ever wanted to tour the Disney Archives this is it! It's here, on display and ready for visitors. And it was stunning and VERY well done.

While we were not able to visit the other pavilions, we heard that the Parks pavilion is stunning.

Keep your eye on MiceChat's D23 section throughout the week for live updates and profiles from the D23 Expo. And if you have stories, news, and photos to share, we hope you'll choose to do that right here on MiceChat.

Nice update Fish! I knew I could rely on MC to make me feel like I was there.

[Coheteboy]

I'm so jealous not that you're there early but because you got the time to shoot those shots WITHOUT ANYONE IN THEM!

AND.. t hose are fantastic shots, fishy.

[dsnypaul]

Awesome! Thank you.

I beleive the check is from when Walt came to Dearborn, MI to visit Greenfield Village with Ward Kimble.

I find it really hilarious how the HSM costumes are out in the open and the truly classic costumes are under glass. Just something unintentionally hilarious I noticed.

Anywho... I really hate how I'm not going to be able to see the D23 expo... thank god for Micechat and the other Disney fan sites covering it.

Still time to call in sick tomorrow, Friday, book a flight, and be there for the Expo, and visit the MiceChat booth?

Amazing! So glad you guys got a sneak peak!

[disneytim]

Fantastic pictures Fishy! Thanks!

[ryanvalle]

WOW! That is fantastic! When they originally announced the Studio Tour and visit into the Archives, these were the things I would think visitors would see. Glad to see they've taken it out.

By the way, no photos of the Sleeping Beauty book?

I might actually cry now, since I'm not going to the EXPO. Poop.

Somehow, seeing it there like that is SO sad to me.

For the past few weeks I've been thinking if any celebrity would have been overjoyed about attending the Expo, it would have been MJ. Of course the crowds around him would have been unbelievable.

By the way, no photos of the Sleeping Beauty book?

You mean THIS?

Look how frail the original Mouseketeer hats were


Reference models from Pinocchio
