Disney Gallery Opening October 2nd in the Bank of Main Street Building
Bank On It! The Disney Gallery set to open this Fall in the former Bank of Main Street Building!
Like most, you’ve probably missed visiting The Disney Gallery on your recent trips to Disneyland® park. Well, good news! the hotspot for viewing original and one-of-a-kind Disney artwork and artifacts is ready to re-open in the fall at its new location – in the former Bank of Main Street, right next to the Disneyland® Opera House.
This new location offers roughly the same amount of area as the gallery’s previous home above the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction (which is now occupied by the Disneyland® Dream Suite). And, just as before, The Disney Gallery will be made up of three separate rooms – two exhibit rooms and a gift shop. “This will allow us to tell on continuous story, or three separate stories, as we used to in the former gallery,” said Kim Irvine, Walt Disney Imagineering and Art Director for this project. She also told us that the unique qualities of the building have been incorporated into the gallery’s theme: “We’ll maintain the bank look and architecture and visually tell the story that this was an old bank that has been turned into an art gallery. Guests will still see remnants of the old bank influence – like the vault!” So be sure to stop in and visit this longtime favorite attraction and store in its new digs.
The Disney Gallery will open on Friday, October 2, 2009.

Man arrested for selling fake Disneyland Tickets
Police released two photos of Vaughn Hutchins.
A man accused of selling fake Disneyland passes on Craigslist is being held in jail as police search for more victims.
Vaughn Michael Hutchins, 24, was arrested last Wednesday as he was selling phony Disneyland Park Hopper tickets at the Santa Ana Train Depot, according to the Santa Ana Police Department.
Santa Ana police believe Hutchins is the same man who advertised the sale of theme-park tickets on Craigslist.
The advertisement usually gave a price of three tickets for $125.
A one-day, park hopper ticket for an adult sells for $97. Is valid to go to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
The man would meet up with buyers, who would then find out the tickets were invalid when they went to Disney theme parks.
UPDATE: Detective Michael Gibbons of the Santa Ana Police Department said he knows of four victims.
Gibbons said Hutchins allegedly would sell printed-out, extra copies of tickets purchased on the Internet, which are only supposed to be printed once. But buyers would find out that the tickets had already been used and were invalid.
Gibbons said Hutchins would tell victims that his son was sick and he needed to sell the tickets to get back some of his losses. But the most recent victim became suspicious when Hutchins apparently called him a second time to say that he had more tickets. The victim arranged to meet Hutchins again and called police, who arrested Hutchins at the train depot after selling the tickets, Gibbons said.
Gibbons said he found additional victims by calling people listed in Hutchins phone. Another one called Gibbons today.
Hutchins is being held at the Theo Lacy Jail in Orange on $30,000 bail, according to the Orange County Sheriffs Department Web site. His next court appearance is set for Friday.
Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown released this statement: We take matters of this nature very seriously and are working closely with law enforcement regarding this situation.
Police are looking for others who may have purchased tickets from Hutchins. They are asked to contact Gibbons at 714-245-8439.
I know times are tough but please if you are not going to buy tickets from Disney PLEASE use an Authorized Ticket Agent!
