Walt Disney: One Man's Dream 
Mickey Avenue
Consecutive 25 minute shows

Guests start with a self-guided tour, viewing memorabilia from the Walt Disney Archives that never before has been available to the public about the career and heritage of Walt Disney and the company he founded.

Rare, historic Disney artifacts on display to help transport guests through the decades of Walt Disney's life include:

  • Main Street, U.S.A. model for Disneyland
  • Walt's animation camera stand, the table on which he animated "Steamboat Willie" and "Plane Crazy"
  • Oscars for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" films
  • Animated bird from the 1800s that inspired The Enchanted Tiki Room
  • Disneyland Castle model
  • An interactive re-creation of Project X (Walt Disney World Resort) Florida conference room
  • A life-sized Roy Disney graphic with interactive audio as Roy dedicates Walt Disney World Resort in his brother's name
  • Abraham Lincoln sculpture bust
  • Disneyland Paris Sleeping Beauty Castle model
  • Disney's California Adventure model

The attraction includes a short film of Walt Disney's life that explores the extraordinary hardships he overcame to achieve what he did in his lifetime.  Guests will be moved by the scope of Walt Disney, the imagination of one man, what he accomplished, and what he inspired.

In one of the attraction's most exciting features, Walt Disney himself talks about the most meaningful and emotional moments of his life through a rare collection of audio interviews, many heard publicly for the first time, which are triggered when guests approach the various sections of the gallery.
