Saturday brought us up to Sherman Oaks to visit the Disneyland Pop-Up Exhibit and Auction. An avid collector of over 25 years has decided to sell off some of his collection for two charitable causes that his small daughter is victim to. We started with lunch at the Burbank Bob's Big Boy with Carrie, Ed & Ruby. This location is the oldest original Big Boy in the United States!
The brochure really states this exhibit the best, so here's from there: "An abandoned sporting goods store in the San Fernando Valley is not where you'd expect to soar with Dumbo The Flying Elephant or snap a photo along side a 40 foot Sea Serpent, but Van Eaton Galleries - the premiere auction house specializing in Disneyland memorabilia & original animation - created That's From Disneyland, a 20,000 square foot free pop-up exhibit that offers the public a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up-close with pieces of the Disney Parks in an entirely new way.
Guests are invited to dance along with 6 singing & dancing It's A Small World figurines, strike a pose with four original Haunted Mansion Stretching Room paintings, whistle a tune with Jose the audio-Animatronic Enchanted Tiki Room bird, and take flight with a pirate ship from Peter Pan's Flight. The exhibit will mesmerize and stir up nostalgia as it spans six decades of Park history, including blueprints and conceptual drawings of the Disneyland that almost was."
There was so much to see … up close that is hard to do in the parks! Many of this memorabilia we remember but also many that were before our time. It's really hard to believe that this collector had the giant Dumbo ride hanging from his living room ceiling! With these items up for auction, what has he kept that we don't see? It was a great experience for us all. Visit the complete photo album at the link at the end of this blog. All of the pictures have been captioned. Here are a few of the items that we saw:
